BP as analyst.

Ok - question for the masses - when does his probation or what ever you call it in his case run out? I was always a little confused as to how that worked. Also - regarding his assistants - have they all cleared their respective penalties?

Thanks, I'll hang up and listen.

Bruce has learnt his lesson. Id love for him to come back because he is exciting and has fun to watch teams. Flame away.

I want him back. It was fun and winning basketball. He deserves a second chance.

He will have a D 1 job the minute he is eligible to coach again.

I would like to see him come back, the current product is hard to watch! It would not bother me at all to see him back on the bench in orange.....but it will never happen, unfortunately!

I liked Pearl his first few years, his quick tempo press and the excitement he brought. After his elite 8 run things started running down hill. He never was a good recruiting evaluator, just went after stars. His offense was a control chaos dribble the ball around until 10 seconds were left and then jack up a 3. His best years was when Lofton was there and could hit the 3. I wouldn't mind having that Pearl back, but not the ladder Pearl. Just my 2 cents...still thin CCM can get it done. Is offense is bad, but is adding really nice players. Richardson, Moore, Reese, and Yemi have all been impressive when, everyone doubted them because of the stars by their name. Adding Maymon and Hubbs will improve the offense tremendously. Please everyone give him some time. I know it's hard for everyone to be patient, because that's how the world is today, but judge him after next year, when he has had 3 years to get the players for his system.

Edit: don't drill me too hard with spelling I'm on my phone.

he only coached one season after the elite 8 run. At least that's what i was thinking.

Yep, went down hill after that. I guess you can make an excuse about all of the negative attention around him lying, but if you do that then you can make an excuse for CCM not having Maymon..

But, Maymon is a Pearl recruit and Pearl couldn't recruit talent.

If he goes there I hope we don't have to play them and add them to our list of loses under AP.

Difference was CCM was doing it voluntarily, FCBP was doing it for minimum wage.

It won't be that bad. Think more along the CUSA lines.
