I think most people make fun of him. Golden and Oats just make fun of him openly.Golden points at him and makes fun of him. Someone posted a video of Golden actually doing this in the SEC Tournament game.
Loucatfan, so Oats has mocked Pope like that during a game too??!!I think most people make fun of him. Golden and Oats just make fun of him openly.
He makes fun during press conferences not during game but in very public wayLoucatfan, so Oats has mocked Pope like that during a game too??!!

On his call-in show last year, I remember that he actually said he usually drinks a glass of warm milk before heading to bed. Just to unwind, but he tries to limit it to one. Lactose.“ gave us an evening, a short evening, actually, to kind of have some very personal, private conversations”
Pope will never be the right guy. You don’t win with words. Pretty ridiculous he doesn’t get his team private time. Hes sacked every day so he goes straight to bed when he gets home. Pope has no energy left. He has clearly deteriorated throughout the season. The dude should take a few years off and enjoy that money he’s made.
If we're being truthful, what you are describing about the negative side of his personality is amplified when he's sitting down with an African American family trying to convince their son to come to UK..
youre right i do not know for sure, but he’s Mormon and many of them live to a high standard (i dont agree at all with it), and I don’t think he’s faking it. But Mark has rubbed some boosters the wrong way, not sure how widespread that is, and I’ve been told twice by two different people, one of which would not be wrong (neither would really), that he’s not as likable as you’d think once you get to know him. That he has a quirky personality and he a weirdness that can be off putting. Almost like a subtle duchy arrogance at times, or that’s how I took it. But I do think Mark is a good person beneath it all.
There’s also a huge problem with that. It’s probably why he’s never won before. Nice guys in D1 basketball would have trouble recruiting, they’d get bullied by other coaches, players wouldn’t listen to them, they’d lack control, and the jobs would be too big. Mark can’t take his routine and go up against megalomaniac psychotic D1 guys and win. Example Golden and Oats.
He’s more dramatic than a MS girl.Very personal conversations? Gah.
It cannot be that serious. Pope is treating this like an in-house therapy session. The fun is lost.
Lmao Golden’s a little *****. Everyone saw his true colors during that game and the Vandy game that followed. When Florida got their collective asses handed to them. Dude whined and cried the whole game! He was mad that they weren’t getting away with the massively aggressive type of play they did against UK.Golden points at him and makes fun of him. Someone posted a video of Golden actually doing this in the SEC Tournament game.
All these brand new accounts are the same. They all love the results. Coincidence? Yeah, no.So, beginning of the year no results yet, hyped for the new season. Then we see that his coaching abilities are bad, results are terrible, no changes, and we change our takes..and that's "convenient" to you. You truly don't see the logic of people souring on a coach after a bad season and no real adjustments?
They walk out of the tunnel before games looking like they have already lost, no emotions just subduedNo wonder they aren’t fired up before games. He can’t motivate them.
“Personal”. “Meaningful”. “Magical”.![]()
How was Selection Sunday the ONLY time in the season they have been together by themselves? FFS he is so full of horse dung.
They practice daily. They could close the locker room. They could call a meeting. I don’t really care if they met with the media or not. I’m just sick of his dishonesty.They had a CBS camera crew with them all year. Plus they do those Journey videos.
Anyone know if the documentary crew was with the team on Selection Sunday?They had a CBS camera crew with them all year. Plus they do those Journey videos.
Obviously not, the team was able to get together and play truth or dare without cameras.Anyone know if the documentary crew was with the team on Selection Sunday?
So.......the only thing you have pointed out is Golden is a punk .......Golden points at him and makes fun of him. Someone posted a video of Golden actually doing this in the SEC Tournament game.
It’s absolutely WILD to me that we have fans that quite literally get their rocks off on ANYONE poking fun at Mark Pope. It’s flat out disgusting IMO. Not only that, but just all out weird as hell.So.......the only thing you have pointed out is Golden is a punk .......
They complain when the team wins............end of story.Most of our fans would criticize him no matter what he says or does. He’s probably sick of it.
I am the type of person that backs the current leader 100%......it doesn't matter if he is my guy or my pick.......coach is having a rough go at it this year......the last thing this he needs is every basketball fan jumping on him........same goes for the players.......100% support until the last second of play.......from top to bottom not one of them are satisfied with the way the season has played out........GO CATS!It’s absolutely WILD to me that we have fans that quite literally get their rocks off on ANYONE poking fun at Mark Pope. It’s flat out disgusting IMO. Not only that, but just all out weird as hell.
Honestly this seems like a really stupid thing to get upset over. Who cares? Happy they decided to do something together and hope it helps. You all are exhausting with your negativity.
Yes, Golden is a runty little punk....who routinely mocks, beats up on and generally "punks" Mark Pope....so what exactly does THAT say about Pope??!!!!!So.......the only thing you have pointed out is Golden is a punk .......
Good point, Drcatfan.The thing that is odd is that Pope played for Pitino. Pitino has always been the master at having his teams playing motivated and with 110% energy and effort. I miss those Pitino teams when the ball tipped it was like releasing ravenous dogs. Opponents were scared.
then you are the type of guy that Mediocre/Failing Leaders LOVE, lol.They complain when the team wins............end of story.
I am the type of person that backs the current leader 100%......it doesn't matter if he is my guy or my pick.......coach is having a rough go at it this year......the last thing this he needs is every basketball fan jumping on him........same goes for the players.......100% support until the last second of play.......from top to bottom not one of them are satisfied with the way the season has played out........GO CATS!
So then, you think that Pope doesn't deserve the bulk of the criticism he has been receiving, CowtownCat? Do you honestly believe that he was a good hire? Legitimately curious.It’s absolutely WILD to me that we have fans that quite literally get their rocks off on ANYONE poking fun at Mark Pope. It’s flat out disgusting IMO. Not only that, but just all out weird as hell.
Herb Sendek is 3-1 against Mark Pope while he was at BYU. I don’t know why anyone is confident against Santa Clara.Pope should be really familiar with Santa Clara. BYU was in the same conference for a while with them. Matt Jones was downplaying the SC game and I think that’s a mistake. You can’t overlook anyone in the tournament including when coaches are familiar with each other. I always worry about tournament games lol
It sounds like the entirety of college basketball makes fun of Mark Pope.Golden points at him and makes fun of him. Someone posted a video of Golden actually doing this in the SEC Tournament game.
holy **** Herb Sendek is still around? I didn't realize that, FatCatMan. I am old enough to remember when he was the NC State coach back in the day! lolHerb Sendek is 3-1 against Mark Pope while he was at BYU. I don’t know why anyone is confident against Santa Clara.
He was on our staffholy **** Herb Sendek is still around? I didn't realize that, FatCatMan. I am old enough to remember when he was the NC State coach back in the day! lol
One day you will grow up and figure out it isn't about how loud you are or how tough you are......those things don't necessarily make you successful.........Your are so full of BS.........you are attacking Pope's manhood........and people wonder where UK fans get the crazy label from....Yes, Golden is a runty little punk....who routinely mocks, beats up on and generally "punks" Mark Pope....so what exactly does THAT say about Pope??!!!!!
So......all of your ranting and raving.........complaining......even after wins probably...........other than looking like a fool.......what have you accomplished?then you are the type of guy that Mediocre/Failing Leaders LOVE, lol.
Stupidity can be exhausting.Honestly this seems like a really stupid thing to get upset over. Who cares? Happy they decided to do something together and hope it helps. You all are exhausting with your negativity.
Or got educated?Funny how this board was glazing his press conferences at the start of the year. Now that we’ve struggled everybody suddenly can’t stand him. Same people, same takes—just switching sides when it’s convenient.
Pidgie, come on dude, you're better than this.So......all of your ranting and raving.........complaining......even after wins probably...........other than looking like a fool.......what have you accomplished?
