Actually 2024 was a record breaking year but you’d have to be knowledgeable about the game to know that. 🤣🤣🤣
Define "record breaking year". If you wish to argue, then present a concrete point. I bet you thought it was yuge, didn't ya Mr Laugh At Your Own Nonsense.

I’m confused. What happened in 2024 and why are things going to be so great next season? Did he say this to you before? You know what he’s talking about?

It's not time for it. He's not an alcoholic, doesn't lock players in stalls or hit on the girls around campus. He'll be here a third year, everyone will be watching to see whether he makes wholesale changes to his staff and roster, and ditches the analytics.
So you want him to be a complete different person in year 3? That should work out great

Where did you get "completely different person"? Make big changes to your staff and roster, and spending more time coaching and developing players than squinting and making mental notes for the second half, is unreasonable.

No coach anywhere in college basketball is going to ditch analytics. Best forget that.

Jon Scheyer
Dan Hurley
Dusty May
Kelvin Sampson
Todd Golden
Nate Oats

Name your top coach, they are all using analytics. The only two coaches that I can think of that don’t use them regularly and still performing at a reasonably high level is Calipari and Izzo.

One of my least favorite things about Pope is that he blames his worst decisions on analytics. When he says it, it makes no sense. Don’t believe me? Ask JonathanW2 if a single half of a basketball game offers enough stats to perform a full data analysis. The answer is no, it’s a tiny sample size and not enough to make reliable assumptions. Pope says that stuff and it’s kind of annoying but I’m still with coach Pope.

Stop relying on analytics. That's him. If he wins it will be the exact way he's coached the past 2 years. If we had a pg this year that could move with the ball early on I believe we would have around 5 losses right now. So I think it's possible for him to win

We've reach this point where people blame analytics for nearly everything.
All coaches use analytics.

As such, it's effects is mitigated.

And at the end of the day, the talent on the court still determines what type of season a team has.

I find this notion of "well Pope uses analytics too much and that's why we aren't where we should be" to be........well silly.
