Ok. Read what you just wrote and apply it to yourself. I never said UA was pre

premiere.

Rather, I compared UofA to BYU, it was an express and direct comparison to BYU. Coach Pope is BYU's coach and people are criticizing him for interviewing at UofA... a vastly superior basketball school by any metric.

Five of the last Nine NCAA tournaments UofA made it to the Sweet Sixteen. You discount that history because they haven't done much in last 3 NCAA tournaments?

U/A is a hot mess right now.

Of course, but Pope loves challenges.

Being offered $10M to coach is a great job.

Over how long. U/A was a great job while Lute Olson was there. It's not now.

U of A is offering 10 million? Nope. Sean Miller was making 2.4 million. Link:

I'm estimating a 4-5 yr contract, obviously not $10M a year lol

Okay, makes me feel a little better. I think Nick Saban is close to $10 million

U of A is one of the best jobs on the West Coast

That’s all fine. Much truth. But he’s diminished the many things he’s said

I admit I'm unfamiliar with Pope saying he will stay at BYU forever, link?

Nice try. He’s never said forever but if you haven’t heard his constant barrage

I would appreciate a link. Also would like to know if you think he was lying.

But he said all those same things about his vision for UVU and his role

Fact: A BYU player holds the single game scoring record at McKale Memorial

First 3 basketball schools in the west that come to my mind...UCLA, UofA, Zags

BYU won the NIT twice, and back when we won it, the NIT was more prestigious

You're hilarious! 2001? That's like saying BYU football is a premier destination

5 elite 8 appearances since then. 3 in last decade. BYU? 0

I made no claim about BYU being a better destination.

OldFogey

4/15/21 10:43pm

So? You did say UofA hasn’t been of consequence for years. 3 elite 8s in last

Yes, you're right on UA's last decade. I was wrong. But so are you in accusing
