Looks like we have our man...I have to admit, MH made a fantastic choice, here. Knight may have been better short term, but UT has finally served notice to the NCAA that they are ready to bang.

Glad to hear we've ended our search...Pearl showed a good outing in the tournament....With some of the talent we've got, he shouldn't have a problem getting there again

 

[Vol67]

Don't look for one next year. He is good but not a miracle worker. Ut has no inside game for next year unless pearl finds a diamond that hasn't signed

 

[toddbond007]

i think he can recruit a decent post up player... helluva coach
