I know you wanted Cal gone, but you absolutely have to have someone lined up if you're going to do that And I feel there's a huge gap from the Hurley/Drew/Donovan pipe dreams to....Mark Pope. They could have done better
Guessing they wanted "a Kentucky guy" and he was the best available? Is there some more prestigious UK alum in the coaching ranks I'm not thinking of?
This hire is giving off major Mike Shula vibes sorry to spam this thread but I really, really hate UK basketball so I have to get my shots in when I can
looking forward to calling him mark poop after the cats get knocked out during the first weekend next year
Honestly now this Cal power play looks like one for the ages. Will he win big? Maybe/probably not but the big checks keep coming he’s removed this nut job fanbase from his life, and all the needless stress that comes with it and there is egg all over BBN’s face
He worded it poorly as it should say hiring a former player from the 90s to coach hoops works out well
the thing is that Pope is almost certainly a better X and O corch than Calipari. but that crazy ass fanbase is going to give him very little leeway.
