He belongs back at BYU.

Our defense is awful for a team that was built to play defense.

He doesn’t start his best players. Why?

We are softtttttt. We do not fight for rebounds or fight through screens.

We get behind in the first half against almost every P4 team we play. I’ve never seen anything like it.

Lol, BYU doesn't want him back. They got better when he left.

if this year continues like we're afraid it will, he'll come back for one more year, and unless next season is amazing, the AD, whoever that is (probably a JMI executive) will part ways.

He’s so far over his head. I honestly have no idea what we practice.

Basketball is a game of matchups and Chandler could not match up with either guard . One time in second half without him in Alabama missed seven straight threes all because a hand was in their face .
Kam Williams must start and play 30 minutes if this team has any chance .

Want him back? They upgraded their coach when Pope left! Also added the number one recruit in the country as icing on the cake. Maybe they would consider Pope in an assistant analyst role or as graduate student in his return to medical studies.

Barney can get away with mediocrity in football for 4-5 years but not basketball. Pope isn’t a jerk like BCG but not a good recruiter or coach. Have to change soon before we become IU
