Players didn’t talk to media tonight

[Catastic5]

Already lost control of the team. Does Pope realize that he runs a program that belongs to its fans? This isn’t your personal plaything.

Cowardly.

 

[Wildcatmenace]

Pathetic

 

[RunninRichie]

Pope is a massive fraud. Just awful at every level of this job. PR, marketing, recruiting, coaching. It's all awful.

 

[NociHTTP]

Pope just implied "the players aren't accountable" with that move, and with all that money paid to them.

 

[crxohio]

What could they say though? We got paid, we showed up, we warmed up and we got blown up.

They must be held accountable. They’re getting paid millions. Show up and take your beatings from the media. This is the expectation of every single team.

I was being sarcastic, I am the affair child of Charles Bronson. So technically im carrying on my dad's wishes although he shorted me on some child support.

Wow, what a joke!

He said this is our program. He understood the assignment. Until he didnt. He never did tho. He experienced the golden age with real players and a real coach. Not sure he knows about the bad side of it. He should now tho.

You mean Mark Pope has a soft team and Mark Pope is soft? Im guessing next time he does an interview with legendary UK analyst he will have a little bitchyy attitude also.

Pope said this was a tremendous learning experience for the team and we will get better.

Says same **** after every loss. Stoops "buckle up the chin strap" oh and "gotta clean some things up".

I kept waiting for him to say " we gotta roll up our sleeves and get back to work.

Pope was probably scared the players would throw him under the bus. And could you blame them? We've got the best 3 point shooter in all of college basketball and we can't even run an offense that gives the guy a single decent look at the bucket the entire game? What in the flammin' frock are these coaches doing? Even a mediocre high school coach would figure out a way to get his best player involved. We just run around looking stupid.

 

[meteordealer]

We could have hired Pearl and hung a final Four banner already. Instead we've had 3 years of this clown show.

We are wearing a wife beater at this point.

Instead Pope spams his buzz word young hoping for some grace.

I don't get how he can use that term for this team. He only played one freshman and most of our guys have years of college ball under their belt. I call BS

Damn.
