Will have to be a different coaching staff

BYU '80

4/1/23 12:20pm

You could change them now and it’ll still take at least 3 seasons min

4/1/23 12:25pm

Could be year 10 with this staff and it still won’t happen

You are willing to give Pope 3 more seasons like the last two?

4/1/23 12:21pm

If you think that would propel BYU that’s funny.

4/1/23 12:26pm

Every year you wait recruiting gets harder and harder

4/1/23 12:27pm

And firing your coach means players like Wahlin and Chandler won’t come

puntersarepeople

4/1/23 12:36pm

Who did we beat out for Wahlin? It was UNM and UNR right?

4/1/23 12:38pm

No, SDSU and ASU

Do you think he is a future star? I see him as a Suanders level guy

4/1/23 5:46pm

If he is 6’9 225 like McCombs is reporting he certainly can be a star.

100% Agreed! Signed 2021 Iowa St Sweet 16 bball team

They had a first year coach that year didn’t they? Fired the previous guy?

4/1/23 12:59pm

The talent experience level are already going to be way better than last year

puntersarepeople

4/1/23 12:30pm

We will be lucky to see an increase in the talent level. We had 3 inexperienced

4/1/23 12:36pm

False. Experience level increases with our core group of returning players...

GG 27 starts FT 21 that is 48 FOR BYU

4/1/23 1:21pm

Forgot another 3 for AAA his freshman year and 8 from JR

4/1/23 1:23pm

we didn’t return Rudi or Waterman this past season. They both were new to BYU.

So it wasn’t inexperience it was continuity?

I've spent time recruiting and building a roster, developing talent and ...

What did Pope do with guys who could’ve been seniors this year?

4/2/23 1:17pm

Sure it does. Literally the first team i looked at did it...

icecougar

4/4/23 11:28pm

No ill give him 3 more seasons that show his young core group of players ...

icecougar

4/1/23 12:53pm

In 3 years the young core would all have graduated

4/1/23 1:00pm

Maybe not 3 years, could be 2. Look at this years Princeton team...

icecougar

4/1/23 1:19pm

Agree, Pope definitely deserves another 3 years imo. At least as long as his

I am a big fan of Coach Pope. Most of the basketball team's shortcomings are

4/1/23 5:13pm

Results matter. He goes 5 years without making an NCAA tournament

4/1/23 5:42pm

Some people have mentioned Mark Madson as a possibility. He is the only other

For most schools it takes time to build a winner, unless you’re Duke…

A great coach will be fine. Either Pope rights the ship, or he's not a great

We’ve all known it’ll be a rough transition, but I think we’ll compete and hold

Huggins is great - but it's the natural position for last place coach to take

Bring it on!
