This has been one of the worst officiated games of the season. I'm tired of it. Garbage.
Pope should get himself tossed. Mitch should file grievance w/ SEC
- Thread starter HagginHall1999
- Start date
Pope has to learn to work the officials. 'Monitoring' the refs as he said hasn't worked.
It won't do anything either way. Refs do what they want, are on a good ole boy network grading scale, and dont care. Who you gonna replace them with?
Agreed. When the ref decided to walk toward him I would have lost it.
And people on here thought Popes little talk to the sec post uga game would help lol
Have to disagree for tonight. I was there and he was getting his shots in
He’s been going at refs all year. I’ve always found the “he doesn’t yell enough at the refs” thing to be one of the laziest takes. People are use to a lunatic on the sidelines and it makes Pope look like a yoga teacher in comparison.
Excluding all the sears flopping fouls . Why didn't the defender who picked oweh for that break away jam did not get a flagrant taunting technical for pointing his finger at oweh and shaking it at him . God these sec officials suck between listening to the right field ramblers Vitale and dykes and these asinine officials makes it brutal to watch a college game
Furthermore Oglesby is reffing the IU game today...whatever bs he did last night he's already forgotten and doesn't care
Referees completely took the game over after we started up 10-12 points. It was whatever Alabama wanted to do on defense being aggressive. About 10 driving the lane and fall on the floor plays by Sears. Whistle every damn time. This shit has got to stop. Why even play if it ain’t gonna be even halfway fair???
To me it does 2 things:
1. Rallies the team to see he’s got their back. When you’re on the court getting mauled with no calls and your coach allows it, it’s deflating.
2. Brings more attention to the poor officiating to hopefully have it looked into more. Especially if it’s a guy like Pope who’s not one to lose his cool often.
IMHO, no coach should ever approach a situation in an attempt to get tossed. To me, the REAL question that he should be thinking to himself is how did really good coaches became almost untouchable". Coach's K , Knight, Chaney, Pitino, etc. There's a lot of these guys who were able to assert themselves to a greater degree than others, and get away with it to a greater degree. Why? I think a coach has to have a certain leeway, and more importantly, mutual respect, with these refs, in order to at least get a 50/50 called game.
Pope doesn't yet seem to have that next gear level in order to get pissed and begin a yelling match. He needs to stop always being the nice guy; you're the MF coach at KENTUCKY dude. He seems to have most of what it takes, but his personality just isn't like that. I'm certainly not knocking him in any way, I love the guy and I honestly think he will, at some point soon, get us to a FF.

What does Mitch say in his grievance. We only shot 22 free throws and they had a whopping 25 attempts. They were called for only 20 fouls, we had 22 , countem, 22 fouls called against us. You really think that would do anything except make Mitch look crazy.
Officials are on the take in my opinion. Oates was seen laughing with the officials during the game. I would like to know who reviews the officials, and ask them to become transparent about the calls or lack of calls. And how are they held accountable?
You can watch the game and see how awful it was called. They had an official stop the game to eyeball Pope. Totally unprofessional. It was a sideshow.
Dukes top 25 richest alum dwarfs UKs. Money talks. Is it any wonder why kentucky, Kansas and Indiana are struggling a bit in this department? While programs like USC, Miami, and BYU (look up their NIL) can just buy players?
