It’s very rare a first year head coach had a brand new team in the 90s. Give me one example of a first year head coach having all new hires. Mitch poped the bed with pope abd Gillispie. It’s okay to admit it.

Man, you guys keep climbing out from under rocks just to argue and what you don't understand is everyone here agrees that pope never should have been hired. Nobody is arguing that point, so why are you bringing it up?

Pitino was on the death sentence with Kentucky, ineligible for post season play his first season and he lost as many games as pope in year 2. But yeah pope is the best.

The competition level in the 80's snd 90's isn't what it is now.

Back then, there weren't many schools that cared about basketball, today, every program is all in.

But wtf are you even arguing? You're all over the place, reaching for anything you can to sustain some weird stance.

And who the hell said anything about Pope being the best? Are you drunk?

And if pope did better than Butler, maybe his seat isn’t as hot. Butler led us to 24-12. That’s mid at BEST

It was against the most difficult schedule in school history with significant injuries to 4 key players.

Just joined Thursday for the sole reason of causing arguments. It’s absurd. Very odd behavior.

No but I don’t think John wall would have went 24-12 with Oweh, brea, Carr and Amari.

Neither would have butler had he and Jaxson been healthy.

If my aunt had balls, she would be my uncle.

This guy isn't a game changer
Pope better do better than this if he wants to keep his job

You can't have 10 "game changers". You are lucky to get 5 or 6, most top teams have 3-4. You also need good Role Players.
Although a player averaging 3.1 & 3.2 STOCKs per game the past 2 years, is pretty close to game changing.

 

[JonathanW2]

He can’t score the ball there will be others who can and still defend maybe not as good as him but you need to score and be average or above average defender

That's what people said about Butler, and I wouldn't have traded him for nearly anyone.
Just being the first portal addition doesn't mean you are expected to start. We will need guys off the bench, ROLE PLAYERS, too. Would love to have a Liggins type player coming off the bench.

We already have PLENTY of ROLE players
