    Hire the Vandy Coach

    FYI, he started his career at Ga southern which was the bottom of the Sun Belt and turned them into a top team in the conference. He parlayed that into the JMU job (which wasn’t much better, but more money) and took the worst team in CAA to a conference championship in his first year and by...

    Hire the Vandy Coach

    I was at that game when they beat MSU in Lansing. Mich state fans who were insufferable at the game were actually very respectful in defeat as they saw that JMU team go toe to toe with a legit MSU and even pulled it out after it went to overtime. I was at the Wisconsin tourney game where JMU...

    Pope lost control of this team

    This goes along with being in a job you aren’t qualified for, only in this case he has to hear it from the fanbase he loves and cares about. It would be hard for imposter syndrome not to take over.

    Stop the anger toward pope

    I actually feel a little bad for Pope. He’s a great guy and cares about the university. He should’ve never been hired. My feelings about this are the same as they were when Pope was announced. UK basketball is dead. The only way to resuscitate it is to totally clean house and bring in people who...

    “We feel like we’ve got a beautiful Ferrari, and we can’t wait to take it for a spin”

    This thought process is caused by an over-reliance on analytics. I have no idea what he saw in the numbers that made him target these specific players (considering none can actually shoot), but to me it’s clear that he thought he had it figured out—probably fools gold from last year. It’s like...

    Sad truth of the matter is...

    The additional truth is, our athletic department is so disorganized and dysfunctional that we are going to need total reform before we plummet all the way to bottom. We have no idea how to operate our program in this landscape of NIL and pay for play. If we continue to think our brand matters...

    Sad truth of the matter is...

    Totally disagree with this in every way. At UK you should try to hire the best in the business no matter where they are. At UK you should be able to be a perennial contender with a top tier coach. I’m actually furious we settled on Pope. Not that I didn’t think he could win, but because he was...

    Hire the Vandy Coach

    Vandy hasn’t had the murderers row of opponents but they’ve actually played a number of decent teams: UCF (ranked), Vcu, St. Marys, SMU (ranked), Wake. Sure they haven’t played/beat a top caliber opponent until tonight to get the exposure, but the schedule is actually well-crafted to be...

    I’ll take an all Euro starting 5 if it helps us win.
