Give him one more year because of injuries this year. Next year the starting 5 is looking to be maymon, stokes, mcrae, golden, and either reese/moore/hubbs III. Next year could be a great one but if it is another disappointing season he will and should be gone. And then we can bring back PEARL:)

People talked about being ranked number 1. We were number one for like 3 days then we lost.

If somebody is not intelligent enough to understand the circumstances that led to this team being where it is at should really not act like their opinion about the coach is in ANY WAY relevant. We have one of the best SG's in the entire country coming in next year, along with getting Maymon back we will have one of the best teams in the SEC. But yeah, lets fire him. Great idea.

Hart must realize how proud this basketball program was a few years ago. It reached heights unimaginable. We were on our way to being a top 20 program. Does he realize that? Does he care? Believe me man, If I had my chance, Id walk into Dave Harts office and tell him what I really think of him, and yes, thatd Id make a better AD than him. Do you think hes all that and more? If it was up to me, Id fire him and Martin in the same sentence.

3 days in the history of UT basketball. It was a nice 3 days. May never see it again in my lifetime. At least I will always remember those glorious 3 days.

I'd pay to see that. Then I'd laugh my ass off at how foolish you'd look.

True, the current Pearl following knows no bounds amongst fans, alumni, and boosters.

I was part of a performance in the 2011 Outlive fundraiser. Black tie event with boosters and alumni. This was in April or May, so shortly after he was fired, but before the school year was over. In the middle of the show, he took a few minutes to say some things about the Outlive program (very nice speech, btw), and there were several donors from the audience saying things like "Come back, Bruce!" and "We need you here!"

I was pretty surprised at this at first, but it just goes to show you how sensitive of an issue this is.

Just being honest....other than this forum, I do not know one person that does not want Pearl to come back. Not one. I have never heard anyone that said that they wouldn't take him back. And I talk UT basketball all the time. My stance is I'm a Pearl fan. I wish him the best of luck in finding another job. I want to watch him coach again. I don't want him back at UT though because I don't think he can have the same success as before. That doesn't mean that I wouldn't take him back if he got hired. The most important thing for UT basketball is for CCM to succeed. Going through another coaching change would be devasting to the program IMO.

Cuonzo Martin needs to be fired at the end of THIS season if we do not or barely make the NIT. Its not working folks! This team is nothing more than a bunch of underachieving, weak-minded, bumbling soft tulips! Your star player is more worried about how his headband looks than the number of points he scores! Watch Stokes after a hard-fought lay in...he will go right after that handband and fix it so it looks even lol What a tulip!!

Marin shows no emotion on the sidelines and always comes up with "We need to start doing this more..and we need to start doing that more"....WELL THEN DO IT THEN!!!!! Hes lost this team, Im sorry. I see no improvements whatsoever. This team is EXCRUCIATING to watch anymore. We deserve better UT nation!

This team and program cant afford another season under this clown. Its time Hart man up, pay the man what hes owed and cut your losses. Time to take Hamiltons trash out and never bring the bin back in the garage.

This team is not playing well and is very difficult to watch at times. However, the mentality that we need to fire coaches every two years and pay them millions not to coach is not really the way to build a program or maintain a program. Martin has had lots of bad luck this season. I'm as disappointed as anyone on this team's lack of showing any improvement in any area. However, saying Martin should be fired is stupid at this point. We get our best player back next season, Stokes returns, and we are bringing in a 5* recruit. If we look this bad next year, perhaps, talking about Martin's possible short-term tenure will be appropriate.

Yeah and then the nation will see how you fired Martin before he even got 2 years to establish his presence in the program. And then other coaches will see that. And then you know what they'll say? They'll say "****, if this idiot AD isn't even going to give me any time to build the program, why the hell would I want to go there?" And then every good coach would turn down your offer. And then you'd end up with someone far worse than Martin. And then you'd be fired (hopefully). And then you'd go home and continue to *****.

We can do that, but 2 issues...

1. A lot of these "trolls" have multiple accounts so it'd be a bit skewed and...

2. Volnation is a site that attracts a lot of...well ya know. It's a free site so yea...but the vibe say on VQ or SCOUT would probably be different if I had to guess

CCM may not go that route of getting a academic border line kid in.

Pearl did get West in school. Gave him a scholly, but then West was pegged by the NCAA afterwards saying that he was academically ineligible to play. The NCAA removed West from the roster Oct. of that year. I'm sure Pearl knew where West was academically before the NCAA removed him from the team.

Ok so if NCAA did the same to jones you think he'd have hung around here for 2 years not playing ball?
