I always give them both credit for UT basketball being what it is today. If Barnes was to win a Natty he would owe Pearl a little bit of gratitude.I do too. I love Barnes too. You know, it’s ok to appreciate both.

If Barnes isn't able to get it done, the next coach that comes in and gets it done is going to owe both Barnes and Pearl a ton of gratitude for building a culture of winning here at UT in respect to Basketball.
Without Pearl and those winning seasons we may not even end up with Barnes.You forgetting the 4 year gap of Martin & Donnie that separates Pearl & Barnes?
Rick doesn’t owe Bruce anything. He didn’t inherit anything. Now us fans, we have to be grateful for Pearl he showed the admin & big money donors “if you build it, they will come” and then Hart was allowed to go get Barnes.

You can pretend Pearl did nothing for this program all you want. It's not reality, tho.Foolish statement.
Barnes doesn’t owe Pearl anything.
The fact there’s people still believe Pearl was mistreated by Tennessee due to his careless actions is absolutely mind boggling.
It anything, he helped create the mess.

He made/showed the job here was worth taking.
He gave Barnes a nice landing spot after Texas.
Pearl built that. He also built a culture of winning that lasted despite a few seasons of bad coaching. That says a lot about what Pearl did for us.
There is no need to not give him credit for that.
