Auburn Loses To Missouri

Also, you listed Frank Martin, a major conference coach with an Elite Eight run to his name. Not a mid-major guy.

I honestly don't know why Pearl took at job. There was absolutely no talent on the roster he inherited and AU fans will never be loyal basketball followers. Pearl got UT fans to love him and pack out a large gym for weekend and weeknight games. He will never have that at Auburn. I would have loved to hire him back but doubt it would have ever happened, although if Tyndall had any hand in what happened at So. Miss he would make Pearls infractions look like Childs play. If Pearl had just been honest about the BBQ he would still be at TN. Really hope he can get out of AU and go somewhere that he has a legitimate chance at winning and gets the kind of support from fans and university that he had in Knoxville.

I can think of a few million reasons Pearl took the AU job.

More on my earlier point about defending the three: the only statistically-founded way to do it consistently is to limit your opponent's three-point attempts.
