Or construct a roster. You have to have athletic dudes to compete at a high level. He ain't it. He is a great ambassador for the university, but he shouldn't be the coach. He's in over his head. Look at his face on the sidelines. He looks totally befuddled. Hope I'm wrong.
Pope doesn't/can't teach defense

It's just crazy being a Pitino boy. But I agree, they are making shots because they are so open. Nothing else
I disagree that he cant construct a roster.. I totally agree with that he cant coach toughness, physicality, and defense. Hes a great offensive minded coach. This is what most of this site wanted lol
idk Cal’s teams were often dragged on here for being soft, especially the last 5 years .
I wont disagree with that! But Cal demanded heart and physicality! His teams up until the year after covid overwhelmed teams physically. Its an old school playbook in contrast to chucking up 3s!
You can recruit to fit that style. This bunch definitely ain’t nothin but soft
Just "pressing" isn't the answer. You have to know how to teach it and it has to be part of your personality. Pope is a thinker and "chess" player. He's Not a Dog
