Tennessean staff reports
The University of Tennessee has received permission to discuss the head men's basketball coaching vacancy with Charlotte Coach Bobby Lutz.
49ers Athletics Director Judy Rose said she gave the Vols permission, and Lutz acknowledged that he had spoken with UT Athletics Director Mike Hamilton about the job.
The position became available when Buzz Peterson was dismissed after the SEC tournament.
Lutz's team made the NCAA Tournament this season, something Peterson wasn't able to do in four seasons in Knoxville. Lutz is 135-83 in seven seasons at Charlotte, which is leaving Conference USA and joining the Atlantic 10 next season.
Hamilton has said he will not comment on the search until Tennessee introduces its new coach.

Why does everyone want bruce pearl all of a sudden? What has he done on a consistent basis to be named so often? Beat Bama and get hired?

Oh...So if someone types up a good Bio it makes them a good coach...Alrighty...That means Buzz is Pat Riley or somebody then. His bio has the same thing Pearls does. Southern Indiana? Geez Louise..Powerhouse there...If he hadnt coached a team that beat lil Ol Bama he wouldnt even be mentioned so that Bio is crap...it didnt matter til that win...and that win isnt impressive.
