Tim LaComb chimes in on KY’s work so far.

So are Tim's days of recruiting for team yewt — outa spite — forever in the rearview?

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 6:23pm

He does Jazz games these days and always speaks highly of BYU

Carnac

May 21, 6:24pm

And he's got my blessings on that. I did appreciate his encouraging tweets for the team last season.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 6:26pm

and maybe he just calls it as he sees it

The coach who didn’t retain him is gone so I’d assume he’s over it.

Tim was public enemy #1 to BYU for more than a couple seasons.

SinkingQuffa

Pope coulda used Nashif’s inbounding plays

puntersarepeople

May 21, 6:32pm

Nashif was let go a year or two before Pope even arrived if I remember right.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 6:34pm

You’re probably correct, I remember the same

puntersarepeople

May 21, 6:36pm

Pope had some good ones. Here's a sweet BLOB play during the OOC schedule..

icecougar

I didn’t say anything about him deserving to be retained.

rivercitycoug

May 21, 6:40pm

Tim has crazy stories about Majerus and the U and I’ve heard some of them. He’s

Ray Shoesmith

May 21, 8:06pm

Or maybe it says a lot about Pope and not the number of other people…

ochobeeguy

You mean the staff that actually won a tournament game?

AZ Coug

May 21, 9:27pm

But couldn't even beat SMC Elijah's Jr season. Quite possibly the most-talented BYU team since Danny Ainge's teams.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 9:33pm

Yet they won in the tournament, which Pope hasn't done once in 10 years as a HC

AZ Coug

May 21, 9:42pm

You mean Pope's 5 years, right? As for Elijah winning an NCAA tourney game? Dude, where have you been???

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 9:50pm

Pope first became a HC in 2015. Never won a tournament game at either school.

AZ Coug

May 21, 9:59pm

2019-20. Just stop, man. And let google be your friend for a bit.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 10:03pm

He wasn't the HC at UVU 2015 - 2019? You should tell him that.

AZ Coug

May 21, 10:10pm

So UVU is supposed to win an NCAA tourney game, huh? Good-hades, brother...

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 10:16pm

Pope himself said they had a "phenomenal" team with "amaaaaazing" players

AZ Coug

May 21, 10:18pm

Enthusiasm is not the problem

He was at the KY hiring conference

Dr T-bone

May 21, 6:26pm

Connections he probably made sure leaned AWAY from BYU — as much as he could influence them.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 6:36pm

Stop. You sound ridiculous

Ray Shoesmith

May 21, 8:07pm

Hope so! Tim is a great guy! Go Cougs!

baishel44

May 21, 6:35pm

I hope so, too. We all have our dark sides & struggles, & Pope was surely no angel either.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 6:42pm

So I take it that he didn’t like Pope

palangi

May 21, 6:54pm

There was definitely some nastiness going on between Pope & the previous staff (Rose included).

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 6:58pm

Because he’s a blowhard?

BYU '80

May 21, 7:32pm

Pope proved himself as a coach at levels Tim could never come close to touching. It's too bad as good a coach as Tim

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 7:38pm

Where did LaComb say otherwise. Why are there so many coaches and players

BYU '80

May 21, 7:42pm

He didn’t. Stinking Opinion is up in the night

Ray Shoesmith

May 21, 8:09pm

Tim's social media was very poisonous for a time (I believe he later wiped it)... but ultimately for Tim

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 8:21pm

Yeah BYU and the program is bigger than you, sometimes former players/coaches

palangi

May 21, 8:47pm

Or face the criticism of fans, for sure. It's no coincidence that many of Tim's defenders here are also Pope-haters.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 9:12pm

Criddle called it out on his show today too. This isn't a SinkingQuffa thing. Where this is smoke, there is fire.

TheLoneCougar

May 21, 8:46pm

Bravo for Criddler.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 9:13pm

Pope didn't prove himself. He had no actual success, and his incompetency in

wildeone

May 21, 8:03pm

Nice indirect on pope.

Idacoug

May 21, 7:21pm

I'm gonna give Tim the benefit of the doubt & presume his pettiness has run its course after 5 long years.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 7:34pm

So it’s all on Tim and none on Pope. At least you’re consistent

BYU '80

May 21, 7:43pm

Actually I said otherwise in this very thread. And implied otherwise in the post I just sent you. Pope is no angel.

SinkingQuffa

May 21, 7:48pm

Clown comments for days…

Ray Shoesmith

May 21, 8:10pm

I think he might be Pope's loser brother-in-law

AZ Coug

May 21, 9:17pm

Never met Mark Pope in my life. Met his wife very briefly once.
