Hart should consult Ernie.

If Ernie was the guy who directed us towards Pearl, then I would hope Hart gets any input he might offer.

I believe it was a search firm that brought Bruce Pearl to Tennessee

 

[Biopsyman]

Going to get interesting very soon

Ernie had a big part in it

Hope Hart talks with Charlie Ergen (CEO of Dish) who was a basketball player at Oak Ridge and a decent point guard. Tell him NOW is the time to make a major investment in the basketball program.

[omghulkhands]

Not sure how connected Ernie is with college basketball, but it would be foolish to not at least attempt to seek his advice

 

[volholio]

They want Ernie run out of town in DC.

 

[FiremedicVOL127]

I would like to know if they even reach out to Pearl to see if he would have intrest. But who ever recommended Pearl would be a good person to consult.

As a Wizards fan, the last thing they want to do is consult Ernie.

Plus when we hired Buzz, Ernie recommended Jay Wright (Hofstra) to us. Hart should definitely consult with him.

Didn't he draft beal and wall.

Yep. They're on pace to have their best record in nine years, despite barely being above .500. His overall record since taking over is a sparkling 356-529 (the 3rd worst record in the NBA in that span), with one playoff series win in 11 years.

I stand by what I said before.

Didn't he draft beal and wall.

Yep. He acquired John Wall with the #1 overall pick. In order to acquire said #1 pick, Grunfeld had to build a team that could lose enough games in order to have a chance at winning the lottery. He passed that test with flying colors, despite the win-now approach he took before that season.

I stand by what I said before.

Not so sure about that now that the Bullets are fielding a relatively strong squad...

People don't realize how impossible it is to turn around a NBA franchise

Considering the fact that he has the 28th ranked win percentage since entering the league despite almost always being in win now mode, I'd say just about everyone is doing a better job at that "impossible" task than Ernie Grunfeld.

 

[VOLsince68]

Sounds like Ernie is better at picking upcoming NCAA coaches...............
