He is a master at giving the game away. We were up big isu had nothing and pope goes with a line up with zero ball handlers. If someone says Aberdeen is tired well that’s on pope too. And you’re not making the nba gassed early in a game. Back to the problem though. We were up big ISU was done. I have never seen a guy like pope where every game he is going to give up a big untimely run. In this case we had the boot to the throat and the guy goes to the bench way too long and it just isn’t just taking Aberdeen out it’s also trying to play at a wild pace with no one to run the team. This game was done pope gave it to isu. He let them back in it. He dint pick up this habit from Pitino. We ll see how it turns out but that alone should make all our fans pissed or want to cry.
Mark Pope

Thinks he’s smarter than the game and why he needs to be gone before the team bus heads back to Lexington
Agreed, but the OP's not wrong.lets revisit in another hour or so
Terrible game management over the last 11 minutes of the half.
We had them buried. They had no belief. They had 6 points and pope decides to rest our only pg for way too long and with him out isu got back into it. This has happened all season but this game is different. Isu wo their best player had very low confidence. Mentally they didn’t believe. That will go down as one of the most boneheaded coaching moves ever. Pope is way over his head. An hr whatever. Heck we might get lucky but the bottom line is we could have finished them off.lets revisit in another hour or so
He needs to be a doctor then, not a coach
He's the best coach I've ever seen for switching the momentum, right when it's in Kentucky's favor. He can't stand it. He has to put in Jasper,..or whomever. Something compels him to do it and give "our" momentum back to the other team. He's terrified one of our good players is going to "get tired". Worst coach I've ever seen. We have to win in spite of Pope's bonehead moves. Sad.
Horrible in game coaching. No adjustments for the double team. Guys standing in the corner and not coming to the ball. Substitutions as always took away our momentum. Jasper cost us 5 points in less than a minute.
Pope is the worst UK coach ever. Continuing to play Moreno in this do or die game is insane. Especially with how BG has been playing.
Him clapping while fouls are mounting up is just sad.
Playing Jasper even 5 seconds should get him fired.
This team hasn't had intensity all year. They get down huge amounts, if they do get a lead they immediately relax and give it away.
GET MARK POPE OUT OF LEXINGTON!

GET MARK POPE OUT OF LEXINGTON!
One of the worst coaching performances of all time
I don’t know if I can watch another season with pope. May need to take a hiatus if he’s back next year
Screw that. Don’t even let him in the damn plane. Let his sorry *** walk back
This is all without their best player by the way. Wonder what that roster costs?
But but Cody Feegtwerp’s tablet told him to put Jasper in!
I swear to God the other day when Oweh hit that shot and there was a picture of the bench and Feeger was holding his tablet I was like… this staff is a joke.

I don’t have a huge problem with trying grab a 3 minute blow each half….the reality I’d jasper has fallen apart, Lowe is hurt end pope was an idiot for having not a backup PG
But if you want to see why Pope isn’t up for the task../look at his awful adjust to Iowa st pressure. No clearing rhe lane , no back cuts , nothing. Just getting your *** handed to you and we sit there and can’t get into a set for 3/4 I’d game

I’m sorry to all who wanted this we all did. But you have to wake up. Mark is a horrible coach.
Pope is trash. But refs didn’t help today. Combing pope being a horrible coach and refs, it’s over
If Mark Pope had any respect for this program he would resign after this game. Laughable. Clappy the clown
Mark Pope is a TOTAL JOKE and is in waaayyy over his damn head! Do yall really love this mediocrity? I’m effin sick and tired of it and I say WE FIRE HIS ARSE NOW!!!!
Such a great idea after being up double digits to put in a guard who didn’t even play last game and barely has played all year. Against a super physical defense when he’s already prone to turnovers.
The clear difference between a well coached team and a poorly coached team. I can barely watch the rest of this game.
Sadly a lot of the Pope guys will defend jt because we beat santa clara lol
You are a joke. It’s literally year one in a total rebuild. Popes first season was a scramble to even assemble a team. Cal left the place on fire.
Down 20. Another turnover. Pope clapping positivity. Its just unbearable. I like pope i do he seems like a good dude but he is no where acceptable to coach at this level. Its disheartening .
