Oh I forgot about all the great coaches that have been here before and the ones just chomping at the bit to come to a school with such a great recruiting history!!!

Just out of curiosity, what did you see out of Tennessee on Sunday that makes you think the head coach should be doing anything besides coaching two days before Tennessee plays their opening round game? Perhaps you can redeem yourself and make me rethink my stance that people who lack the ability to think critically should all be sterilized.

Why does everyone think that Wade Houston started the basketball program at UT?

For as much money as we're paying Pearl, we could get a much better coach in terms of Xs and Os.

Pearl is a good salesman and recruiter. He's a mediocre coach, at best. He won't take us to any championships, but he's a good guy to jump start a program.

But he's so good at getting us free positive publicity and as soon as he is out of town Buzz Peterson will immediately reclaim the head coaching position. Don't you know anything, moron?

Pearl understands the big picture. Get exposure, promote the program, get the team on T.V. every possible chance, play anybody anywhere which all leads to getting better recruits. The AD sure understands it, why don't you!!

Nowhere in there did you say a word about actual coaching.

Those recruits have been studs, haven't they? I mean Ramar Smith, Duke Crews, Renaldo Woolridge, Phillip Jurick, Bobby Maze, Cam Tatum, and Marques Johnson are gonna win us the National Title, right?

How would that be any different from the norm?

Pearl is no Coach K or anything but his style is to press, create turnovers which gives his team more posessions. He could do none of that this year with this team and still won 21 games and made it to the dance. He has adapted his style and still been fairly successful.

So when these are all his players, why can't they run his system?

Since they can't run that system, shouldn't they be able to do something else? Instead, they look terrible in a halfcourt offense, play bad defense, and generally, don't give a whole lot of effort.

All of those things can be pointed back at Bruce.

How many McDonald's all americans has UNC signed in the past 2 years. 7!! We have 1. Until then Vincent Yarbrough was our last one. More will come if we continue to be relevant every year.
