Wait, why are we mad? The guy was p*ssed off and that's what we wanted. He was fuming in that press conference and he was protecting the players and telling everyone they are focused on trying to win.
Pope most likely isn’t going to be here much longer, but I like seeing him p*ssed off, because that's what it's going to take.
He called out the refs without actually calling them out, isn't that what we want him to do?
And to sit here and say "ball should have gone to Aberdeen" blah, blah, blah, that's some Monday morning quarterback crap there. Throwing the ball in to Chandler was a good option, Aberdeen was covered and DA could have been called for that same foul too.
Yeah, maybe Pope could have left the fans out of it, but he wss p*ssed and trying to protect his players and let them know he has their back.
I liked seeing him angry, been waiting for it. I'm not going to be so sensitive that I come unglued.
Cal used to mock us and call us Bennies, I don't care that he has been to final 4's and won titles, don't mock me when you're losing to Evansville at home.
I don't get it, we get mad at him for being passive, now we're chapped at him for being p*ssed. Make up your minds guys. Are we really going to be that sensitive?
Yeah, should have had a bigger lead, but our key guys were in foul trouble in a road game, how the heck do you defend an athletic team when you're not allowed to defend?
We all know Pope is not ready for this job, we all agree on that, but that doesn't mean we need to over-critisize everything the guy does, especially when he's actually working his a$$ off to win. Our last coach stopped putting in the work many years ago, at least Pope is trying to do everything he can to win.
