You can’t put that on the coach. That is everybody’s fault. I would think more than anything the players on the floor are at fault on that.

You mean he hasn’t yet. If he did it would be a magical moment they would all take in a share together though.

I mean with the "talent" Poop landed with $20M, and the way they played defense, he may as well have left 4 on the court.

Correct. But Hoiberg stepped up and fell on the sword. As any good leader would. Bad leaders make excuses, push agendas with obscure numbers, and whine like petulant children.

A 9 seed in the elite 8? Did not see that. I have noticed that the closer we get, it seems the teams are performing better than they do in regular season.

he has NEVER accidentally put 4 guys out on the court in the final seconds of a crucial NCAA Touranment game that was still up in the air....you gotta give him that! lol Unbelievable that a coach like Hoiberg did that. Simply unbelievable.
That’s a high bar there.

Golden telling his team to foul up 2 was pretty dumb as well considering they ended up hitting a wide open 3.

Miller taking his big guy out on the final play and losing on a tip in was another horrible coaching decision in retrospect.

Gen Z are digitally smart but Most are to wrapped into themselves that it’s hard to understand Mark Popes love of us, the BBN. So in reality all the crying, bitching, about players and
pope Is a waste. So get on with your life, start paying your student loans and plan your next move. Or out of your parents basement whichever requires less effort.

Pope can top hat. He put 6 on the court and dodged a technical.

well he hasn’t coached in a “crucial” ncaa game to have done so.
