Pope is finding out what Matt Doherty found out at North Carolina* losing is not an option. You can be a beloved former player at your Alma mater but you canāt spend millions building your roster and lose as the coach at Kentucky, Not here!
Depends on Mitch, lol.How much longer is Pope under contract?
I do too to a degree. They're not hurting financially though and regardless of what other fans say, Pope knew what he was signing up for.I actually do feel sorry for his family. There have been a few times this year when they looked like they were ready for it to be over.
Screw that. He signed up for it, at a very nice price. I feel bad for the fans. Piss on the incompetent coach making $5M plus.Coming off the break, I was hoping there be some changes but same old stuff. Clearly in over his head. I hate that Pope is in this situation because his legacy at UK will be shot. People need to lose jobs over this performance.
I hate it more for myself and other UK fans that don't have millions of dollars to make themselves feel better.Coming off the break, I was hoping there be some changes but same old stuff. Clearly in over his head. I hate that Pope is in this situation because his legacy at UK will be shot. People need to lose jobs over this performance.
Exactly. We care but our hands are tied. Pope is over complicating the game. Just how he over emphasizes or uses certain words repeatedly. It's basketball not brain surgery.I do hate it for him, but I hate it more for us.
Apparently, so would Tom LeachI'd like to hear from Pope what the actual preparation looked like.
We know what Alabama is. They're going to shoot 100 3's. And with 10 days between games, we weren't ready for that. Guys are going under screens. Guys are losing shooters. Guys are letting shooters catch the ball with space and WAITING to close out until they're in the air shooting the ball.
We're 35 minutes in the game and Alabama is STILL getting wide open shot after wide open shot. Pope has no plan. No answer.
