Coach Pope you’re very driven by analytics. You have a career winning percentage of 63%. You’re winning around 63 or 64% of your games at Kentucky. Analytically speaking is it unfair to expect anything better of you?

That is the question I sent however, I don’t think they will ask it.

But, he’s doing slightly better than our last coach that most fans wanted gone.

I didn’t bring this up to be an AZZ or to support Cal. Pope lives and dies by analytics, coaches by analytics. I’m just attempting to make the point that per analytics and data. He shouldn’t be the coach. But, he is and each game we play. I just have to hope we can somehow win.

Is it too late for you to add. PS coach, shove your analytics up your ***.

His comment that he planned his entire offense for a left hand gaurd is the dumbest thing I've heard...as if he was going to play lowe 40 minutes
Hands down… The absolute, no question about it, most idiotic thing that I have EVER heard any coach, in any sport, at any level, say with a straight face! Period, and it’s not even close!

That statement made ANYTHING Clyde ever said, look like a Shakespeare quote!

The more he talks, the more he drives home the point that this job is just way too big for him.

It's really sad. Mitch screwed us over big time.
It really is too big for him. The pressure will mount and if, probably when we have another season of 12-14 losses next year it's going to be really ugly. I am still bewildered that he was even on the list at all by Mitch.

What difference does having a left handed PG make? That could be the dumbest assertion I've ever heard.

Well wasn't Jasper supposed to be the backup to Lowe in spot minutes? Because Jasper is also left handed.
Jasper was never a PG, not even in backup. His handles are worse than most bigs as he his extremely weak with the ball. It was comical watching pope insert him into the game against ISU. It wasn’t a matter of if he would turn the ball over rather when. It took one trip up the court before he just tripped and fell down, about 5 seconds of game time before he turned it over. No one was surprised except for pope perhaps.

I know he SHOULDN'T have been, but I'm pretty sure that was Pope's plan coming into the season.

In fairness, I don’t think you all understand analytics.
I think we understand it perfectly fine. It’s a tool to be used in aiding with decisions. Not a full on coaching philosophy that drives every decision made. Coaching takes gut instincts and the ability to adapt and adjust on the fly, none of which pope has demonstrated he can do. Personally I think pope is an idiot.

Again proving you don’t understand analytics.
