Pope is too smart not to win a title.
History shows that if you’re not a drunk, you’ll win a title at UK.
In all seriousness, Pope has the tools to hang a title banner. If he is able to build a core group of guys and keep them around for a few years, then he might create something real special.
To me this just sounds like common sense coaching. But hey, I realize that common sense isn't so common anymore. It certainly wasn't for the old regime.
Right. This is what most top tier programs have had this entire time. We just were in denial that our 'coach' wasn't actually a coach.
The problem with Cal was every time we thought he didn't have it anymore, he'd pull a rabbit out of his butt (The big win at KU for example) and it was ok....maybe he's getting back in it? But no, it was always fool's gold. I'm glad he did us a favor by meeting with Arky in a hotel room.
I'm trying to not get ahead of myself with the Pope love, but I just don't see how he's not incredibly successful here. He knows exactly what being the head coach of UK is all about, he's incredibly smart (Rhodes scholar candidate and Columbia med school student), and has a great work ethic.
It will be epic if we can shut down UCONN in the tourney to end their triple championship talk.
