And how did he crap the bed? They went to the tournament, couple years ago, people were ready to deify Pearl for getting there

Even assistants would laugh at taking some of those jobs. However, when one can't find a job, one has to take bad jobs.

KO was having all kinds of problems finding jobs. That's why such a ****ty coach hasn't been out of work in over twenty years

I'm sure this is sarcasm, but being honest, Fulmer has a National Championship. O'Neill's trophy case has one piece from the Great Midwest Conference.

It wasn't an attempt to compare coaches, I stated "supporters".

According to you, for all but 3 of those years he was at ****ty jobs. What does that tell you?

Hanging your hat on O'neill getting in the tourney at Zona is laughable. It was a favor to Lute to preserve his consecutive streak in case he returned. They had no business in the tourney that year.

That's the common theme with KO teams. Lucky to get in the tourney.

USC basketball is not a "high profile" job. Arizona didn't offer him the job, it was default, then they ran him off. He's done in the NBA, maybe a minor assistant but not likely. Fulmer and Green are both old and handsomely paid to not work.

Rick Carlisle would hire KO back as his lead assistant tomorrow. Try knowing what you're talking about. It'll cut down on the number of idiotic things you say.

No he wouldn't. Just cause you say it don't make it so. I'll debate all day with you on NBA, that's my sport of choice.

I don't debate when I know all the players involved. I tell it how it is. That's the difference in simply watching what's going on and knowing how things are.

So he could do better than Northwestern? You would think when he left UT, all these programs would want this great coach.

It tells you a lot about the circumstances he was working under at UT that he would bolt for Northwestern.

As it turns out, programs like the Raptors, Arizona, and USC have wanted him.

Look at who hired him to those 3 places, and you will figure out why he was hired there.

If you know O'neill personally, then it all makes sense.

and later told one of the announcers working this season's USC game that he regrets leaving. must have been pretty awful to regret leaving.

Well LWS just broke the news that Pearl is gone (hypothetical thread), so get some rest to tonight, as these abilities will be needed for the next few weeks, I'm sure. Not that these other guys don't know a lot, too, from the looks of this thread.

Yes, then, among other things, proceeded to renege on a contract extension, refuse to clear Isiah Victor to play, and instruct KO to throw Ray Mears off the team bus to the Georgia game. I can't imagine why the relationship went south.

This statement is bs. I just called a friend that played for KO for all 3 years and sat by Mears on one trip to UGA. The only thing that is correct is that KO and Mears were really tight. If you didn't make it up, someone lied to you.

Take it up with about three quarters of the UTAD, including the beloved play by play announcer. I don't care what you believe.

Is that the same one who came to USC practice earlier this year, just to say hello to KO while he was in town?

Well screw me! Me and my revisionist history, I completely forgot that he left that mid major Arizona job for that cush job at USC on his own accord. Man, you really got me there!

Excellent retort. I especially like the inclusion of the word cush. Of course, you are still wrong, but you should feel better about it.

Still wrong? :crazy:

It's not possible that Arizona was getting blistered in the recruiting trail because of Lute's limbo? Coach-in-waiting as a recruiting tool? Never! No program would ever do that! Right Texas? Virginia Tech? Anybody?
