IMO, people are looking at Pope the wrong way

Yep you're right. He should have been able to foresee the horrible ball handling and then....done what exactly? Told them to stop?
Can't blame the coaching staff for the one part of the game (physical) they don't control.
Team is great when they are on. They just have to find how to do that consistently. It is a lot more than just some adjustments in the coach plan though.
We can acknowledge Pope is largely doing an awesome job this year, while also discuss some of the things he maybe isn’t doing as well. Nothing wrong with that. Nuance
Yeah, why don't you go get me a fresh beer there spanky and let the adults talk.
100%.
I still love the job Pope has done and he's going to be great, but it's still okay to say he didn't have the team mentally ready to play today and he made some really poor decisions.
No, no, the cold ones are at the bottom of the cooler. Come on Spanky, you know this.
No you can't. You aren't a coach. You are a fan. A lot of you need to try being just fans.
Are you a coach? Otherwise you have no right to have a thought or opinion according to you. If that’s a requirement we should just shut this place down.
Every coach looks like a genius at times and a rookie at others. Still think the guy is a fine coach.
So according to you this board can only be a big circle jerk, even when we’re losing... Were you like this with Cal?
Relax man lmao. What’s the point of this board even existing if we can’t talk hoops
Thats what I'm doing? You guys use it to complain everytime we lose and I use it to tell you all you're acting dumb. Like you aren't gonna wake up and go to work monday morning just like me. My point is complain and be upset all you want to. Its a lose it sucks you have a right to. But don't act like you are a coach and you know why we lost. Don't act like you know more than the guys that get paid to do it. If you did you would.
If you don't want someone telling you THEIR opinion then don't share yours.
STFU, who the heck are you?
I've been reading this board for a long time, nrver seen you before, it's becoming quite obvious you are a fan from another program who is here trolling. Nice try though Spanky.
Your whole argument is saying some people shouldn’t share their opinion…also saying no one knows better than a professional coach, at least when it comes to specific things, is demonstrably false.
Brother I haven’t said anything in here talking about the reasons we lost. Nothing of that sort in the post you responded to.
The entire point of my post was that it doesn’t have to be “all good” or “all bad” as some seem to make it out to be based on the game. What is your point? You responded to ME - I never came at you telling you how to fan
Not your brother. This is the internet. You said you could say what he is doing wrong.
So what is it and what would YOU do differently?
I try to remember that Pitino was 14-14 his first year. Pope is well ahead of that.
Ah, that's right, being honest is being negative in your little fake world. Does it hurt your feelings?
Who's your favorite Little Rascal? 😂
Not being agro. But I do have reason to comment. I don't see any of your names when we win.
Yes I'm crushed. Almost as much as you when they turned you down for that youth coaching job.
I hire some guys to paint my house, and they do a shitty job, I can’t criticize them because they are professionals and I’m not?
I said it’s okay for the board as a whole to discuss shortcomings without it meaning “Pope is a bad coach”. Of course I’m a damn fan and wouldn’t do a better job than Pope - I have no clue where you’re even getting these things from. We’re fans - we talk about these things.
Literally the ENTIRE POINT of this message board is to talk UK hoops. You still haven’t clarified what you’re even asking for.
Why are you crushed? Your Arkansas RazorCal's beat UGA the other day, you should be happy.
You’re the one who clearly doesn’t have an argument and resorted to making it personal first…you’ve proven to be not worth anybody’s time so I will never see you again. Bye.
My argument is the "coaches" and "fans" like yourself and the ones you're defending. Everyone sees it. It is mentioned a lot but you all are never around because its after a win. I just like calling it and I have time.
No, it wasn’t, but nice try moving the goalposts. I’ll literally never think about your stupid @ss ever again. Bye.
Wait, you're saying none of us are here after a win? what?
You're just throwing crap against the wall hoping it sticks.
In fact, it is you that none of us recognize. You're the one that is here trolling like the Arkansas fan that you are.
Well, then you better go get your daddy, because you're getting beat down pretty bad.
I didn't make it personal. If I think your opinion is dumb its not making it personal to call it such. My argument is you aren't a coach so stop acting like you all could have one the game. You just don't want to hear that.Have a good one!
