I have nothing against Cuonzo, but have this feeling. He seems like an incredibly likable guy who had a short run of success at a smaller school.

CCM wasn't given job because he's from the Dean Smith tree.

He's a lot more tanned than I remember Buzz being. If it is Buzz, he must be trying to one-up Pearl.

The argument on Cuonzo as a coach will not be settled via posts on a message board, newspaper articles, or any stats you want to throw out there. He is not a proven commodity. Whether he was a good hire or bad hire will be determined by the results on the court.

To make this comparison after the guy has had 4 days on the job would be impossible as you already know. I do believe that both of these men are decent and honorable. Can decent and honorable succeed in today's SEC? I would like to hope so. He is going to be faced with challenge that all coaches at UT have, he isn't going to have many if any big time players at his door. He will have to make a decision on how he goes about getting his players. Does concentrate on a particular area? (Atlanta/Chicago having he and his assistants becoming well known to the coaches in those areas) Does he just go after the players that he sees fitting in what he is trying to do, no matter where they are?

If he succeeds in getting players, along with his other qualities, the skys the limit. The strange part about Buzz Peterson was that he left several players (Loften/Smith/Bradshaw/Wingate) that provided Pearl with just what he needed for his system and early success. I am afraid that Pearl (unless the 2 NBA possibilities stay) has not returned the favor to Coach Martin.

I'm starting to believe the key to success in March is to recruit 3 point shooters who will play defense, find one NBA player, and let them go.

Ok I'll convince you. Buzz was white, that should automatically tell you it's not the same person.
