Do you anticipate any changes on the coaching staff for next year ? New or different assistants ?
- Thread starter UncleAdolph
- Start date
No. I think Pope rides out his last season with his buddies while enjoying that massive salary.
I could see Jason Hart moving on to a less toxic situation. Knowing Pope is possibly coaching for his job next season
Fox is telling the players to be a hammer and not a nail. You can't replace that kind of coaching acumen.
Seems like thatās exactly what is going to happen. Iām losing respect for this guy every minute he hasnāt resigned. Heās as honorable as Mitch Barnhart. His old āgood Christian manā routine is all an act.
Worse players next year. Same coach next year. Worse season next year.
Good riddance to any of them they brought in ZERO recruits from Hart to Bragg
We have zero coming in. Gonna scrape the bottoms of the barrel.
I think Pope is arrogant enough to think it was nobody fault. And the way people have made excuses all year long about injuries who could blame him for feeling that way.
I think weāll get players that move the ball and can shoot, from the portal, but weāll see.

As tone death as Pope has been he will probably promote Mark Fox
Everyone knows you are a troll. Thereās no players left. None coming in at this point. YMCA players left.
Would really like to know whatās going on currently with recruiting. Have a pretty good feeling itās a combination of JMI and Popes inability to close. I know Alvin Brooks can recruit. Not sure on Hart. And we probably need an upgrade on Fox helping Pope with game prep.
How does he grade out on the assistant coaching analytics?
Beautiful, just really beautiful
The fact he ever worked for UK basketball was a bad omen. Dude is the equivalent of Pope in 10 yrs.
I haven't seen Brooks do a darn thing. He's as useless as Bruiser Flint and Chin Coleman.
No changes unless one of them takes a new job. Perhaps we'll hire a GM. These aren't the changes that will alter our trajectory, IMO.
We have ZERO PLAYERS better than what we have now
I just wanted to say that I love the fact the Rupp Rafters is one of the very very very few places on the internet where having a name like "UncleAdolph" won't get you banned immediately, lol.
Agreed. Then he returns to Utah and runs for the Senate, where he becomes Senator Pope.
Brother, trust me. Pope isnāt gonna have to get rid of any of his staff. They are gonna do it for him. These assistants arenāt dumb and they know a sinking ship. You are gonna see these rats jumping as soon as they can. No one wants to be attached to Pope right now. Career suicide.
Brooks can recruit? Who has he brought to UK? Serious question
Kentucky scheme comes to an end :
- give contracts to incompetent coaches and administration saying that money is from Athletics dept budget or private donors.
- they spent money like there is no tomorrow on private jets and bonuses and retirement gigs or made up positions after retirementā¦
- sign NIl managing contracts where there is conflict of interest and for unreasonable period of time which smells of corruption.
- spent money on capital projects unnecessary based the consultancy of the same AD that last year put the athletics department in deficit both on ordinary expense ( salary, and regular expenses) and capital projects to the point that Athletic department needs to barrow money from the university fund , which comes from tuition and Commonwealth appreciation ..
the same incompetence was shown by the president and AD handling the Relationship over the years with HOF coach John Calipari., who finally left without costing the university a pennyā¦..they didnt appreciate in their corrupt arrogance the gift given to the university and BBN by Calipari and hired who they hiredā¦.
this Is the same university that mistreated Ruppā¦ā¦I guess itās expected to mistreat John Calipari and the whole fan base with incredible expensive tickets and horrible decisions year after year To the point that BBN is not even showing up to the games

If I have the name right Keegan Brown is reported to be coming in to some type of role, maybe even GM? Supposedly he helped put the team together Pope's 1st year & he worked for Pope at BYU. He's currently some type of G-league scout for the Milwaukee Bucks. The article i read said that he's really good at identifying players that fit perfectly in the offense Pope runs.
