I always get a chuckle out of the over-the-top praise in press releases and bios.

Note the sentence: "While at Tennessee, Bergeron directed the offense and helped lead the Vols to back-to-back SEC Tournament appearances for the first time in over a decade."

As if those back-to-back appearances were the result of anything other than the SEC expanding the tournament field to 12 teams, making it hard not to qualify.

(This comment has nothing to do with Coach B. I know some people here have strong opinions about him, but I'm not close enough to have an informed view on any of that. I'm just commenting on how PR flacks will grasp at anything to make everyone sound awesome.)
