BYU has never been in one since Pope has been coach.

And to be clear those tournaments matter because they get you into the dance. Something Pope already has done. He says "you're welcome".

I still have 1 concern about Pope after this season.

Post season games are the hardest games to win, and they get increasingly harder

For everyone not just pope

BYU '80

There's a clear trend: BYU keeps playing in tournaments where nearly everyone loses

ColoSpgs

Everyone has to get a trophy too

He needs to ride the hot hand more and stop over analyzing things. Pull guys

idcougarfan

Mar 15, 11:43am

And not pull guys that are hot

^^^this! Pope pulled JR right after he hit 2 3's in the TT game. Like What??

Tio

It was just for the defensive possession - he said he took him out to save fouls

Skeptical Optimist

You don't mess with the lineup that's gone on a hot streak and got you back in

Tio

You do realize that every team except 1 ends every tournament with a loss?

So what has been Mark Pope's best Post Season Success as a head coach?

Mostlyaccurate

Mar 15, 11:50am

Looks like a pattern to get a Bball HC honored as an all-time great at BYU.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 15, 11:52am

Like I said, not a major concern.

Mostlyaccurate

Mar 15, 11:58am

Without one ncaa tourney win or conference tourney title? Low standards

BYU '80

Mar 15, 7:06pm

For a BYU HC? Hardly. Par the course. Particularly w his 1st squad being Covid-denied.

SinkingQuffa

Rose won multiple tourney games as did Reid

BYU '80

Dave won his first NCAA Tourney game in 2010. In his 6th season. This is Mark's 5th.

SinkingQuffa

Mar 15, 7:38pm

You talked about his current trajectory, which does not include a tourney win

BYU '80

Mar 15, 9:12pm

Did I say they would've won a tourney game in 2020? I know one thing they COULDN'T have done that year, though:

SinkingQuffa

Pope will have the benefit of good seeding. Hope he can do it . Rose only

BYU '80

Mar 15, 9:21pm

Provide a better option with better post season success. I’ll stick with pope.

I'm not asking for a new coach. Just something I've seen.

yes, it's something you've seen and are now trying to pretend it's some kind of

I’d like to see him up his technical foul count until we get a more favorable

The high energy style that BYU plays isn't conducive to next day games. Conference tourneys are problematic there.

Conference tournament results don't matter. Let's see what he does in the NCAA

kimdaddy35

Mar 15, 12:59pm

Exactly, we have a sample size of 1 as far as postseason play that matters

CPAcoug87

Mar 15, 2:50pm

Yes they do

BYU '80

Mar 15, 7:07pm

No they really don't.

Tell that to teams who get auto bids

1/4 years. And if he had won the tournaments they would have gone

BYU '80

You have made a case for Pope doing well post season. Post season the opponents

NYC and Japan

Not in conference tourneys. He has beaten non ncaa tourney teams

BYU '80

Now do that with the majority of coaches.

Here's the reason: that matches almost every coach in D1 basketball.

Wait we went 19-15 last year? In the WCC? That was ROUGH

Cooouuugs

Mar 15, 4:29pm

Yet were still a couple plays from making it to the title game (where the Zags likely blow us out like they did SMC).

SinkingQuffa

As baseball has shown, the postseason is all about luck and matchups.

Idk, NBA post season is completely different than the regular season.

Mostlyaccurate

Mar 15, 5:14pm

Series as opposed to single game.

ConnCoug

Mar 16, 9:48am

To win in post season you need 1of 2 things: nba caliber players or a coach

Idacoug

Mar 15, 5:08pm

Compare him to rose. I bet it’s more a BYU thing.
