Having Barcello/Toolson instead of Li and Da Silva is huge. Crazy how much
better Pope has been about bringing in impact guys.

Completely agree that Pope is doing a great job, and that it was time for Rose

Rose had tons of talent, let's not kid ourselves here. Pope is an upgrade

Of course he's an upgrade, I said as much in my OP. Don't kid your own self

Rose definitely had talent. You act like they had nothing, but Rose for years

I did nothing to say or act like they had no talent. You're making that up. I

Let’s see how it plays out. Rose had sustained success. Owned the yewts.

in basketball BYU seems to have a history of new coaches making an upgrade

Agreed. Sometimes you just need to inject new energy into a program.

Hey! BYU beat Clemson!

So the fact those players are here because of Pope doesn’t matter?

And bringing in guys that Rose ran off, has really helped.

Wouldn't the fact that they're better be a compliment to Pope?

Not to mention we wouldn't have most of them if not for Pope.

Maybe some of it, maybe not all of it. Hard to dissect that, especially this

I think we've seen an upgrade in assistant coaches too.

This is possibly the biggest part right now. Pope have a lot of credit to them

These coaches have clearly had an affect on Lee & Nixon

I would add Seljaas to the list.

I haven't seen any improvement with Seljaas, & stats bear it out
Hinta

He seems like a much better defender and rebounder this year. That's all my

Pope is getting from his players a level of consistency and effort that we used

Yoeli has shown a willingness and ability to pass out of the post this year

I agree, but he was doing his job last year within the scheme

it's possible, we don't know for sure what was asked

We know if we just compared the offense they're running now compared to the last

I agree. For some reason, I think cooler heads (Rose) might have got us a win.

TJ Haws is the best evidence for me that Pope is good.
