Very few things made me more disappointed in our coach than BCG forcing Jasper to play before he was ready to return. It was despicable. I expect and hope Pope has enough morals to not do the same to JQ to save his job.
Pope better not "Derrick Jasper" Jayden Quaintance.

I doubt you’ll have to worry about that. He doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who does that kind of thing, If anything Pope is too cautious.
Pope has done some things wrong this season, but that’s one thing I don’t think we have anything to worry about. Popes a good guy and actually has morals, unlike BCG.
Keep dreaming OP, if anything, Pope will do the EXACT OPPOSITE! If JQ does play, and I give it a 25% chance, the first time he accidentally farts and it makes a sound, JQ will be done for the season!
Actually, I’m expecting the “minor set back” card to be played any day now. Because it’s coming!

Uh, it’s very simple. When the Doctor clears him to play, then he plays. Has nothing to do with the coach.
Like Kriisa and Wheeler?
Yeah, I can definitely see that happening. Or the he’s now playing 7 on 7 in practice. It’s any day now in February.
All JQ needs is some positive 1st round guarantee. If he has a stretch of 3 or 4 good games, I'm fully expecting some phantom "lingering" issue that will require a full shutdown until the draft. Pope is no different than Calipari in regard to letting guys "choose their own injury adventure." We saw that with Kriisa last year. Dude came back and could have helped UK make a run. Pope allowed him to sit out in order to have a redshirt year and keep Kerr's mercenary/shite career going another season.
Yea always felt like that. Wish someone would ask Pope that question. Could Krissa have played last year? I always thought he just wanted another year like you said. I mean he’s not sniffing the league or overseas.
Exactly.
Pope got a pass for kriisa for whatever reason. We needed another PG in March and dude could have played and didn't. Same with Wheeler ad a backup pg n March. Our guys were gassed at end of kstate game and that midget didn't play to help spell our guys.
Anyone who’s followed UK hoops over the years should know it’s not always that “simple”. Players sometimes continue to sit out games even after receiving medical clearance.
In fact, it’s even been known to happen when there’s no injury at all (see Shaeden Sharpe).
