This board could use at least half of the topics that are started. Tighten up people

Whenever they need yanked from a game for doing something stupid, Pope gives them five and yells "Good job, good job" like he's coach biddy ball. They need to know why they are being taken out of game. I'm so annoyed at multiple things this year.
Are you referring to the second game of the season? I haven't seen you around these parts of late.

Lol says someone who has never coached anyone. We made the tourney without a pg. It is his fault on jq and no back up but here lately people have awful takes.
Oh I have coached biddy ball and this is exactly the way I treated the 12 year old kids.

Because in his mind he is coaching biddy ball. He needs to bring in Taylor swift for a little pregame speech,

In their defense, Pope is a different type of "fool" than Calipari.



But in Popes defense, you could say the same for a s.hit load of other coach's in college basketball. Cal has proven it, he is one of the best recruiters in the game still, and getting the horses is the first part of winning the big race.

That's where your f.uckin up, you should be coaching 12 year olds like there 18 year olds, and getting after it.
ummmm....I think you can actually get arrested in MOST states for "popping tarts in a public toilet stall."



Oh
I thought he meant popping farts in a public toilet 😁

Also my bad - apparently Pope is telling them exactly what they need. Their effort is the greatest of any team I have ever watched. I don't know what I was thinking.

Bob Knight won 3 titles.



Would you let a coach choke kids to win a title 🤔


With out pictures it didn't happen, that's what a guy in a fishing forum I use to get on, told another poster 😂

And was old school tough, my mom hated his guts, I loved him. You had better be tough skinned, when you played for Knight. And he choked a few, the reason my mom hated him.
Other than Neil Reid, his players loved him. Then the story how he recruited Thomas out of Chicago shows he was the same guy no matter what.
Coaches can't be tough on everyone these days; some take it as it is, others, not so much.

harsh, but perhaps you have a point. The kool-aid and orange slices/donuts postgame (win OR lose) are non-negotiable though. Everybody needs a "pick me up" after a game.
Skittles and fruit punch after the game is all they are looking forward to game day.

When he smacked Kyle Macy and Joe Hall turned me against him.

I don’t know what to do. People on here used to give Cal crap for screaming and acting a fool. And now they get on Pope for not screaming and acting a fool.
You are so right but what the real problem is, both lost too many games,
If either had won more nobody would give a rip what they did.
