Just came across the wire
I personally think that's part of his charm. And I disagree about comparisons to Belichick. Belichick famously says nothing, whereas Pop has had many epic rants stemming from his crustiness. He's authentic.Great coach, a bit of a crusty old dude and a horrible interviewee. I think him and Belichick took the same public speaking course.
He's actually a great interview. The crotchety sideline stuff was a bit he only really did with Sager.Great coach, a bit of a crusty old dude and a horrible interviewee.
Don't even start! LolHurley to SA?

Awww.Love the guy.
I don't know the answer but since you live in Southern California and it's the only DIII school I know of with 2 names I'm going with Pomona-Pitzer. I happen to follow DIII basketball because the school I went to held the record at the time for making the most consecutive DIII NCAA Tournaments with 12. Got to 2 Final Fours in my 4 years and lost in the championship game both times. Plus my kids both went to a DIII school who went to the NCAA Tournament a few times while they were there.My fun Pop tidbit. He was the basketball coach for my DIII school while I was a student there in the mid 80s.
Trivia question - without looking it up, who can name the schools (two colleges combined for their athletics) and or the mascot?
Pop earned the right to lecturing people on and off the court. He has a hand in making the game more global as a pioneer in evaluating international players to play in the league.I thought he got fairly annoying in his later years with his constant lecturing off the court and then lecturing fans in the arena but I always liked him and he's one of the most successful coaches ever. I hope his health is okay and he has many more great years.
Of course..didn’t mean to suggest otherwise.He has a right to do what he wants, everyone has that right. He likes the smell of his own farts, I have the right to find that annoying.
Correct - Pomona Pitzer Sagehens. We were terrible at sports so our motto was "The Sagehens, the only animal that gives up when cornered."I don't know the answer but since you live in Southern California and it's the only DIII school I know of with 2 names I'm going with Pomona-Pitzer.

I just looked it up and the men's basketball team has never made the NCAA Tournament. Not once! I was surprised at that. I remember the baseball team was decent. I'm also familiar with the schools because my younger son looked at Claremont McKenna.Correct - Pomona Pitzer Sagehens.

You have mad DIII sports trivia skillz.
