Coach Pearl in this week's SI

[Volman1970]

I had to tell my fellow Nation he is in there. I haven't read it yet but i already know it is great. A good recruiting tool for us and let the good times keep rolling:rock:

This?

SI.com - Writers - Grant Wahl: Oh Boy. There he goes again. Bruce Pearl's got his shirt off - Tuesday October 9, 2007 11:32AM

Its a good little article and focuses on how his background has made him who he is, and he even tells us he's not perfect in the article. Its pretty humbling.

 

[VolfanMike]

he tells us hes not perfect because he isnt perfect...nobody is...the guy is a great coach, and a fun one to watch...but he is not a God...

 

[getyopopcornready]

Pearl is amazing

he tells us hes not perfect because he isnt perfect...nobody is...the guy is a great coach, and a fun one to watch...but he is not a God...

I know, and that's his point.

And when Pearl decided to use more zone defense in preparation for the deeper three-point line in 2008-09, Summitt taught him the Lady Vols' matchup zone.

More zone... interesting.

he tells us hes not perfect because he isnt perfect...nobody is...the guy is a great coach, and a fun one to watch...but he is not a God...

Whoever said he was?

 

[egotisticalmoron]

Great article!

"On two occasions, Pearl claims -- once in Chicago, once in Evansville, Ind. -- he was physically confronted by Illini supporters. "They were sorry they started it," he says."

Awesome

 

[Plano Vol]

Rather than saying he is an Israeli, I hope he starts saying he is a Tennessee Jew.

Welcome home, Bruce!

he tells us hes not perfect because he isnt perfect...nobody is...the guy is a great coach, and a fun one to watch...but he is not a God...

There goes my whole belief system.

I love this picture:

If the water in that part of the river can't hurt Bruce, nothing can.

nice pic of the "non GOD" b-ball coach. That man totally revamped the basketball program. I look forward to this season and seeing that high energy offence run up the electric bill.

[awebb7]

Sorry.

 

[crazyguy]

[Vol Mania 21]

whats so bad about that part of the water?

 

[awebb7]

There are signs near the river that say "Do Not Come In Contact With Water"

Back on subject....

"I'm annoying. But our fans love it, and the opposing fans don't. I always said I wanted to be the least popular coach in the SEC. I just had no idea I could do it in two years."

Bruce Pearl is the man....this is a great article!
