    BB: POPE fined $25,000

    I would think Mark could just refuse to pay it. He didn't directly criticize the refs. Since when can the SEC fine you for a private comment made between administration officials?

    BB: POPE fined $25,000

    This is absolutely the case. Watch for situations where there is a great discrepancy between fouls called on the home team vs away team. The refs will start calling lots of fouls "off the ball" that will equal out the foul totals.

    If you were the UK coach how would you remedy the team's problems?

    That's 100% true. But you still have to keep kicking it to wide open shooters. You _have_ to expect them to make them.

    If you were the UK coach how would you remedy the team's problems?

    yup. only 8/2. wide open players with no passes while he takes contested shots in traffic. He's one of our better players so you have to play him. Really it's a problem with the entire team not sharing the ball.

    Step down

    I'm not fully out on Pope yet but I do wonder if Pearl is playing a long game here. He "retires" from Auburn suddenly. I wonder if he saw the roster construction and thought this will be the end of Pope. Maybe he was trying to make himself available for next season. Pearl is a great coach...

    Aberdeen is one of the worst ball hogs. he's been one of our best players but he needs to see the whole court.

    This is all true but I think Pope knows this and is teaching this. The players are simply not doing. No coaching fixes players who have checked out. You just have to play other players.

    Love it. Would def do this. They buy their own gear with all their money.

    yeah, but we didn't know that going into it. Everything pointed to Oweh having a breakout year. He decided that wasn't going to happen

    You are right about not playing man. They are simply not able or not willing. Zone is the best option defensively.

    The assignment is coming to end

    100%. Judge after the season when he has the total team. Again, I appreciate your reasonable and adult takes. Thank you. If Pope hadn't missed all those shots we would have won....

    So happy that Pope doesn't read this board...

    He literally mentioned that Pope would have trouble keeping players happy. And it seems he may be right about that.

    So happy that Pope doesn't read this board...

    I judge a team/coach after the season is over. Remember how many games Ark lost last year? Every team is different and every team needs different coaching to try and get them where they need to be. And that's only if the players egos _allow_ them to come together. If people had the take...

    So happy that Pope doesn't read this board...

    I agree. Man, reasonable and well thought out responses are so few on this board. This game was winnable but I wonder what the UNC board would be like if we had squeaked out the victory. Some fans understand the season is long and they appreciate improvement rather than have juvenile...
