Saw on ksr+ where JQs camp isnt happy with how things have gone so far
Personally if jq transfers or sits our pope should be fired on the spot

Jqs camp not happy 😬

He had the worst + - of the entire team. We never should of signed him
Jasper Johnson will likely walk as well, this is going to get ugly I'm afraid off-season.
Shut it down, Jayden. Pope sucks.
Hot take: I don’t blame them…they are not wrong.
There were several times tody when JQ tried to get into a pick and roll but they never passed him the ball. That's not his fault.
Not happy with what? His limited minutes? Or that they're not running the offense through him more?
Pope won't be fired after this season regardless of pretty much anything. He'd have to commit a crime or have some all-time PR Blunder (Michigan football coach type stuff). And he just seems too clean for any of that.
Our best hope is he truly cares about this like he says he does and retires out of shame/realizing he's not up for the job.
If you read the game chat we weren’t happy with how he’s being used. We are just fans. Why would JQs camp be happy. This is a train wreck
I just don't think anyone respects Pope as a coach. To be fair, he hasn't done anything in his career to earn that respect.
Is there any camp that is happy on this team? If so, why?

That was without Sherrill and Bol Bowen.
JQ has nobody to blame but himself for his performance today.
He got manhandled on a couple of rebounds that came right to him.
I don't blame them. Just start the kid. He didn't even get 25 minutes today (24 I know but still). Yeah he stunk today, but you'll have to live with days like that while he gets back in a rhythm. Also, and maybe I'm wrong, but didn't JQ's dad say Pope sold him on the Amari Williams role? I have yet to see that.
Their big subs played better than our starters did. If that’s true JQs camp has to tell it all not just one side of it. That is a problem NO coach wants, JQ is working his way back and has to have time to fit in this offense. His offense and his defense was lacking today, truth be told. I don’t even want to hear that sh—. Pope is not getting fired this year, I’m not happy either but it is what it is right now.
I’d say the Chandlers are fairly happy.
Do you blame them? This is a disaster! Pope has No clue what to do!
JQ must of had a HUGE adrenaline rush that first game back.
JQ was a huge disappointment today camp or no camp
Mark Pope teams are historically soft. They played soft today. Idk what it takes for people to see that issue
Alabama was a donut hole to start with. Then they get 2 bigs hurt. Yet we don't pound it inside? I would be pissed too if I'm the best post player in college basketball and you don't use me against a donut hole.
Pope definitely seems to have loyalty to Chandler.
If we miss the tournament maybe JQ and pope can lead us to a national chess championship
I mean, there was 5 times within a 3 minute stretch that JQ did a nice pick and roll to the basket and not one player, Lowe/Oweh looked at him for a an easy quick bucket. Instead we dribbled the ball and played hero ball.
This is on Pope.
Oates pulled guys many times this game for not doing what he wants.
Pope has yet to do that. He did it once for BG and then has regressed back to not do that again.

He has some talent, no doubt. But he has no help. He's not a back to the basket scorer and Pope doesn't know how to properly utilize one, I don't think. I believe Pope expected Quaintance to catch the ball and drive, catch lobs, or rebound and dunk. All of this depends on guys making shots, which we don't have. I sure hate it, with a passion, but this team is not good. Gotta make some threes. This might be our worst shooting team of the 2000s. It's terrible. No need to sugar coat it.
This ain't no spelling bee
JQ camp being unhappy is out of context. We aren’t in jeopardy of him packing it in or anything of the sorts. Lots of people unhappy and changes need to be made. JQ is a competitor and wants to play, so obviously he wants more minutes and more than 2-4 minute spurts on the floor. I think every fan wants to see that as well, let him acclimate to the game and work off mistakes. I’ve known him for a better part of 2 years now and he has a great work ethic and an even better head on his shoulders.
I don't give a squirt what any kids "camp" thinks, especially after putting up 5 points and 6 rebounds.
JQ’s draft stock is falling faster than a fat kid on a teeter-totter
Yeah if you go to anybody on this team camp behind the scenes I doubt anyone is happy lol
That’s because he’s not a big time basketball coach. His players don’t respect him so he can’t bench guys like that. He knows he can’t replace them with better guys.
You saw what I saw yet a few people have criticized his offense in here .
He is dependent on somebody passing him the ball and that’s not happening . Don’t see how that is his fault
Like JQ as a prospect but he got dogwalked today by a dude Nate Oats tries not to play lol
Oweh too. Putting up numbers cashing mega NIL with a team so bad the pressure is coming off
I just don’t get it. Pope showed last season that he can coach with a much less talented team than this one.
Yeah, but we didn’t play to his strengths. I already knew how raw JQ was offensively, and no I don’t want to play through him in the post. We could have extended our defense, stayed home on shooters and let JQ’s defensive gravity make Bama drives difficult. We didn’t because Pope will coach calculus when the situation demands simple addition.
