He would be allowed to recruit a little and talk Harris and Hopson to staying.

Regardless of the coach, I think we will loose one of the 2. It has already been stated that the 2 dont gel.

A good coach can work around personality issues. They DO want to go to the NBA before Turkey, I assume?

Am I misinterpreting this or something? On what Earth would Jay Wright and Larry Brown not be above Mooney, Stevens and Mack? Also, Gregg Marshall is at least even with the mid-major coaches you list.

Have you watch Scotty play lately? Hes a headcase. I think he has tons of potential, but he pouts and quits when things dont go his way. Id rather have Tobias.

Lawrence Franks--the pro game is different than the college game, including recruiting and managing the players on a daily basis. I question why? Besides he's 40, coached the Nets and asstd under O'neill? What are people basing their opinions on?

Because Hat likes him...need there be any other reasons?

Why would UT be asking him for recommendations on possible coaches? This sounds very fishy to me. He hasn't been at UT for years and has no other ties to UT, but they want his recommendations on who to hire---no way.

Great observation, seems obvious to me as well.

IMO and I said this earlier Larry Brown is the person we need.If he is hired Tobias an Hopson stay and we land three top recruits,the two guards we had and the kid from Africa and possibly one more big man.
One thing for sure if Larry Brown can deal with A.I. thin I see a big turn around in the game of Hopson,Woolridge,Tatum,and Maymon.
I strongly feel that we would be a top 20 team and if they do hire him these kids would love him and feel like the University gives a damn about them by bringing in a person who will get the maximum potential out of them and he will keep it real with them.Well Hammy and company have their work cut out but big daddy Jim will have the last say and he is a good business man his bank account speaks for itself. I say make the call to Larry Brown put our B-Ball program back into a positive light and give us fans something to look forward too when the season comes.Well I say good night to all from A VOL FAN IN AGHANI LAND!!!!!!!

The 5 candidates we have the list are not as good as Lawrence Frank would be. Infact the list of 5 we have are not as good as Pearl. Frank MIGHT better equal or better to Pearl

So how many NBA coaching staffs have been trying to snag Pearl to be part of?

How about his recruiting pitch every time he goes into a prospect's home. "Yes, I can get you there. I was a head coach in the league for 7 years and I just recently spent some time with a few alright basketball players. Rondo, Garnett, Allen, and Pierce.. Maybe you've heard of them?"

I have no faith in amerian education when I see people question this.
