The Never-ending College basketball season thread

Neither Hurley or Oats were ever going so I had no worries there. This a 5-10 hire at best. I'm happy.

 

He’s a good coach, but that’s what you come up with less than 72 hours after Cal bails? They better get NIL cranked up.

 

This guy needs to go to Vegas.

He is an OK coach at best. Record speaks for itself.

 

Listening to Matt Jones right now. It’s glorious

 

A quick glance at what he's done at BYU, and this looks like it would be a terrible hire. His best post run was to the NIT quarterfinals.

He did lose to a double digit seed in the first round of the NCAA tournament both times he made it, so I understand why he was on Kentucky's radar.

 

Maybe when Barnes leaves we can get Jenis Grindstaff

“When pastor Scott said no Mitch couldn’t handle it. When the lady you always planned to take to prom won’t go with you, sometimes u just have to settle for taking your cousin and hoping your classmates don’t know.”

 

I hope he is even worse than they think

 

Oh I absolutely do too, I just don’t think he is

 

I am really enjoying this Kentucky fan meltdown

 

They've become self aware.

This was nice. Like even after the Rothstein tweet they were still talking about having a chance with Hurley because that plane was still in New York. And the fact that most of them were disgusted with hiring Scott Drew and celebrated when he turned them down. And then they agreed that just because Pope was a candidate didn’t mean he was actually being considered. Really reminiscent of some of our absolutely awful football searches. Just perfect. Everything tied up neatly with a bow.

 

They are about to kill one another lol

 

Wow, this is fulfilling prophecy:

 

That is damn eerie.

 

When you reach the keep it in the family point, you are in trouble.

 

Huh.

Pope’s teams finished ahead of Cals in the KenPom 3 of Popes 5 years as a head coach.

 

I don’t think he’s Kenny Payne but his resume isn’t particularly remarkable to me
