What has he won at this level? You might recall that our football coach had similar gaudy, overhyped numbers and NC, but that we were damn lucky to finally get rid of him.

yeah, they shouldn't even bother putting that misleading stat up. And no, I'm not a Pearl hater.

I'm just gonna say, that any coach that gets freaking UW-Milwaukee in the Sweet 16 has to be at least worth his weight in salt.

How is it misleading. He was coaching vs teams on same level as he was and a win is a win is a win

That is complete and total garbage. Everyone knows what the highest level of college basketball is. Giving the same weight to wins at Southern Indiana as victories at the D-I level is every bit as brilliant as declaring a seat on the Bucksnort City Council to be the equivalent of a spot in the United States Senate.

Very true. However, wouldn't those games count for at least something in his career?

I'm not saying they don't count for something. I'm not even saying they aren't impressive. It's just that mixing them into his record at Milwaukee and Tennessee as if they are equivalents is intellectually dishonest.

It would have been much easier to make that decision if Kevin had been around to coach the team he recruited. The fact a mental invalid like Jerry Green made four stright NCAA Tournaments with that personnel tells me the history of Tennessee basketball would have been considerably different.

My gut tells me Tennessee would have made at least one very deep run in the NCAAs, then Kevin would have left to take the Michigan job when Steve Fisher got fired.

I will never, ever, ever forget the one Green-coached UT team ('99?) that choked away a trip to the Elite 8 by blowing an 8-point lead in the last 3 minutes to North Carolina. I'm pretty sure I didn't sleep that night. But the talent was definitely there, just the wrong general leading the troops. Perhaps a better coach could have helped Vincent Yarbrough, who had all the talent in the world, realize his potential instead of being the lazy, half-assed played he was.

Nothing like choking away a 20 point halftime lead...
