Uh, you should take the hate as a compliment. It is a sign of respect.

He hasn't been given a DUI lately, so at least he has that going for him.

I think most of dislike of Bennett here is his in-game coach personna. Does not

Who are you fooling? He's probably top 2 on CB's most punchable faces across any sport.

He's a great coach and tactician. He's grumpy, ornery and irritable as a coach.

Much more likable than Mark Few, who is an attempted murderer and a cheater

He is a great coach. But he is very annoying.

When it comes to sports…you hate what beats you.

RalphWiggam

We'd like him more if he beat us less

I've heard him on a few podcasts. Much more likeable than I was expecting.

He turns most games into a rock fight that kills the flow and enjoyment factor

He's a lot more personable in interviews than he is at post-game hand-shakes

SinkingQuffa

Agree that he has been a basketball pioneer.

Us CBers don't like to let things go...i.e. Dellavedova hitting that half court

Wow - and that was a game he won.

RobAdams

8/11/22 4:12pm

Handshakes are such a silly thing to base it off of, Pope acts the same way

GlutealGuy

8/11/22 5:38pm

Wow didn’t know Deshawn Watson was on CB

That video of RB made me like him way more than before

JoeExotic

USU students are awful. Especially at the spectrum

provoprodigy

8/11/22 8:29pm

I don't recall the context there, but looks like the USU coach was the one out of line.

TheLoneCougar

8/12/22 10:08am

Context was it was a way dramatic ending with some questionable calls and some

westsidecoug

8/12/22 2:05pm

Again, in that clip looked like RB was fine shaking hands then the USU coach got all upiddy about something, pointing

TheLoneCougar

8/12/22 3:05pm

If you think storming off in the middle of the line with several other coaches

westsidecoug

8/12/22 4:05pm

Yes I know the RB antics well. I just didn't see how that clip points to him instigating that weird exchange.

To get the full cougarboard effect, you need to check the site during a game.

A lot of the smc jokes are they seldom leave there own county during preseason.

gmoney7

He's a tough coach. I respect him.

gocougs719

8/11/22 4:30pm

I can believe this for sure. CB is prone to hyperbole and unsubstantiated rumors

BlooCoog

8/11/22 4:42pm

I’ve always seen claims of this on CB about CB but those claims appear to be greatly exaggerated and unsupported.

Unibro

Some fans don't like his on court antics but most real fans acknowledge his

I've never understood why people don't like him. I think

I'm grateful that at the end of this season, I'll never think of him again. sayanora WCC!

Modernday Bobby Knight - great coach, but acts like a jerk, poor loser, whiner.

BYUfan92

8/11/22 5:36pm

Not even comparable IMO

UMWolverine

8/11/22 5:48pm

You thought Knight was likeable? Or Bennett is?

BYUfan92

8/11/22 7:42pm

Likable is irrelevant since I don’t know either man personally. Just thought

UMWolverine

8/11/22 9:24pm

Its all about the handshake

bad84cougar

8/11/22 5:38pm

Bennett is a first class coach & has exceptional loyalty from his players. Those here who don't like him don't know him.

roseyscenario

8/11/22 6:00pm

Nobody on here knows him.

OldFogey

8/11/22 6:46pm

Comes off as a poor loser and a top level whiner.

yahtzee

8/11/22 7:28pm

I don’t get the issue. He is a poor sport

Vegasjohn

8/11/22 8:09pm

You're surprised people don't like a poor sport?

yahtzee

8/11/22 10:29pm

Poor sport?

clocker

8/13/22 8:53am

So you admit that he comes off a certain way after losing a game but then

yahtzee

8/13/22 10:46am

Bennett is a professional's professional.

clocker

8/13/22 5:17pm

I didn't say if he's a good guy or not.

Plenty of HCs (including Pope & Rose) hand some TOs entirely to the staff

SinkingQuffa

What Bennett and Few have done in their league is incredible.

clocker

8/11/22 9:19pm

I wasn't aware of his charitable work with Pope. Thanks for sharing.

Real Men Wear Blue

Personally hate his bald head and sweater combo, that should be an automatic T
