….Tom Leach? That’s unacceptable.

Starting to think Pope is another ”religious“ phony. Tons of those people.

Tom does nothing but lob soft balls up, and Pope is going to be a dick?

Screw him.

When someone seems to be too nice, and too good to be true at first, they almost always are.

I doubt Pope would give Cameron the same answers.

Q “What did you tell the locker room after the game?” A - “A lot of things” Q “What needs to be better in the future?” A - “That’s a long list” Q - What are specific things to take away from this game?” A - “Not a lot from this game. We need to play harder”

That's it. Verbatim.

I....have no words.

That's Cal level bs.

I don't think it's purposeful, but Pope's postgame interactions with Leach have felt disrespectful on multiple occasions after a loss. It's not Leach's fault and Pope needs to put his big boy pants on and stop coming across as either entitled or emotionally immature.

He should be pissed. I'll give him a pass for even doing the press after that kind of showing. One thing I always agreed with Bobby Knight on, "show me a good loser and I'll show you someone that's good at it".

I dunno man. Pope hates losing but he's getting damn good at it to.

Today was disrespectful. Tom has been here almost 30 years doing football, and about 25 doing basketball. He’s respected by everyone for his professionalism.

In fact, Tom is way too nice in his postgame interview, but, somehow, Pope was still disrespectful.

I didn't hear it personally. But if that text is accurate I don't really see that as disrespectful. Yes the answers were brief and not very insightful but I wouldn't call that disrespectful.

Wait...that's it? What the Hell are you whining about dude? First, Popes team just got their *** handed to them. You catch even the nicest coach right after that and I have seen a heck of a lot worse. And Leach gets paid good money and has done this a long time, I am sure he has his big boy undies on.

Here is what is funny as Hell to me...you reposted that rather tame exchange as being "unfair and disrespectful to Leach". How about I put together a compilation of some of your worst comments about Pope and compare them side by side?

Highly disagree. If that's all you have to say to Leech and the fan base after yet another ***-kicking it's disrespectful.

I'm not paid millions to win basketball games either. I'm not a paid representative of UK

Just because Leech can take it doesn't mean its right to do it.

You know what? Get muted. You're allowed to ***** and whine about others but we can't?

Nah. That's not an even playing field.
