The Bruce Pearl Thread

[GAVol]

You don't realize how mediocre your coach is until you watch an rpi 80 nobody dismantle a team you couldn't score 40 points on with less talent.

So now we've gone from a 1 point loss to an eventual #2 seed being a "good loss" to it being a sign of underachievement because they were upset in the tournament?

Case in point.

That's always the great come back. Pointing to another coach or another team.

Oh, I get it. You're the only one who's allowed to refer to another team and use the transitive property. I'll keep that in mind.

Touche.
Now that was a better answer.

We have people comparing Pearl to Knight. Ridiculous.

Pay attention. I'm talking about how they are perceived by the public after doing wrong. Nothing about winning games. But thanks for the input without reading my post.

 

[bigsteve13]

No offense, but . . . Yes . . . It is a ridiculous thought.

That's your opinion. I'm sure people were saying the same thing in Chicago before MJ came home.

 

[bigsteve13]

You think Pearl is more publicly "excepted" than Knight? How do you figure that?

Personal opinion. I watch them both on espn. I listen to Pearl when he talks and I think about chair throwing when I hear Bob Knight talk.

Now you're comparing Pearl to Michael Jordan. Holy s***, I'm done.

Well then now you're saying it's just you, which you're obviously biased.

I think you're crazy if you think more people think more highly of Pearl than Knight, if for anything way more people know who Knight is.

 

[NashVol11]

I agree, Pearl was much better.

 

[bigsteve13]

GTFO. You're moronic

You think lying to the NCAA is worse than all the stuff knight did? Are you kidding me??? I'm going to tell you a lie then hit you in the head with a chair. You tell me which was worse.

You guys are seriously cracking me up. opcorn:

Two seasons after throwing the chair Knight was winning a championship. Two seasons after lying to the NCAA Pearl is working at ESPN.

In terms of tan level and sweat output, absolutely.

I will say this, Pearl is definitely a better basketball coach than CCM! But Pearl will not be a coach again at UT unless it is on the visiting team's bench.

Not what I said at all, you said "excepted" (it's "accepted" genius). If you think Pearl is more popular than Knight, you're absolutely crazy.

 

[utfan72408]

Quit telling the truth, it will get you roasted like ut95.

The fact that you just defended IE95 tells us everything we need to know about you.

Howland out at UCLA, bring on Bruce!

 

[vols 30]

Gorilla screwing is underrated IMO

Yep, definitely don't want to disturb them

 

[Dougie_D]

Pearl going to UCLA could actually happen. Pearl and Kiffin could hang out again.

Really think it'd be a good fit, but don't see him getting that good of a job.

He's still got a year left on his show cause no?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Yea pretty sure...I was being sarcastic about pearl to UCLA actually happening.

 

[KoachKletus]

Loved Bruce. Hated that he had to embarrass UT and himself. He will never coach at UT again. /thread.
