i know he made a mistake, but don't we all make mistakes? he didnt cheat or anything. he just told a little bald faced lie. callipari cheated everywhere hes been. yeah, i can understand why some people are upset, but the man has done more good for UT than any basketball coach ever did. besides, who else would come here? we arent a basketball school like duke or kansas. we are lucky to have him.

go vols!

If we're getting major penalties ore he's getting a year suspension, he should be gone, period. Especially if we avoid major penalties by getting rid of him.

And fyi, we could have hired Bill Self years ago. UT can get a good coach.

Why would we want Bill Self when we have Bruce Pearl? Bruce is a better floor coach.. he proved that last year when he beat him with walk ons. We have one of the top 5 coaches in the game.

Three things:

1. Damn. What is with that avatar?

2. How many of these 'love' him 'hate' him threads do we need.

3. I love him! If we could get a good coach, why did it take so long? I'll hang up and listen.

Love CBP, he's still my coach, and we're gonna get thru this. Even if we get some big penalties, we have enough young talent on the team right now that I feel we'll be fairly good to weather the storm.

Bill Self has final fours/national title/conference tournament titles, etc.

I'm okay with Pearl staying if we're not going to get severe penalties. If we do, he has to go, especially if we can avoid the penalties.

Self had the school to bring in big talent. I have been watching Tennessee basketball for over fifty years and have never seen a coach here bring in the talent Pearl has. We were ranked #1 for the first time under Pearl and knocked off two #1 ranked teams in the same year
with less talent than Self. We went to the elite eight for the first time under Pearl and we are just getting started
because before Pearl is done coaching there will be a number of NC banners hanging in TBA.

What, as a fan, does it mean for me to "stick by" the coach? What is the alternative?

Lmaoooo what a joke. Like it or not pearl is the best coach for UT. He is the face of Tenn basketball. Period. It's sad to me you people would fathom having a different coach after everything he's done for this program. Don't forget, before him TBA was empty and you probably weren't watching more than four games a year.

Penalities are imposed against the school....not the coach. We fire Bruce.. our sanctions are the same.

Bruce isn't going anywhere

Sorry, but to me, I'd rather have a person like Chris Lofton as the face of UT basketball.
