Alright Pope get in their sh—, they need it bad, chew their a— out now! Never seen such stupid decisions as in the last 3 times down the floor.

 

[UKGrad24]

Pope let them back in the game with his subs again

But he is just interpreting data! It’s not his fault he didn’t create math! He can’t make Jasper dribble! He can’t stop other teams from scoring! Mark didn’t do it!

 

[Ky_Bred_Cat]

This team just can't handle success.

 

[CUJO_1970]

We are falling apart STUPID sub patterns Blew an 11 point lead.

This is so typical Mark Pope basketball. Get JJ the hell out of this game he stinks. He can’t play in this game.

Pope and his incredibly dumb substitutions.

Unbelievable really. First thing I said to myself when we got ip 12 was “well at least we have a cushion when Pope puts in Jasper”. How can a former med student be this dumb?

 

[Seth_C]

Was now really the time for Jasper?!

There is no time today for Jasper. His *** needs to be permanently on the bench. It sucks because Pope cannot be ******* stealing minutes today. Aberdeen gets nearly a week off if we win. He has to play 38 minutes.

 

[Titpwhahi2014]

Hey Derrick Johnson, if you’re reading this — was that enough time to let your boy out of his cage to do his business?

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

I'm so sick of watching our soft players. Chandler is soft. Johnson is soft. Jelavic is soft.

 

[Beatle Bum]

Two most exploitable off our bench are Noah and Jasper. Noah stays on the bench. With all of his skills, Jasper simply is not a plus.

 

[Catlogic1552]

This is why it’s hard to support Pope as coach.

 

[JSquad0070]

How can you be that good at Xs and Os but your substitutions are complete dog ****????

 

[Cats4321]

You can't have a guy like JJ on your team.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

Can’t have Mo and JJ in a game of this intensity

 

[MaysviileKY]

Pope and his incredibly dumb substitutions.

Jasper should not play another minute!

 

[ala_kat2]

We all knew how it would turn out once JJ got in. He’s not the only one making turnovers either.

 

[NociHTTP]

0ne of the absolute dumbest things you can do as a coach, is put Jasper Johnson in this game. Lead… .gone.

The ************ had ONE thing on his mind (what Jelavic was talking about a week or so ago), and that was to GET HIS.

 

[BlueBloodKyFan73]

Good lord Jasper sit down

 

[Tri-Countycat]

DA can’t come off the floor, if Acuff can play 40 so can he

 

[StuBlue270_uk]

9-0 run before you call timeout, for such a smart guy he sure coaches stupidly at times

 

[Farsight Clone]

Rinse and repeat. This is why our record is what it says.

Bit of divine ref intervention and our game goes to ****..

He does the same thing over and over. This is what is infuriating with Pope.

I thought we got rid of that with Cal.

If DA needed a breather put in Kam. JJ can't play right now Pope. He just can't. That is partly on him and YOU for not coaching him better.

 

[kmjcats24]

Scrap the analytics and go with the hot hands!!!!! Good Lord

 

[UKCatAttack]

Ride with 7 players for the rest of this game! I cannot handle these dumb substitutions.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

A hot Chandler benched. TO machine JJ in.

 

[wccat]

Pope = Hubert Davis...good at losing leads.

 

[pattyice270]

Owei is a senior you cant make that kind of passes

 

[Pulaski Cat Fan_rivals377587]

Jasper Johnson doesn’t belong on the floor. Never seen such weak play

 

[Irish son]

Pope’s substitution pattern is unexplainable

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Our coach is a dumbass.

And we're probably stuck with him for at least one more year, possibly two.

 

[AJG-15]

If we lose this game is on Pope!

 

[JASUN74]

We are falling apart STUPID sub patterns Blew an 11 point lead.

This is so typical Mark Pope basketball. Get JJ the hell out of this game he stinks. He can’t play in this game.

Exactly

 

[Beatle Bum]

Chandler is soft.

Dumb game take.

 

[Farsight Clone]

Hes Right

9 straight points. 6 at the line. I hate refs.

 

[cat tat2]

JJ can’t play in this game and Pope knows it!

 

[MychalG]

IA State has an experienced point guard and we don't.

 

[Catsfan3382]

This is without a doubt the most frustrating team - and coach - I’ve ever suffered through trying to watch. Mark Pope just really needs to find another profession. Head coach at a D1 basketball program aint for him.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

That run is 100% on Pope. JJ can’t play in this game. Their identity if forcing turns, JJ is a walking turnover machine. Should have called time out the moment he turned the first over at half court. Stupid.

 

[Kameron50]

JJ looked scared bringing that ball up

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

Mark Pope knows how to destroy momentum with these substitutions. He's so awful.
