Pope pays attention to every detail

Champions Classic used a Spalding basketball. Coach made the team practice with it all week. Players say he sends film for them to watch on their phones too. I have VERY high expectations for this season.
That is what good coaches do, attention to details no matter how small may just win a game here or there. Cal was horrible when it came to the small things. like inbounds plays, defending inbound plays, free throws, watching game film making in game adjustments. I am not sure if Cal was lazy or just arrogant.

Wow, what a difference from "I don't watch film" to "sending team a video on their cell phones". Really smart
 
It's such a simple yet smart thing to do. Granted, after starting 5-5, we only went 5-20 the rest of the game so it's a shame the results weren't better shooting (I know 40% is great but still).


Just when I think I can't love Pope more, I read stuff like this. Ugh, I'm man-crushing.

Yes they talked about that crap ball on field of 68 too. Very smart of him to do that.

Kansas was only 29% from three, so we did ok against a really good Duke team
