If Pope manages to win it all his 1st yr at UK

[HerrosHeroes]

That would put him right there with Joe B as the only player/coach at UK to win a championship at UK as a player and as a coach.

Difference is it took Hall about 5 yrs as a Coach to win one.

Pope winning it his 1st yr plus being a part of the Greatest College Basketball team of all time would make Pope an instant legend, not only in Ky but in the US as well.

Good call Smooth. How you been?

I would seriously lower any possibility of that in his first season.

Would this also apply to if he wins a title in any season after his first?

Kwilt is BACK, baby!

How about we shoot for establishing a fun brand of basketball and positive winning culture?

To be fair, the title does say "IF"... we all agree that's a big if, but considering it doesn't say when, there are no expectations stated...so, for now, we can all just enjoy the thought since the team is currently undefeated and all early reports seem to indicate this team is focused on winning as a team above all else.

“IF” isn’t the problem. It’s the OP. Dude has rainbows coming out of his blown out, cursed holes.

If Pope wins two titles at any point at all in the next twelve years he will hands down be our second best coach after only Rupp. With no realistic room for argument. Funny that that’s all it should take after all this time. But that’s all it would take.

Pipe dream me man…. Pipe dream 👍

If he wins 17 titles, he will be the greatest coach ever.

Joe B did not win a title as a player. He was playing for Sewanee when UK won the title.

Guy who hasn’t won an NCAA tournament game is going to win the title his first year? Yeah, right.
