If you think Pearl inherited a roster similar to what Barnes inherited then there is no reasoning with you.
I've long said that while Pearl deserves all the credit for the turnaround in Year 1 compared to the year before, it also showed how utterly incompetent Buzz Peterson was as a coach. He had basically the same team the year before with Brandon Crump and went 14-17. Part of what makes Pearl look even better is he followed a terrible basketball coach. Look back at the talent Peterson had his 4 years and he should have at least had 2 NCAAT teams if not 3.
