Beloved North Carolina player and became their HC. Lasted 3 years. Will Pope make it that far?
Mark Pope is our Matt Doherty
- Thread starter Possum
- Start date
Dare I say Bruce Pearl?
At this point, I’d take Roy himself. Anything’s better than losing by 20 to a Michigan State that can barely score 20 points. How old is Roy now? 86? Sure, I’ll take it
Nate Oats, you’re our only hope.
Yeah, he has no clue how to prep for a game
So far I believe it’s between Pope and Billy G on who was the worst defensive coach I’ve seen at UK
Great comparison although he is quickly becoming Kenny Payne.
We agree on something.
Thinking about it, maybe Frank Vogel is our Roy? He did win an NBA title while Roy was successful at Kansas.
Wow this is a great comparison and completely true.
Now that I see it, I can’t unsee it.

Am I the only one who thinks that Pope's coaching staff is a bunch of guys that no one else would even want? We also have several players that don't look to even be UK level talent. Unfortunately, both of those are a reflection of the coach. I really like Pope, so it's hard for me to even say that. Every bad game is making it more difficult for him in the future because he isn't a proven coach yet.
lol no. Pope didn’t lose to Gardner Webb and VMI
Only because he hasn't played them.
At least Matt Doherty could recruit. Pope can't even do that.
I hate it's not going the way it should because by all accounts coach is a standup guy, and undoubtedly loves the place.... But by his own admission this is Kentucky our standards are better than whatever the hell that was, and against Gtown, I can let the UL thing slide because they were out of their minds even though getting down 20 twice was quite concerning ....
He's gotta figure it out and he better be doing it fast. BBN dont play over basketball. The fans will just get increasingly more unsettled this is Kentucky, the premier basketball program in the country. That showing was embarrassing at best.

Yeah a sweet 16 and 5 games into season two. You guys are ridiculous. Just laughable.
I never thought I'd be jealous of the coach the team 90 miles west has.

I believe you were a Cal apologist too weren't ya?
It certainly feels like it the more time goes on. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that we keep getting our top options going elsewhere.
He seems very good at not losing to 300-ranked teams. But he’ll get blown out by any top 50 team depending on the game.
BCG would've constructed a better roster if you gave him 22 million to spend. Ignore the fact that 4 million would've been spent at the bar at the Merrick Inn.
4 of his players were key contributors in 2010, 2011, and 2012.
Our chances of being a 1 seed in 2010 or making the final 4 in 2011 become much more dubious if we lack Patterson in 2010 and Jorts, Liggins, and Miller in 2011.
He offered a 7th grader and a kid that barely scored 8 a game at Asbury. Homey would pissed 22 mil away on hookers and blow
Popes a push over. Gurantee Kelsey b smacked him outside of Kinneys home.
Strangely enough he also managed to convince Patterson and Orton to come here. That’s two more 5-stars than Pope has recruited when comparing their last 2 years.
This team could use some Billy Clyde as soft as they are. Kick their asses off the bus and make em walk.
Beware all the burners the athletic dept has on here.
It’s the only thing that makes sense
I think with a 22 million dollar roster that BCG could probably do a better job at this point.
