    Pope Flying to Israel

    Pope went all the way to Israel to watch a kid not score a point with a stat line of 0-2 FG 0-1 3pts 0-4 free throws? How much did that cost the university?

    Meanwhile, Calipari Lite Has the #1 Class Coming In, and Richmond/Thomas might return.

    Indiana rebranded after Knight. Hired one good coach in Sampson and the time era took him out for small things now and millions of dollars more wouldn't even be a whisper. I think I would rather have Cal with the new era and money and NBA proven background then a guy that hasn't recruited or...

    The humane thing

    How many has Pope sniffed? BYU got better when he left.

    He played Pope and UK for a month

    If you are a Nike school and you had sold your soul to the number one player in America and he chooses an Adidas shoe for the same amount money or less, then Nike needs to revaluate their programs coaching choices.

    OK, so no one on here is happy

    If that is your ceiling for Kentucky then you become Indiana.

    So after the crying is done, who do we try to get. Not a whole lot left

    College money is close. The good kids are wanting ten times that in future earnings? Do you go with a coach that can get you ten times that money potentially or to with a guy that had never developed a kid into a higher draft pick?

    Mo’s Tweet - Fool

    Bump this thread Indiana level.

    The plan: fire Pope in late January, let an interim coach finish the season. Line up your next coach in the late winter.

    I hate interim coaches.. if a team gets hot, then everyone thinks that's a great hire and it ends up a much lower ceiling.. Barney had three basketball hirers and two have turned out a disaster. One could at least recruit a roster capable of winning a national title. The other two offering...

    Mark Pope-please do one thing

    Yep, resign. They have a national championship caliber roster and we do not. One upset is not going to get us that type of roster.

    Stokes to Kansas

    Nope. Should of been a good enough coach and recruiter to land the guy with unlimited NIL money.

    Stokes to Kansas

    Once Stokes alluded to a life outside of one year of college basketball I knew Pope was done. He doesn't develop talent or recruit talent. BYU got better after he left and that tells a lot. Another Barney blunder. Hate it for Pope, but he just wasn't top tier level coach that even deserved an...

    FIRE MARK POPE

    I've heard from other coaches that have watched a Rick Barnes practice and a Pope practice and no comparison in what goes on. The only thing different is that Pope comes up to the crowd and tells them how much of an analytical mastermind he is on offense.

    Next Coach

    We are now Indiana. Mitch hired BCG and Pope and was forced to hire anyone capable of putting together a roster of competing for a national championship. We now have a coach that can't develop lesser recruits and all he can sign is lesser recruits. At least BCG turned a low rated player into...

    Our fanbase is such a bad look

    The last thing I heard Stokes say was you have to look past this year. That sounds like his NBA future more than the fan base . That sounds more like development..

    JQ GOING PRO

    I personally think he tried to give it a go and all the same flaws from the year before hadn't been corrected. Still couldn't score outside of a layup or a dunk. Still 30 percent from the free throw line. Agent wisely shut it down before more tape was out there. What stings this time more...
