Not sure why Calipari isn't in your top 5 either. He may be the slimiest of them all, but there's no denying the man can coach.

You've got to be kidding me with that last paragraph.

Kidding you? Are you happy with these guys with their thug look? A bunch of guys running around with tattoos, arm sleeves, and headbands. A bunch of wantabee Allen Iverson's.

Would you be happy if your daughter brought home someone who looked like Tyler Smith? With the Bloods Street Gang tattoo on his face. Knoxville aint damn Riverbend.

I dont have a problem with any of our players as long as they behave themselves. But for the perception of Tennessee I'd rather see more Skylar McBee's than Ramar Smith's.

You said we should get Northern Iowa type players. I'd rather set the stadium on fire.

Hes been outcoached before by Pearl.

Calipari is an average coach but he always gets the top talent, there isnt anything special about him as a coach.

And Williams and Calhoun were out-coached by nearly everyone this year? What's your point? Its not about head-to-head match-ups, its about final four appearances and bringing home championships.

Unfortunately getting top notch talent is about 75% of the job as a college coach.

Im not stretching it at all. Look at how much he has gotten out of these guys he recruits, there are guys on this team with 0 basketball IQ and hes getting the to play defense and score baskets.

I dont understand the criticism of his record each season when people fail to ignore hes coaching under priviledged kids with limited basketball knowledge outside of scoring. The fact he was able to keep a gang member in Tyler Smith out of trouble for so long deserves him credit too. He transformed Smith from a gangbanger into a person who could maybe become productive in society.

I'd rank the Top 5 coaches in college basketball:

1. Coach K
2. Jim Calhoun
3. Tom Izzo
4. Bruce Pearl
5. Roy Williams

So you rank him with coaches that have won multiple championships, yet he can't even get past the Sweet 16.

You can go on with your comments, but I'll tell you this here. If we werent winning basketball games like we are now, none of this damn behavior would be accepted anywhere near the UT campus.

A bunch of boys wanting to look like thugs and embarrassing the school off the court.

I'd rather have smart guys on this team from good backgrounds, that are smart enough to play the game of basketball rather than streetball.

Calipari has never been to a Final Four.

Do your research boy.

If Northern Iowa wasn't winning...

Oh wait, no one gives a crap about Northern Iowa... Probably because their irrelevant.

Ya, because white guys never celebrate after baskets or have tats. I'll admit when I think of the teams I would like Tennessee to be like UNI is always the first to come to mine because they are a perennial powerhouse. I wouldn't want our players to be anything like Kansas, I think Collin's has a tat or two.:disappointed:

You see any white guys out there running around covered in tattoos howling like my hound just because they got a dunk? I aint seen not one.

If we do get a new coach one day hopefully he'll exclude recruiting some of these kids unless they have the academics and basketball intelligence to play at Tennessee. Im not the only person on this site tired of the Ghettoball, if they want to play Ghettoball they can take that foolishness to Memphis.

You've still gotta be kidding me. Either that, or you're living in 1965.

Sorry, but I'm not interested in the blatantly racist theory of "streetball" and "thugs" who need to be replaced by Skylar McBee or Northern Iowa (meaning: white) players.

Now, if we're talking headbands.....THAT'S thug.........

I hope people's sarcasm meter is on.

That foolishness leads to 32-2 records and #1 seeds.

That's funny, I thought the same thing. Check out Robert Swift too.

Seriously, we need to hire Normal Dale, pronto. Maybe we can get Ollie at the 2 spot.

I think the guy's on to something, though. I know I will certainly be satisfied if UT players have all A's and B's on their report card. I would feel good about them dating my daughter, too, and, in the end, isn't that all that matters?
