Huh? I'm only talking about what he did or didn't do on the sidelines. I never mentioned the locker room, did i?Tell me more about you being in the locker room. How'd you get access?

Long time poster with a normally level head also , people are losing their minds .One dirtbag is already calling him Dopey Popey like some 3rd grader.
Buddy, Mark Few can absolutely peel paint off of walls. Few is more K than Pope is Few.He’s Mark Few without the success
Fake fanHe can't sit there with his hands in his pockets acting like the good mormon.
He has a responsibility to fight for his team and he has absolutely failed at that. Its as bad as the turnover machine we've become. The players are rattled and that falls back on Pope.
He has to do better.
Previous years OP bitched that Cal would do nothing but scream and that tightened up the players. Now Pope is too easy on them.
Which one is it OP?
Guys looked like they were going to fall asleep in the pre-game speech. That is on Pope or we have some very unmotivated guys.Just to point out a few things:
1) Oweh fumbles a rebound OOB; Aub hits a 3
2) Oweh then throws lazy ass pass that results in And-one
3) Carr called for phantom foul on 3 point flop, cost us 2 points
4) Butler called for F1, probably one of the worst calls I’ve seen this year, cost us 2 points and possession
5) SOB banks in 2 3’s
Add all that up you get 16 points. None of that is on Pope.
It’s a sure sign of ignorance and not having a life to hate right now.UK fans are embarrassing. Let’s pile on Pope while knowing we have serious injury issues. Butler and Carr are OBVIOUSLY not 100% and Robinson is prob done.
At least wait another year or two to start your whining.
No worries.Don't take my post as disliking Pope. I love Pope but he doesn't walk on water and there is plenty of room for criticism.
Pope has sucked ass today. I agree.
I agreeLet’s be real, he had mere weeks to assemble a team from leftovers in the portal.
Over 50 for me. Everyone has a bad day. We just played a great team and we played poorly.Yep, for 50 years now.
The anti- Mormon anti-classy coach is such embarrassing BS.He can't sit there with his hands in his pockets acting like the good mormon.

Most people like you wouldI neither asked for nor require your agreement. It's my opinion and I'll stick with it.
What specific actions must CMP take to show you that he is fighting for his team??He can't sit there with his hands in his pockets acting like the good mormon.

Yep. My only issue was Pope and his high road with the refs. I've been consistent with that for 50 years. I just don't like it when the refs are borderline cheating. Too many folks misunderstood my post. I probably wasn't very clear.Over 50 for me. Everyone has a bad day. We just played a great team and we played poorly.
Whats your issue with me? We've never butted heads.Most people like you would
Gr8 b8 m8, 8/8Ky should have been fired up today playing the no. 1 team at our place, some injuries I know but no excuse some of this got to fall on Pope and his coach staff.
Try reading all my posts in this thread so you don't go off on some untrue tangent.The anti- Mormon anti-classy coach is such embarrassing BS.
That Mormon won a national championship and was a respected team captain of other young man at UK. That Mormon played in the NBA. That Mormon went to med school. That Mormon earned one of the most elite coaching challenges in college basketball.
If you hate him... Fine... But the schtick that he's weak/incompetent because he's a Mormon... And that he's not passionate about winning because he doesn't behave like a middle schooler and scream n stomp in a game is embarrassing for you.
Id bet he's lived a far more successful life than this poster... Who is likely alone...again... On Saturday night. Sheesh.
Get in officials faces and challenge them. Refs are just going to abuse him if he never pushes back.What specific actions must CMP take to show you that he is fighting for his team??
he is the coach of this team it is on him atleast from the past that's what I heardMost of this is not on Pope , butlers layups ? Butlers dribbling OOBs ? Guys fumbling passes , stepping OOBs , not exactly on Coach Pope , but he has to raise the level of concentration somehow .
what happens if Pope doesn't make an elite 8What should we expect by year 3? I think we should at least be to an elite 8 with a shot at a final four by then. With the large NIL treasure fund and such I think 3 years should be enough.

Your post today was too much imo.Whats your issue with me? We've never butted heads.

You are guilty of abandoning your coach today. We lost to a BETTER team. I know that’s hard for people to accept but we are NOT better than every team we play as things sit with our roster situation and I’m not just talking injuries.He can't sit there with his hands in his pockets acting like the good mormon.

how long does Pope got to do something special hereThat will be up to barney. He's the Pope of Pope.
Let me get this straight - if only Coach Pope had shown up the officials, we would have won more games this season, especially today’s game! Which of our losses would have turned into a win had he followed your sage advice? Perhaps UK needs to look into hiring a “fight for your team” assistant coach. You may be the top candidate. Are you willing to relocate from GA?Get in officials faces and challenge them. Refs are just going to abuse him if he never pushes back.
Year three I think is the year. If we aren’t at UK level by then you can bring your pitchfork out. Until then, give Pope a resthow long does Pope got to do something special here
Trying to throw a team together, not knowing who’s fit physically and who’s not creates huge inconsistencies versus a team that has everything together both talent and health but seeing as you’ve probably never played a sport in your freaking life and all you do is bitch about Pope, I could see how you wouldn’t understand itNo. There are things that are not being done NOW that have little to do with injuries, why you can't see that is puzzling. The coaching staff is failing in some areas.
💯I won't truly scrutinize Pope until year #3. He needs time to put out the dumpster fire that Calipari left behind.
No, it was simply a dumbass name of a title of a thread.Yep. My only issue was Pope and his high road with the refs. I've been consistent with that for 50 years. I just don't like it when the refs are borderline cheating. Too many folks misunderstood my post. I probably wasn't very clear.
This exactly right here. It’s his first year. Nobody was on this team last year. N O B O D Y.💯
The criticism is way too harsh from some on here for the man’s first season as our coach. He’s done a good job considering the situation he was put in.
