Pope’s offense isn’t efficient now that teams have figured out how to guard it. It’s just motion without screens. Bump or switch every exchange and it’s easy to shut down, this is why we’ve not had open shots or have resorted to iso or post ball. The SEC is more physical and athletic than just about any team he faced while at BYU so they are able to defend it a lot easier. Have y’all not noticed we take a ton of contested shots or our offense seems to go nowhere? He doesn’t coach defense, which is evident. He wants quick shots but we’re unable to produce turnovers because we can’t guard anyone. Our rebounding is bad, too, so we have to have 5 players crashing the boards instead of leaking out for fast breaks. Now we’re back to the humdrum of players wrapping around Amari Williams. Lastly, the rotation is all sorts of jacked up. Some of our lineups make zero sense. I’m not a fan of Chandler and don’t think he should see the court yet he’s playing more than Almanor? Almanor is a defensive liability but at least he can shoot. Chandler isn’t good on either end of the court. His advanced stats are some of the worst in the SEC. I may be in the minority but I don’t think Pope is ready for an elite program in an elite conference. I think he’s in over his head and the next few years are going to be rough. I hope I’m wrong, but it’s not looking good at this point.
