in March. Those mid-major coaches that make a run to the S16, or p5 coaches that unexpectedly win their conference tournament and advance a game or two in the dance. I've never seen a coach with ZERO March Madness wins get stolen to another school.

Interesting because some still behind coach Pope use the opposite argument.

I think you’re conflating criticism with calling for him to be removed. I bet

As long as Pope wants to be the coach next year, he's going to be the coach

Pope is probably the best coach BYU can get.

Crazy to even consider replacing Coach Pope, he's the best there is -

Those who wanted Coach Tuiaki to stay are probably the same ones calling for

IDK... Seems like the people defending Tuiaki are defending Pope. The excuses

If you believe BYU BB has regressed over Popes tenure in the WCC why would you

If he's not cutting it then why keep him?

If you're not cutting it as a fan, why keep you as a fan?

I agree, but entering the B12 on a serious downward trajectory with no

We bring in the highest-rated LDS recruit since Jabari Parker in two seasons

In my mind, and we may disagree, landing Chandler is a huge W, but not momentum

I disagree w ya. And it's not just about Chandler. But

No doubt the usual challenge of two years until you see a player and likely 4

Agreed. Pope definitely needs more scorers & bigs.

Fans calling & yearning for Pope's demise generally have unstated agendas

I agree. I think that Covid canceled squad would have been dangerous.. BUT
