Cal's comments revealing

[iuvol2012]

Look how awesome they were for 80% of the time he was there.

He won 25 or more games 11 out of his 16 years there. AND he went past the Sweet Sixteen three more times than Pearl has.

They hadn't made the tournament in 12 years before he got there. He made it 14 times in 16 years with a Final Four and two more Elite Eights. They haven't made the tournament since he left. Pretty strong evidence...

 

[VolDad]

I forgot that you know more about the situation than NCAA investigators do...

Don't sell him short. He played Div III ball.

 

[NashVol11]

uh huh. I bet UMass and Memphis know a lot more about it than you do.

And they kept Calipari around for as long as they could...you are literally making my point for me

First things first. One thing everyone must realize when arguing with hat that simply making the tournament, or even making the sweet sixteen is not success. Moving on.

with a Final Four and two more Elite Eights.

How long ago was this?

If Sweet Sixteens are not success, and Huggins is a has-been, that would define Pearl as a "never-was." See what I'm saying?

 

[hatvol96]

It's all just a giant coincidence isn't it?

It's as much of a coincidence as Pearl's roster being a revolving door because of dismissals, suspensions, and academic casualties.

How recent was Bruce Pearl's last Elite 8 or Final Four appearance? I'll wait...

ok. good. calapari is a saint. I bet UK magically and extremely coincidentally gets a violation right after calapari walks out the door.

Pearl wasn't coaching D1 in the early 90s. Give him a few more years to catch up with the old drunkard.

You better watch it, Hat. I think another "Hate Thread" might be in order.

Huggins made the Final Four in his third season at Cincinnati and made it back to the Elite Eight in his fourth...

 

[SaintBruce]

Huggins made the Final Four in his third season at Cincinnati and made it back to the Elite Eight in his fourth...

Tell me when he made it back after that.

 

[LawVol13]

Tell me when he made it back after that.

What's the point? In his first 3 seasons, he eclipsed anything Pearl has done his entire career.

 

[iuvol2012]

Tell me when he made it back after that.

1995-1996 season.

lol:

 

[hatvol96]

He made the Elite Eight again in year seven. Thus, to match that production, Tanning Bed has to make the Elite Eight each of the next three tournaments. Good luck with that.

 

[SaintBruce]

1995-1996 season.

Tell me the last time Huggins went past the sweet sixteen and had a successful season as a head coach. That's what I want to know.

I hope does, so you can lay off him and let him roll on easy street for a decade and a half.

 

[NashVol11]

You're talking in circles, and it's probably because you realize how wrong you are.

If you're going to say Pearl "needs more time" in his 5th year here, when Huggins made the Final Four in his third, you're just wrong.

If you're going to say Huggins is a "has-been" because it's been too long since he made the Elite Eight, Bruce Pearl is a "never-was" because he hasn't done it even once.

Do you even have a point anymore?

 

[NashVol11]

Bruce Pearl has not done this once. Ever.

 

[SaintBruce]

Do you even have a point anymore?

As long as your conceding that Huggins is a has-been, no. That was my point.

This...

Just give up.

Couldn't find the answer on wiki, or you just didn't want to?
