Bruce Pearl: "I would not have done as good a job with these guys this year as Cuonzo Martin has done. I really believe that."

That's pretty awesome. I still love Coach Pearl.

I am really glad we have Cuonzo now though.

Good comment from Pearl, but does anyone else wish Pearl would go away. It's Coach Martin's time to shine.

Very, very classy thing to say if true. I've never understood the people--most of them gone now-- who hate Pearl the way they do.

Oh no, you can't say that on here. The few Bruce lovers will ignore that and turn it around some way.

The guy just gave Cuonzo the kindest endorsement ever which he didn't have to do. If he had sour grapes I would agree with you, but a supportive Pearl hanging around is fine with me. Maybe he can join the Vol network one day or something, Would be great color guy, but I love Bert

Agree, but I think Bruce has done fine keeping his distance (surprisingly enough). The man still has kids that graduated there, and I think he is still thankful UT gave him a chance. And right now, Coach Martin is letting his work speak for itself.

Bruce Pearl: "Tennessee is the 2nd or 3rd best team in the SEC and ... could have the highest (at-large) RPI in NCAA tournament history."

Steven Pearl is young and his father/coach got fired at the end of his senior season. Like many young people with twitter accounts, he engaged his mouth/thumbs before thinking it through and said some things that were very much a gut reaction to his father losing his job.

Give Bruce Pearl the credit for setting the correct example with the classy way he has handled his firing so far.

Bruce Pearl is a VFL. I appreciate him for what he's done to bring UT bb back from the dead. CCM has taken the reigns to this program & is showing he can not only do the job but maybe even take it to even greater heights. Bringing in more young men like J. Stokes won't hurt, either. Thanks to y'all.
