So that quote by Zo about "true" fans wasn't a real quote

Jerry Green brought some good basketball to Tennessee. Attendance was spotty and "love" was nonexistent long before he started calling out its fan base.

How many top 20 classes has Gregg Marshall, Shaka Smart, and Mark Few had? If next year turns out to be what most of you are predicting, then you can have at it involving his removal. The fact we're having this discussion while his team is preparing to play its biggest game in 3 years is a testament to this fan base's idiocy.

I could see Marshall and maybe Smart, but Mark Few hasn't won a damn thing. Not sure why you bring him up.

Elite coaches are measured by elite success in March. Marshall has been the closest to the summit and has a legitimate shot this year.

Considering his NCAA appearances and winning percentages at Tennessee, he wasn't a bad one. Few and Marshall didn't become elite coaches over night. Which is exactly why the jury is still out for Cuonzo Martin

Uhhhhhh...

Rucker is an arse but Martin doesn't get a free pass just by getting us in a play-in game. For goodness sake people are forgetting what we witnessed all year with the experienced team we fielded. It is a pattern we have seen for 3 years, late season wins just enough to keep it interesting but never over the hump.

I am glad that wasn't true, especially considering just read that Forbes said UT was one of the more valuable basketball teams..

In what world was Jerry Green a good coach?

And those guys don't have to play 18 games against major conference foes a season to even make the NCAA tournament. They also appear to be elite coaches, especially Marshall and Few. Which can overcome the lack to top 20 classes.

Zo is not an elite coach.

Green won with O'Neill's recruiting effort. Once it became more Jerry's team, the wheels started falling off.

Rucker is saying he was paraphrasing and that he can't read for the people that follow him. Just to review, here was the tweet:

'Cuonzo: I'm really happy for our true fans -- the ones who have been behind us the whole time'

I tweeted him that it's irresponsible but he takes no responsibility at all. It's our fault for thinking it was a quote.

Anyway, apologies to Zo. He didn't deserve the extra criticism coming his way from this "paraphrasing".

Rucker is the biggest douche bag in Knoxville and that is saying something considering John Adams. His "success" has really gone to his head over the years.

He is downright intolerable on twitter with this whole Cuonzo deal.

By the way, who are you going to root for if Tennessee draws the Dookies?

That's a very good question. I've been rooting for Tennessee longer and the win would mean more to them as an underdog, but Duke is my actual school.

Tennessee beating Duke could be a program-changer, but only if UT has a coach capable of building off of that (and I don't think they do). I don't think I'll know for sure until the game actually starts, but if I pull for Tennessee it'll be because of the seniors like McRae. But, don't blame me if I end up rooting for my alma mater.
