The UK media are nothing but yes-men now. Between them, the inept admin, neutered boosters and leagues of fans who will gladly eat whatever slop with the UK brand on it, no one is going to be held accountable.
ive seen enough extend him
Man, I mean this in all seriousness...if some reporter asked me that, I would tell him to kiss my happy ***. Straight up
No we want self awareness and accountability. Stop gaslighting us about everything from roster construction to team performance.
And that in itself would be a revealing answer.
It would be the honest answer.
That's because, like Pope, you're a loser who can't handle truth.
And you would need to answer them or your boss probably has good cause to fire you if you can't.
Or quick enough compared to his peers. Several 2nd year and first year coaches around the country are currently playing or already played in their conference tournament finals.
He’s got a call in radio show. You should step up and call in or text your question. Tom Leach doesn't censor honest questions. Step up.
I don't think it will happen, but I wonder how deep of a run Pope would have to have this year to make people think wow ok maybe we should give him a 3rd year. Is it elite 8?, final 4? I was thinking about this yesterday.
Thats kind of how I feel, but I agree he is getting a third year no matter what. If they can get to a sweet 16 they have real shot at getting to an elite 8 since they will probably have to beat a 2 to get to the sweet 16.
Which is why this country is turning into a joke. Corruption runs rampant because the corrupt own the media.
Why do you keep recruiting a sales team that doesn’t fit together and keeps having health issues? What are you doing to try and fix that? Why can’t you pull in the top sales firm when historically we have done business with the top companies who are now going elsewhere?
Get real...use your own scenario...your boss gave you an extention for performance the previous year...you lost top personnel through no fault of your own and you are still in position for a strong finish...and then some dude, not your CEO, not your manager, Hell, not even one of your team, some nobody who wouldn't know your business from a hole in the wall, questions your performance and demands answers...Get lost loser works too.
Part of me wishes he would answer it that way. But there’s just zero chance he would. He’d wax poetically and feed us some BS word salad for a couple minutes instead.
Just my opinion, I don’t think a couple games either way in the tournament should impact those decisions.
If that is what you personally want, sure. But I’ve watched the fanbase complain about every possible thing the man has said and ask for something else. Then, when he does the thing y’all ask for, you still complain that he did the thing y’all ask for. Call it gaslighting or whatever you want, I call it honesty.
And any self reporter who would ask those questions would never get credentialed to ask them. Sports media is the biggest joke.
The UK fans could best be compared to a nymphomaniac, you can wear yourself out satisfying them...... but its only temporary.
Man I am fine. I'm not the one "demanding" answers from someone who doesn't answer to me
World we live in, gotta be politically correct. But other coaches arent like BBN. Other coaches know how competitive and hard a job winning a Championship in college is. A lot of candidates will go, why would I leave a gig where we are successful and I have job security (I know, more money, but they aren't working for free where they are), to go to a place where they ran off Call, and now are destroying a Coach who is one of their own, who has done a good job(I promise you, nost other coaches believe he has)? Why would I want that headache?
It's a symbiotic relationship between the media and coaches. Reporters won't ask hard questions because they want to keep their access. The same thing is true of analysts because they want to stay on good terms with coaches. When a coach is struggling, it would be reasonable to ask, "Given the trials and tribulations of this season, what steps are you taking to improve your skills as a coach?" It's a fair question, but will never be asked.
Totally agree. All coaches take the blame for failure even when you know it’s not always true. If a coach says I totally underestimated the talent or coachability of these players. Or these players were supposed to be the undercard, not the prime players implying they aren’t good enough , I would ask you what kind of effort would you see and how many would return. The “honesty” that people want is an affirmation of their opinion only.
How do you think it's possible to have no recruits whatsoever for next season would be my question
