I want to know how many of you who are upset with Pope were also upset with Trey

How did he respond ?

Dr MoBYU

He told Pope he wasn’t going into the game.

So now it's ok to tell coaches you aren't going into a game?

Who said that?

Only if you don’t like the coach. Haha! What a lame take!

Obviously I don’t know anything of what happened behind the scenes but…you should never deny your coach in a game.

I've always been a fan of Trey. I was a fan of Pope too. But not anymore.

But why would they "take (it) back? What does that even mean?

I like Trey too but not sure it helps him to drudge this story back up.

Facts: pope told Trey he’d be a key piece behind Hall, when Stewart held it

That really was weird. I thought maybe it was a team rules thing.

It’s even deeper than that.

I for one don't know why Trey didn't play more in the Duquesne game.
