ASK MIKE

Please click on the link and ask AD Mike Hamilton to name the UT basketball complex (Thompson Boling Arena plus the new Pratt Practice Pavillion) the Ray Mears Basketball Complex. As you know, Coach Mears is a legend in UT men's basketball history and is currently in poor health. This would be a great honor to bestow on Coach Mears, particularly while he is still alive to see it happen.

It's just a practice facility. It's almost a slap in the face.

You are the same people who would be up in arms if the did the same thing to Neyland yet you think its funny when they do it to Mears.

I think Mears' Court or something like they did with Summit would work. I dont know about removing someones name after you've dedicated a building to them.

The whole Major's family are "Vols inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame."

Mr. and Mrs. Shirley Majors, Bill (Football 1958-60, Assistant Coach 1963-65), Bob (Football 1969-71), John (Football 1954-56, Assistant Coach 1957-59, Head Football Coach 1977-92), Joe & Larry


Just thought that was interesting.
