Man, this is old. Just prove the numbers or stop posting them up as fact. It's hurting us and you're sounding like a democRat. Please, don't tell me you heard it from the "media", either. That would just make my point even more!
BB: VIDEO: Kentucky and Mark Pope’s Injury Nightmare is a Statistical Impossibility
- Thread starter I’m The Village Idiot
- Start date
But a lot of people felt like he got snubbed last year when he wasn't a COY candidate.
I admit that I have mixed feelings about whether or not Pope gets a year 3. I know in my last position in which I took over a situation that was a complete mess, I had a "business guy" tell me I was failing because I had not made progress at the rate he wanted it to be. By the time my 2 year contract ended, we had a complete turnaround.
I say that to say that, as Kentucky fans, we want instant success. If Pope does leave at the end of this year, I will always wonder what might have been. If Pope stays another year and things don't improve, I think I would be convinced that he was definitely over his head. I guess I pretty much fall in the category as one who is on the fence.
Why hasn't Mark Pope or Kentucky refuted the salary rumors, particularly in light of the fact that they have had a trash level season? When Pope was asked about it directly in the preseason he did not refute it. Additionally, he gets paid 6 million a year. Add that to the 22 million salary and you're at 28 million already before you get to the assistant coaches, the operative costs, recruiting costs, transportation, etc.Man, this is old.

I know the truth is a hard pill to swallow. At some point, though, you will have to take your medicine like we all do. Keep posting your smiley emojis.
I like it.
I find it interesting having speed read the first page of replies that no one is really asking WTF is going on at UK that we've had SO MANY FREAKING DEVASTATING injuries since the Kraft center was a few years old. What is it in the program, the training, or the facilities that our basketball team has had so many injuries since about.... what.... 2016 ir 2017?
We haven't had this many foot/bone issues since the men were practicing on the old floor at Memorial, which is where the women practice and also have a LOT of lost time to significant injuries over the last 10 years.
The last 2 years have been ridiculous, but why isn't anyone asking about the commonalities?
Are there better floors?
Are the floors different elsewhere?
Is it the staff and the workout regimen?
Is it what they are or aren't feeding the team?
Is it lack of quality sleep that is preventing them from healing properly?
This kind of attrition kind of crazy

Lol
Who's got time for that sht besides people posting here? He certainly doesn't have time and shouldn't be going into it. You don't chase rumors and trying to make rage addicts feel better. He needs to focus on getting the team better and recruiting his assets off.
Sure, but relying on a guy who had a serious injury coming back mid season was a gamble. Also we clearly weren’t that good when we were completely healthy otherwise.
