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..

We played a really bad half of basketball. Dip on out man. Auburn could use some fans.
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!
You not seeing this as a pattern proves you have no idea what you are talking about.
And he made the "mistake" of coming in here and beating Duke with the No. 1 draft pick. Then we looked really good for awhile. And beat the Q4 teams like Kentucky should.
So, we though "Yeah, baby! We're SO back!" Now we've had injuries, couple of bad losses, and some effort issues. And it just has a lot of us with PTCS twinges.
Pope HAS TO WIN. He knows this. I don't think he has a desire/attitude issue like Cal did on his decline. He has adjustment issues.
This isn't the Big XII. Hell, this isn't even the SEC HE played in. This is a war.
So, he's gonna have to make some philosophy adjustments. Or, he won't be here as long as he wants to be and most of us want him to be.
But this is Kentucky. Just like Alabama Football is Alabama. You come here. You have to execute. You have to win.
I like Pope. He DOES get the assignment. He just now has to pass the tests.
