Pope

no better here than Cal bash me if u want but he will never win a championship here
Really silly post. He put together a whole team in a few short weeks. Injured starter didn't play today. Top reserve been out for weeks.

First team at UK. I'm disappointed. Thought things could go bad in league play. But to compare him to Cal is just nonsense.
 
What's been ingrained in Amaris head cannot be fixed by Coach Pope in a half a season. If that's your justification for abandoning Coach Pope for the future success he will have here you must be miserable?
I’m not abandoning coach Pope. I’m telling him to demand better from Amari or sit his sorry ass. I think that’s reasonable. Do you not?

and Vanderbilt didn't?
 
Here come the trolls that have been laying in wait.

We are down 2 of our top 6

The team was put together in 3 weeks and had expectations of a 6-9 seed. Making the tournament and winning 1 game was what ppl anticipated.

This will be the least talented team he has here. Year 2-4 was always the goal post.

This year has been an overachievement to this point.

Get Carr (and hopefully Kerr) back for March and hit the trail hard for next season to find the missing pieces and right fits.
This board makes me sick. I was thinking about making my first thread just to complain about "fans" but there is enough moaning going on already.

If this board was used to represent BBN it would justify the hate we get nationally from the media and other fan bases.

The most entitled bunch there is. Acting like they could coach us to back to back championships from their desk chairs.
 
Trolls? Not that I see. What I see are fans who are rightfully upset with the lack of effort today, lack of team play, lack of coaching to address issues that are not being addressed. This team lost today not because it's missing 2 out of its top 6 players. It lost because of not being ready to play in the first half (AGAIN), and not putting forth the effort and decision-making necessary for a win. This game was very winnable. Vanderbilt likes to punch opponents in the mouth with its deep shooting and stripping away at the ball. Apparently Pope missed that.
You may see that, but we will disagree. I DID see a team that for whatever reason went off the rails twice at terrible times. I also saw a team missing it's only true facsimile of a power forward. Lack of effort to me would say the Cats were never in the game...and we both know that's not true.

We are very thin at the 4 and for whatever reason serviceable at 5. Our best shooting 3 is a six foot four version of a five foot guard that leaves us 4 on 5 on defense.

This team definitely has weaknesses that we all notice. But the rants I read about Pope not being much of a coach or 'we suck' are both not productive as well as borderline stupid.

Sorry we disagree on this on boss lady...just is what is.
 
Bad loss today, but impossible to know what Pope will ultimately do here.

I see a lot of things I like from him, so I'm hoping for the best. We'll see.
Didn't like what I saw most of the game but,,,, Vandy just beat Tenn and Goose Givens said we did not get a shoot around in that strange gym today- on radio he said Vandy told us the gym was not available when we were scheduled to do a shoot around today

Well good thing we got people like you walking on water to Keep us humble. Thanks weird internet dad
 
The thing that makes it worse is that he lost out on Wilson. Those are the types of players he needs but he couldn’t close the deal.
 
Everyone not named Auburn and Bama are losing on the road. We were without Carr, , with him we win this game even with the refs allowing Vandy to football us
So far Butler and Carr have been hurt. I wonder who the first player to file lawsuit against the SEC for getting hurt due to shit refs allowing football type games will be.

Unless you know the details of his NIL you can’t blame Pope. It may have been ludicrous type money. Davis may be willing to do that as his seat is gonna get real hot on his current trajectory. Not really a fair statement unless you just wanna cry at the hat picking ceremony.

Love me some Pope!! Not sure why everyone has such high expectations in year 1. This is an average sec team this year. Will still be a tourney team though. A solid coach with just above average players . But that’ll change
Because we have 5 top 21 NET wins and 6 quad one wins. Mark set the bar pretty damn high out of the gate. Hence the frustration from everyone. And most of it deserved the way we have been playing worse.

Why did they let 15 seconds run off the clock at the end before they made any effort to foul?? Thought that was stupid play! We went from 40 seconds down to 23 when we finally fouled. They hit one and missed one which only put Vandy up 4. Lots of things to be critical of in this game
