(PineyBluff Vol @ Feb 8 said:Not only is Coach Pearl a great coach, he is also an historian. He sought out the wisdom of a coach who was noted for his basketball ability and intense rivialry against teams that were true rivals with the Vols. Also got some fashion flair from this former coach. Of course, Ray Mears, the father of Big Orange Country is who I am writing. That tells me this coach cares about UT athletics and how much he wants to put UT back where it belongs. I know he will enjoy talking too Coach Mears about this win. I am just so proud of what he has done and how the players have responded to his coaching. :hi:
He talks about Coach Ray Mears like they have been best friends for 20 years. :biggrin2:(Orangewhiteblood @ Feb 8 said:All too true. He has really put in some time to understand where we've been and where we're coming from. Sometimes when you listen to him after a game comparing this year to last year, you'd think that he's been following us for a while. My guess is that he's watched tape from last year, looked at the stats and shook his head in disappointment.
