Worth the risk otherwise you get blitzed and go down bigly.
Add that to the list of red flags with coach. He’s just not UK material
Omg did he say our story again? Are you f’n kidding me?
People laugh, but I’ve been saying it looks like self sabotage all around. He can grab 25 million here and roll out quick. Makes no sense the way he recruits coaches or anything else. Unless you do it on purpose.
He absolutely knows this isn't good enough. He likely thought the UK brand would bolster his recruiting ability - meaning he could show up to the houses of recruits, blow bubbles, eat ice cream and expect them to commit on the spot.
Popes trying his best, I mean I understand the criticisms but let’s be fair about it. Poor guys just struggling, and it’s sad. This is a hard job and even though he played here… coaching here is a lot more pressure and a totally different animal. He wasn’t ready for this job and Mitch should have known better than to hire an unproven coach like this. He’s been here long enough to know better. At least Duke and UNC had their hall of fame coaches groom their replacements to take over and even help them after they retired. Pope didn’t have that luxury. Mitch has destroyed the basketball program…again.
Good word to give you time to think of something to say when you don’t have a clue. Like seriously beautifulCount how many times he uses the word "like" when he talks lol.
This is pretty funny either way, but did this actually happen? I’d actually believe that this cornball would do something like that lol
That’s why he can’t recruit.
I was about to post the same thing until I read your comment. Pope isn’t relatable at all. You can tell even in games when he’s saying something the players (especially Oweh) all act like it’s the dumbest thing they’ve ever heard.
And yet stated in his postgame comments that his first substitution rotation was productive. As was stated UK is not for a unproven coach just because he played here. What a total copout by Mitch. A little parting shot by Mitch before he transitions to his new cushy job for $1 mill a year.
Sure you can. Play them with two. Why? Because Moreno finished with four fouls and he was the only starter that finished with more than three. Coaches that sit players with two fouls in the first half regardless of the game situation are just dumb. So may times that player will finish with three fouls and could’ve been playing the entire time.
That right there shows how over his head he is. If he says that out loud then privately he won’t ever consider changing. It’s probably why we can’t play a lick of defense. He can’t teach it and they things he does wrong he won’t change.
Ding ding ding…except not “almost”.
During timeout camera followed Pope in huddle.
We had to suffer thru Cal and word salad's , now this .. sad twist of fate. ManitouDan
I think he is trying as hard as possible , he loves UK , but he's not the man for the job . Its one thing , understanding the mission,. its a harder thing to accomplish the mission.
One reason he subs so much is the guys are not in shape.
