Bruce Pearls honeymoon is over. Its time to be a real coach. Will that ever happen?

I don't understand why he did great with lesser talent, and now that he has big time prospects he is losing?

what he has now is a leaderless team. Chism is a role player that is newly accustomed to being the man. This team has too many thugs. They need to quit whining, accept a questionable call here and there, and play hard. The talent is there, the desire is not.

Search for Hat's comment about overhearing an NBA scout saying something about how Pearl's system is built around alley cats, and wondering how much success he'd have running it with fat cats. It's proven to be a pretty prophetic statement.

Add in the fact that we don't have any perimeter shooters anymore, and that half-court defense is not a part of the Pearl system, and you've pretty much got what we are now.

Scotty Hopson... Wow. Play some defense, quit putting up those three point teardrops. What's the deal with this guy shooting threes over the roof?

Fact is we need a shooter, and it's become clear that he isn't it. We need a new SG.

The honeymoon was over after we played streetball against Louisville last year in the tourney.

That's how he 'effin shoots. Just kinda like how JP Prince shoots like a douche as does Aldrich from Kansas. Get off his jock about his shot.. wow.

Scotty Hopson was the LEAST of our problems tonight.

We're watching a guy who has only coached uptempo ball on both ends try to transition to a more tournament friendly style. It's painful to watch. We look lost in every phase of the game.

It's his shooting style. And it clearly works, considering he has the best 3 point percentage on the team (outside of BDub).

Sounds like Pearl needs to stop recruiting "baller" type players and find more Dane Bradshaws.

It will help in the long run though. Terrible growing pains will be here for a while though.

Teams have figured pearl out. Play zone and get the ball in play. We survived before because we had guys who could stretch the defense...that's not happening now. Its funny how we whined about chris not driving enough, but I'd take a few 3 a game anytime now.
