BPV brought the thunder. Mysteriously it hasn't been addressed, though.

It serves no purpose to answer his posts. He simply ignores the answer and continues with his pathetic defense of Pearl. I find it shocking that he would have two degrees from any institution of higher learning. Apparently, dementia has set in if that is true. None of his comments makes any sense and he has a total lack of reading comprehension, even of his own posts.

I answered the question. Pearl has gone one game farther in the 'AAs than Jerry Green, who's a pathetic coach. I somehow don't find that a compelling reason to keep him at any cost like you do.

It just determines what your measurements of success are. He won virtually at the same level as Pearl as evidenced by his winning percentage. He won the East multiple times. He swept Kentucky one season, something Pearl has never done. Pearl outperformed in the NCAA tourney; that's legitimate. But, what separates people's opinions are Jerry Green's personality vs. Bruce Pearl's. Body paint vs. redneck jerk.

Right on it again LawVol. Green was a really good recruiter with an offensive mentality. He got sideways with the good ole boys, lost his diplomacy, and basically said pay me - I'm gone blankety blanks. Had there been a different AD and point men in the media, we would not be talking about Bruce Pearl today because Green would have established a legacy of winning without the lying/cheating baggage. The players loved his style and system.

Would u rather have a coach have a decent regular season and go deep in the tourny or vice versa. Complete garbage? Not in my opinion.

My favorite Jerry Green fact is that he couldn't get an interview at St. Bonaventure when they fired JVBK. His post Tennessee career is a testament to his awesome abilities.

Mine is that he proved UT can win, even uncoached, then departed (not of his own volition).

So to take this one step further. Since I sat through the 5 win season at TBA forward to today, which I am sure very few of you have.

Green had to come in here and take Houston/O'Neill half courters and convert to his modified, uptempo Dean Smith system. When Green took off nearly all of the media, athletic department, fans, etc. wanted Dean Smith clones in here that ran the same system as Green/Roy Williams - all off the same Dean Smith tree. So they went and got Buzz who had the local connections to the Bowers family. Not utopia around here after a few years and Bruce appears. What had happened during that Buzz period? Buzz recruited players for his half court system, while the recruits were more suited for transition. It didn't work and we were mediocre. Bruce walks in and takes transition guys and fits them into his full court, transition type system. Makes out like a bandit because he had guards that were 3 point shooters that could run the floor. Add in a little personal showtime for the media to buy good feelings. Now here we are 6 years in and guess what - yeah - we have Buzzball players with a transition coach. Add in the scandal - and it is a national college basketball scandal. Then some people come on here trying to convince others that we should back Pearl after he laid a big one UT. At least Green won, kept it clean, and was bringing the kids in that would fit his system. Over time that usually leads to long term success.

You know its true.

Yeah, I often think longingly about all the titles UT would have won if Green could have hung around and brought in a steady stream of Elgrace Wilborns and Andy Ikeakors.

Good story. I for one will never tell u that u have to back pearl. In fact i couldnt care less either way really. I would however like some people around here to not ignore facts just to support an argument. Case in point leaving out the fact that he went as deep as ut ever has with a team that wasnt a so called transition team. You know its true!

Wilborn was one of the worst offensive players I've ever seen.

Pearl is the best coach UT has had, especially by tourney standards; doesn't mean we can't do better, given he is likely a dead man walking anyway.

Good point. That explains you explaining how Tennessee basketball has done nothing since Ray Mears.

As down as I am on Pearl right now, I think that getting worked up over that "bump" violation is idiotic.

my latest understanding is that Pearl didn;t report this bump to Tennessee for several weeks. that is becoming the issue with the "bump"
