Or if you can admit the evidence was based on playing bad teams.

Seeing how Coach Pope has completely switched things up to compete in the Big 12

talent gets spread out way more in basketball than football. chemistry matters way more in basketball.

Like hire a new defensive staff?

Shinshin

12/27/23 12:48pm

Not a hard decision when Holmoe tells him to hire a new d staff or you are fired

kimdaddy35

12/27/23 12:53pm

Really? The same Holmoe that said hey, hire Detmer as OC for your first ever

I guess you missed a complete change in recruiting strategy this year

puntersarepeople

12/27/23 12:50pm

*A complete change in recruiters

kimdaddy35

12/27/23 12:50pm

Partially but offense was much more aggressive trying to flip guys

puntersarepeople

12/27/23 12:51pm

Seemed like business as usual from that side.

kimdaddy35

12/27/23 12:53pm

That’s because you don’t pay enough attention

puntersarepeople

12/27/23 12:55pm

I pay attention, but why do we care about almosts. Dart was an almost

stansburycoug

12/27/23 2:54pm

Because we're talking about strategy

puntersarepeople

12/27/23 3:59pm

No I get it, but I don't see any changes on offense. Largely see better coaches

stansburycoug

12/27/23 4:27pm

We've done that in the past. Maybe you haven't paid attention?

kimdaddy35

12/27/23 5:09pm

Remember how a month before the season everybody wanted Pope fired?

ordinary tri guy

12/27/23 12:51pm

Definitely not everyone.

kimdaddy35

12/27/23 12:54pm

I for one, NEVER wanted Pope fired.

A couple of thoughts: 1. I think the style of play we're seeing this year is

gwalker

12/27/23 12:52pm

Also worth noting that Kaplan’s got BYU to finally invest in assistant coaches

puntersarepeople

12/27/23 12:54pm

Just on the basketball style of play

MwangoleCoug9

12/27/23 1:15pm

Do you think this year's philosophies become part of BYU's (Pope's) identity?

teancum

If you had visited CB 6 months ago, you would've found all kinds of posts...

We'll see. 1. Kalani was undefeated entering B12 play. 2. If Pope has some

We had an odd win over Arkansas and looked poor in wins over Sam Houston

kimdaddy35

12/27/23 1:17pm

I’d wait til BB plays a few Big 12 games first. FB went undefeated in OOC and ended up being bad

byuTX

12/27/23 1:01pm

And with all of the same main players and coaches.

LeGrandBleu

12/27/23 1:33pm

You can feel that way, but Kalani has actually made significant changes

LoyalRoyalBlue

12/27/23 1:36pm

If Kalani didn't make the change in 2017, he never made it in some people's

Let's see how well we do vs Big12 teams first

RGGeemer

12/27/23 2:08pm

Way too early to make judgments like this. Let’s see how it actually goes in B12.

yapacoug

Coach Sitake won all of his games before conference season started, too.

KelloggCougar

12/27/23 2:20pm

We displayed issues in football before conference play.

Bert609

12/27/23 3:25pm

It’s odd it’s taken 6 yrs to figure out BYU has to shoot the 3 to compete. But

zerome4sooners

12/27/23 3:38pm

Football is much harder.

rockyrd

12/27/23 5:06pm

Lol nah.

KelloggCougar

12/27/23 5:17pm

In all fairness I think we need to see how we actually do in the Big 12.

Countcougula

12/27/23 5:48pm

To be fair, we have no evidence yet that the bball team can compete in the Big12

SlantRoute

12/27/23 5:56pm

No evidence?

kimdaddy35

12/27/23 6:40pm

We haven’t played any Big12 team in basketball yet.

SlantRoute

12/27/23 9:51pm

I think we have a whole lot of evidence.

kimdaddy35

12/28/23 12:56am

What’s the evidence?

SlantRoute

12/28/23 9:03am

You want to know what evidence we have that we can compete in the Big 12?

kimdaddy35

12/28/23 9:16am

Yep. Everything you pointed out is against non-Big12 teams.

SlantRoute

12/28/23 11:32am

I believe you are conflating evidence and proof.

kimdaddy35

12/28/23 11:44am

Evidence proves

SlantRoute

12/28/23 11:49am

The evidence is correct. How you interpret it might change but I'll be shocked

kimdaddy35

12/28/23 11:54am

Like I said. I know basketball

SlantRoute

1/6/24 9:50pm

No.

kimdaddy35

1/6/24 9:56pm

The evidence from tonight is compelling

SlantRoute

1/6/24 10:48pm

Kindaddy, you doubling down or ready to admit your evidence was based on playing weak teams.

SlantRoute

1/9/24 8:58pm

Anyone who watched tonight's game and thinks we can't compete doesn't know

kimdaddy35

1/9/24 9:09pm

We lost by double digits (I’m not counting the gimme 2 by Knell at the end).

SlantRoute

1/9/24 9:15pm

So why are you counting the gimme from Baylor?

puntersarepeople

1/9/24 9:19pm

What gimme? Did they score an uncontested bucket where we didn’t even try?

SlantRoute

1/9/24 9:22pm

If you think we were selling out for a stop on their last basket think again

puntersarepeople

1/9/24 9:31pm

Either way, I’m going to keep these posts going throughout the season until BYU starts “competing”

SlantRoute

1/9/24 9:36pm

How did we not compete tonight? 5 point game with 1 minute left? Clown take

puntersarepeople

1/9/24 9:39pm

Being competitive in the Big12 will be based on wins and losses.

SlantRoute

1/9/24 9:48pm

This team may only win 3-4 games the rest of the year. 5-2 became 5-7 and 12-1 may become 15-16 🙁 seems like Pope and
