Just wanna say

The biggest problem is Cal left us dying of thirst for winning. In a desert. Pope deserves a real shot and put what he could together in Spring.

Unfortunately for him he inherited a rabid fanbase that's starving. I think most of us know patience is warranted but it's been sooo very long since we tasted real success that we are rabid. An already crazy fanbase is frothing at the mouth and the only thing that will quench them is victory.
 
Almost everyone recognizes that we are down a PG.. Butler is also our top defensive player and sets the tone for everyone else. Him being out has a much larger impact than what stands out immediately.

Regardless, Pope has shown he can coach with the best of them. I cannot wait for him to add some elite kids to a team like he has now, and then see returning players develop and serve as leaders to bring along the new kids. Anyone that is panicking should relax and enjoy the ride.. progress is often ugly, and messy..
 
Some of y'all are piss poor excuses for fans. Pope inherited Travis Perry. That's it. He got a roster together that is good. Lost his top two point guards and teams know it. The starting 4 has the back of Larry Bird. DON'T YOU BRING YOUR ASS BACK ON HERE WHEN WE WIN THE SEC TOURNAMENT. Get a life and another hobby and live in the real world. If you're not going to support our team, go jump in a lake.
If people just step back and think a little, it's pretty simple. When we had butler krissa at the point with krissa playing a little at the 2 spot. Oweh Robinson Brea rotating between 2-3 spot. Carr Williams Garrison Almanor at 4-5 spot. You had a rotation that played fast hard and had shooters in every lineup. Now you have to not only makeup for no point, you have to sub freshman who wouldn't see the floor at all and are not ready for sec play. All in all Pope is doing a good job with what he has.
Sure he needs to take a different defensive approach in the future. But that group played so fast that the opposing teams basic struggled to finish games due to fatigue!
