While I'm a big CBP supporter, I can't agree with this statement. With our facilities and pay rate, there are several coaches on a better level than Pearl that we could bring in. I'm not saying to get rid of him by any means, but there are better coaches out there. That being said, I love what Pearl has done so far and wish him great success at UT going forward.

And just how many of those "elite" coaches would want to come here and play second fiddle to Kiffin and Co.? Even with the facilities and the same pay they could get at a prestigious basketball school?

I understand what you are saying, but the logic that a great football program hurts bball here is flawed, even CBP and other good bball coaches have publicly said that. Other good/great programs at a school mean more $'s and attention which is a good thing.

I just don't get the "second fiddle" reference. It's obvious that we have money, have upgraded our facilities to near-elite status, and now get plenty of media attention. . . .not to mention that East Tennessee is a great place to live. There is no reason that, with the above, a D-I school can't compete in both basketball and football (see: "Florida" most recently).

he also had an AD who backed bball and wanted to see it succeed (which we haven't had at UT in a long time). Other good coaches have also recruited well to UT only to find no one had their back. Don't think CBP would have ever been hired under the previous admin

This is the key point, IMO. The difference in UT basketball in recent years is not even mostly Bruce Pearl as much as it is the difference between Mike Hamilton and the douchebaggery of Doug Dickey.

Stature of Kentucky? Tell me - without trying to argue their "past" - where are they at the present moment?

You forgot #11 - Hatvol admits the Billy Gillispie is not a "god" sent in the form of a basketball coach and admits it publicly!

You aren't trying to argue that Kentucky isn't one of, if not the, most prestigious college basketball programs in history just because they have had a few less than stellar years, are you?

No, but my use of Thnks fr th memories seemed to work so well to describe Fulmer's tenure, I figured I'd give Tanning Bed Bruce his own FOB song.

I didn't think you had FOB in ya, props. As much as people want to knock on them, they got some catchy music, and are well beyond being emo at this point.
