Even Mash knows and isn’t afraid to call out our faults and concerns, if he’s asking on a national show then makes me wonder what all is being said behind the scenes. Mash was that first stud I remember since Kenny walker and would love for him to be part of the administration or more involved with UK basketball side of things.

You can tell from several comments he has made that he is concerned about the direction of the program. That should be an indication to everyone that something is bad wrong. If it was just a little off he wouldn't be saying anything just chalking it up to bad luck.

VERY interesting from Mash , I was going to make a thread but this one was already up, I thought it was significant that Mash even phrased the question that way or brought it up at all, KY HAS A PROBLEM , WHAT IS THE FIX ? Thats kinda damning by just asking that . Anyway what I found more profound was the was Sir Charles measured his words VERY carefully , you could see him thinking " how much can I say right now " as he seemed surprised by the question. Then politely dodges any answer whatsoever . And IMO he had an answer , he respects us 100% , he's followed us , he had an opinion and chose not to offer it .. that screams " Coaching issue " to me because he bit his tongue and didnt want to embarrass Coach Pope . Charles AWLAYS has an opinion . He's super smart and his takes are usually spot on , but he didnt answer Mash at all, didnt even hint around a answer .

If he didn't have a filter in his brain the answer would have definitely been POPE

I seriously doubt Charles follows CBB enough to have an opinion on Mark Pope.

That’s why he avoided answering the question and just said the one thing he’s always known about UK ever since his Auburn days: UK sure does have a ton of crazy dedicated fans! That’s always been his fallback answer whenever someone asks him about UK.

I don't even know how you could have that opinion. Mashburn was not asking to find out. He already knows and he has probably discussed it with Charles already. He just wanted to get it out there. Plus he didn't ask if he thought something was wrong with UK. He said something was wrong which is an indication he already knows what is the problem.
