Kentucky Hater Tyler Hansbrough Likes Our Team

I can't watch him without hearing beaker's voice. mehmehmeh!

raw
 
Yeah, I'd say hades may have just frozen over. I'll chalk it up to what an above poster mentioned- Mark Pope is hard to hate. He's not only a great x and o coach, he's just a great person and nice guy.
He’s the anti Calipari. Cal was about the most hate-able coach in college basketball since Robert Knight lol.

I always heard Cal was disliked by the referees and I've noticed it seems like Kentucky isn't getting called for as many ticky-tack fouls as in the past. Could Cal not being the coach anymore have anything to do with it?
 
Say what you want about Hansbrough but to average 12 of anything a game is super impressive, especially free throws.

There is no doubt in my mind littlecreek. And we not only heard Cal was hated by many officials, we saw it with our own eyes, over and over again. His technical fouls and yelling and screaming cost UK multiple games during his tenure. Some of that may have to do with UK, but most of it was just about Calipari.

100%. I don’t think it’s even debatable. I could write a book on why it was time for that man to go.

I definitely think that’s a large part and having a veteran team that knows how to defend well and listens to instruction better.

And don’t forget, Mark went to a referee symposium in order to better understand their job. You know that earned some respect from them as well
