Love what I am seeing for Kevin Young. Doesn't need fanfare or hype. Doesn't float what he is doing to the media. Just literally does his job. Putting some nice talent together next year in Provo.

Tim LaComb chimes in on KY’s work so far.

So are Tim's days of recruiting for team yewt — outa spite — forever in the rearview?

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 6:23pm

He does Jazz games these days and always speaks highly of BYU

Carnac

May 21, 6:24pm

And he's got my blessings on that. I did appreciate his encouraging tweets for the team last season.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 6:26pm

and maybe he just calls it as he sees it

Belboz

The coach who didn’t retain him is gone so I’d assume he’s over it.

rivercitycoug

Tim was public enemy #1 to BYU for more than a couple seasons.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 6:29pm

Pope coulda used Nashif’s inbounding plays

puntersarepeople

May 21, 6:32pm

Nashif was let go a year or two before Pope even arrived if I remember right.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 6:34pm

You’re probably correct, I remember the same

puntersarepeople

May 21, 6:36pm

Pope had some good ones. Here's a sweet BLOB play during the OOC schedule..

icecougar

May 21, 7:01pm

I didn’t say anything about him deserving to be retained.

rivercitycoug

May 21, 6:40pm

Tim has crazy stories about Majerus and the U and I’ve heard some of them. He’s

Ray Shoesmith

May 21, 8:06pm

Or maybe it says a lot about Pope and not the number of other people…

ochobeeguy

May 21, 8:20pm

You mean the staff that actually won a tournament game?

AZ Coug

May 21, 9:27pm

But couldn't even beat SMC Elijah's Jr season. Quite possibly the most-talented BYU team since Danny Ainge's teams.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 9:33pm

Yet they won in the tournament, which Pope hasn't done once in 10 years as a HC

AZ Coug

May 21, 9:42pm

You mean Pope's 5 years, right? As for Elijah winning an NCAA tourney game? Dude, where have you been???

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 9:50pm

Pope first became a HC in 2015. Never won a tournament game at either school.

AZ Coug

May 21, 9:59pm

2019-20. Just stop, man. And let google be your friend for a bit.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 10:03pm

He wasn't the HC at UVU 2015 - 2019? You should tell him that.

AZ Coug

May 21, 10:10pm

So UVU is supposed to win an NCAA tourney game, huh? Good-hades, brother...

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 10:16pm

Pope himself said they had a "phenomenal" team with "amaaaaazing" players

AZ Coug

May 21, 10:18pm

Enthusiasm is not the problem

He was at the KY hiring conference

Dr T-bone

May 21, 6:26pm

Connections he probably made sure leaned AWAY from BYU — as much as he could influence them.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 6:36pm

Stop. You sound ridiculous

Ray Shoesmith

May 21, 8:07pm

Hope so! Tim is a great guy! Go Cougs!

baishel44

May 21, 6:35pm

I hope so, too. We all have our dark sides & struggles, & Pope was surely no angel either.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 6:42pm

So I take it that he didn’t like Pope

palangi

May 21, 6:54pm

There was definitely some nastiness going on between Pope & the previous staff (Rose included).

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 6:58pm

Because he’s a blowhard?

BYU '80

May 21, 7:32pm

Pope proved himself as a coach at levels Tim could never come close to touching. It's too bad as good a coach as Tim

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 7:38pm

Where did LaComb say otherwise. Why are there so many coaches and players

BYU '80

May 21, 7:42pm

He didn’t. Stinking Opinion is up in the night

Ray Shoesmith

May 21, 8:09pm

Tim's social media was very poisonous for a time (I believe he later wiped it)... but ultimately for Tim

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 8:21pm

Yeah BYU and the program is bigger than you, sometimes former players/coaches

palangi

May 21, 8:47pm

Or face the criticism of fans, for sure. It's no coincidence that many of Tim's defenders here are also Pope-haters.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 9:12pm

Criddle called it out on his show today too. This isn't a SinkingQuffa thing. Where this is smoke, there is fire.

TheLoneCougar

May 21, 8:46pm

Bravo for Criddler.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 9:13pm

Pope didn't prove himself. He had no actual success, and his incompetency in

wildeone

May 21, 8:03pm

Nice indirect on pope.

Idacoug

May 21, 7:21pm

I'm gonna give Tim the benefit of the doubt & presume his pettiness has run its course after 5 long years.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 7:34pm

So it’s all on Tim and none on Pope. At least you’re consistent

BYU '80

May 21, 7:43pm

Actually I said otherwise in this very thread. And implied otherwise in the post I just sent you. Pope is no angel.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 7:48pm

Clown comments for days…

Ray Shoesmith

May 21, 8:10pm

I think he might be Pope's loser brother-in-law

AZ Coug

May 21, 9:17pm

Never met Mark Pope in my life. Met his wife very briefly once.
