I guess by your philosophy he's never allowed to have any fun.:no:This is starting to get a bit out of hand. It's borderline embarrassing. I'm all for Pearl being an outgoing guy, painting his chest to support the Lady Vols, etc. but perhaps he should be more worried about recruiting players who fit his system...or anyone else that can either make a shot, play defense, or understand coaching.
It isn't like he needs to continue to spread the word about Vol Ball. He's already done a great job at putting them on the map and it will be easier as an opposing coach to show this clip and ask a recruit if he wants to play for a guy who doesn't appear to take his offseason seriously versus showing a kid this and saying, "why wouldn't you want to play for this goof?"
Rapping with our thugs, even for a school function, is just overdoing it a bit.

Face facts....UT isn't a "basketball school" and may never be. CBP has brought excitement and a level of success to the program that hasn't regularly been seen in Knoxville.
Get the brand out there. Make the program more relevant......Sounds a lot like what the football program is trying to accomplish.
Just because he does things that would make you or I look foolish doesn't make him an idiot.
Life is a journey. Enjoy the ride.
