I should ignore this. But why oh why does Pearl get mentioned when talking about Tyndall? That was 4 years ago. Yes, the school could have done more with Pearl, but Pearl himself could have done more. He had lawyers. The difference is that he got a show cause and couldn't coach for 3 years. What did you expect the school to do?

Just because a new coach is lousy doesn't mean you should have kept the previous one. That's like saying you shouldn't have broken up with your first girlfriend because the second one didn't work out either. That's flawed logic. The bad decision was the new hire, not firing.

Quit living in the past. Tyndall is a good coach. People who live in the past or who don't understand basketball may not see it. Let's see if he can get through the NCAA issue and get some players. You can kindly go root for another team if you don't like it.

It's nice to see that some of our fans have a little common sense. That was well put.

Then anybody who wanted Pearl fired is the biggest f***ing idiot to grace this board.

We fired Pearl because he got in trouble with the NCAA. Rather than support him, we fired his ass. Even with all of his accolades of finishing in the Elite 8, getting us to #1 in the polls, beating multiple number 1 teams and going to multiple Sweet 16.

On the flipside...

Now we should support someone who is in trouble with the NCAA. Been here all of 1 season and with 1 game remaining, it could decide if we finish .500 or not.

So... you're an idiot if you don't support Tyndall for breaking rules even though he's accomplished nothing here but we already fired a coach for breaking the rules even though he's done more for this basketball program than anyone ever has.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I could care less if we keep Tyndall or if we don't. We already parted from one coach rather than bite the bullet and I liked that coach a lot more. Why should I care what happens to this coach? If he stays, I'll support him. If he's fired, he can take his NCAA troubles and his .500 record with. Wtf do I care? I had to let go of my attachment to Pearl. I don't really have an attachment to this guy. Then again, that's probably because I don't get excited by .500 records and potential postseason bans. To be fair, Cuonzo took us to the Sweet 16 and I wasn't really excited by that either. We lucked out by playing terrible teams to get there. It's not like we got there because the team was all that great.

Anyways, Pearl cultivated a culture of winning. As of right now, I see NCAA problems on our doorstep and a 15-14 record. I'm sure as hell not gonna fight to keep that as a fan after the school didn't fight to keep Pearl as a coach. But I'm also not gonna fight to push Tyndall out the door. Not like it matters what I, or 50,000 other fans want though. I'm just just not gonna care about the coaching hires. Firing Fulmer for Lane/Dooley, firing Pearl for Martin. Firing Del Monico for Raleigh. Hindsight is 20/20 and I'm just gonna blindly follow(they don't care what we want anyways) without giving much thought on whether we're making some really stupid decisions as far as the hiring and firing process goes. Butch appears to on the up swing(W/L column doesn't show it yet). Serrano was supposed to be on the upswing but so far I have yet to see improvement on the diamond. And Tyndall is too soon to tell but had we known about the NCAA, he wouldn't have been here to begin with along with his .500 season.

Just like in football, there's always a few people who after a win can't wait to post "where are the negavols". Was here last night. Do you realize this board is about 90% negative in someway?

I love the strawman arguments made up; Top just went on a tirade against something that wasn't even said.

Donnie Tyndall is the basketball version of Butch Jones. Tyndall and the Vols are a pack of pit bulls. When he said other teams would say here comes Donnie and his boys. We better lace em up tight, he wasn't lying.

How?

They do seem similar in passion , personality , knowledge of their sport . Difference is Butch has had 2 complete cycles to recruit to a school with rich football tradition . CDT hasn't even had one cycle and posters like you are claiming he can't recruit

He can recruit. I always go back to his 1st presser. He said he was going after the best. Is that what he has been doing? Hopefully, it's just the NCAA investigation that's hindering him.

It annoys me when people say he can't recruit . Nobody knows at this point . Of course the investigation hurt . He had Clarke until the news broke . He has White so far for 16 . That 16 class will start to show if he can recruit or not

I loved Pearl, but I think Donnie is a great coach. I hope he survives the NCAA mess, and it's behind us sooner rather than later so he can recruit.
