Barkeep, another Mekong please
Young has to be able to choose his own staff. Don't force anyone on him. If he wants Burgess...I am sure he can get him

Jay Drew on Burgess as an assistant HC. Interesting.

Seems like a no brainer for both sides, if KY wants to bring him on. But if it

Weird that coaches didn’t want their guys to play for Pope when Pope’s players seem eager to follow him around.

It's dumb. Comes from Carlsens dad. BYU only offers 1 or 2 Utah kids per year,

I know for a fact that it wasn't just Carlsen's dad

Same here. I have no idea if it was justified, but def not the only one.

One hickup from Chandler and he will sit on Pope’s bench. Pope too ruthless

Local kids loved Burgess. Not so much with Pope. And it's not just Carslen's dad

Wait, Burgess is making 255K? That's less than some players, probably.

I’m just not buying all these little negative things I’m hearing about Pope

It's not just now coming out. This has been for a while.

The rumors had been out there for a couple years. I heard some of this myself, and not just from CB

Emery, Glover went public. Plenty of behind the scenes from BYU and UVU

What did Glover say? I have not heard

It is just who he is. He has goals and he wants to achieve them. He is a very driven individual and was great while here

What does that have to do with giving a shout out to the program that helped

Why do you bother to be personally upset by it?

When all you care about is #1, do you think you're going to give a shout out to your previous school?

I dunno. His postseason record alone makes him not great. Plus

Mark Durrant's take on this on BYU Sports Nation was very similar

That is how I take it too. I don't love how he treated us, but it shouldn't be that surprising.

Can’t be mad about any of it. We loved it when he did it to UVU. We would love

I’d say it’s a bad thing. I know lots of high achievers like Pope who are

I mean it seems like 3/4 of the people in the business world fit this

I’d say more like 30%, unless you’re in consulting, investment banking, private

I meant just me experience. Hopefully I’m just overly cynical.

I'm not disagreeing with you. My point is we've kinda known this is Pope. So set expectations accordingly.

No it is a bad thing. It’s classless

Pope will get the karma coming to him. Everybody that ruthless does

Karma for doing what wrong? Not saying thank you?
TheLoneCougar
Apr 17, 9:25am
To me, that’s the only thing he did wrong. Could’ve figured out a way to say
Alan Schaefer
Apr 17, 9:48am
I just don't think it is in his character. I honestly don't think he thinks BYU helped him at all. It was his hard work,
TheLoneCougar
Apr 17, 9:51am
Well I hope he’s not that arrogant or narcisstic. I will say I stopped listening
Alan Schaefer

I'd speculate that of the things he butted heads with the AD about was NIL

How much was BYU paying Burgess before he left?

Just pot stirring by Jay. I highly doubt there's ANY basis to this. Pope don't want Burgess on UK's staff & I doubt
