We have a coach with 2nd half adjustments

Yes we do!!! Great job by the staff and players, it’s a great feeling to know we have a coach that’s willing to adjust.
This is what happens when you actually coach a game and not just roll the ball out.
He clearly told the team to attack the rim more, and it worked. Duke was gassed at the end, and our guys stepped up and made plays. I think we have ourselves a coach.
Pretty much I think this was our first champion's classic win since the fox/monk/bam team beat MSU. Cal really boned us for so many years.
Yep. Pope scouted Duke and knew that Duke's freshmen were poorly conditioned at this point in the season.
Can't tire them out just jacking up threes. Attack on offense and ratchet up the defense and you get what you saw at the end of the game. Brilliant halftime adjustments by Pope.
Amazing Coach.
So poised.
So intelligent.
So poised.
So intelligent.
Yes 100%. They were completely sucking wind at the end.
Pope schooled Scheyer in the coaching battle
The second half defensive intensity was a thing of beauty.
How good does this feel BBN!
I agree the gameplan changed, but it also helped that Maluach was out much of the 2nd half. In the first half, the KY guys were looking for him over their shoulders.
I sincerely hope Cal was in his Mcmansion watching this absolute coaching clinic unfolding on his 90” TV. This is what great coaches do…oh and by-the-way, the SEC just crapped their pants!
Cal would've lost that game by double digits guaranteed..
The game winning coaching move IMO was putting Carr in post and attacking the paint with him. He changed the game with that adjustment
Yeah, cause that was when Maluach was still in the game b/c Carr got the and-1 against him.
Carr stepped up immensely from the 1st half to the 2nd half
love how he talks to the team - he isn't a crazy maniac trying to use some dumb cliche', he just tells them what they need to hear
