- Pope re-installed a serious practice regime, film time, fitness training and more, Rose had gotten very lax on almost all these
- Pope's assistants are far better than Rose's the last couple of years
- Agree Pope's persona is infectious if you have been around him
- Huge emphasis on defense
- Way more disciplined offensive system, emphasizing movement until someone has a good shot - no run and gun
- Huge on analytics and data
- Really focuses on teams weaknesses and develops ways to address them or compensate, he touched on this in last night's courtside interview
- Pope is the real deal, I am very bullish on the program's future. Will be interesting to see if he can keep his assistants
