I'm torn between the two. I can't pick which is a better coach.....for me, maybe a tie at this point.
Its hard not to love Pearl. He's fun, loves UTbasketball, and took UT to new heights. Still, from a coaching standpoint, Barnes could do laps around him imo. Without incredible depth, his style is not desirable in a tournament setting. Good guard play would deal with his press and his flex was frustrating in a half court game. I think Barnes is a tremendous X and O guy. His style is more balanced. I'm biased though because I've loved Barnes before I knew who Bruce pearl was
