The first 3 years of bps tenure tba was so loud and always rockin the whole game.

Now its like a status thing to go to the game. I've never seen a more boring quite 20,000+ basket ball crowd in my life.

So much for a home court advantage.. pathetic

What do you mean "quite"?

I think it's the student section. They suck. I know they are in an awful part of the arena and not at full strength, but there are enough to get loud, I guarantee other fans will as well if the students take over. They have no energy, never have any chants, don't do anything together. It'd really help if the students were the leaders.

Watch UNC games, and Duke games and Kansas games.....look in the crowd and what do you see? Young people.TONS of young people. Now look at our crowd. Every night looks like family night. Im not against it, in fact, i think taking children to games is beneficial because we are creating future fans. Im just stating the facts. If we had a younger and more energetic fanbase we would be better off in the homecourt advantage area. Im not hating on the oldies(but goodies), they are fans too and i respect em for that. But you tell me this, when theres 10 seconds left and we are down by 1 and driving to score. Who's yelling louder? 60 year old man with wife, or 20something year old with friend?

It's also kind of hard to be rockin' when your team is playing like crap. There's no exciting plays and plenty of stupid stuff to be quiet about in the past few games.

You go to OU, enough said. Plus 95 percent of the student body could care less about basketball and would rather watch on tv than walk in the cold. It is sad, but it is true

You're right, and our student section is 100X louder and more active during basketball games which makes for a great environment. And when the rest of the crowd see and hears the students get loud, so do they.

UT's students are pathetic, enough said.

WOO! OU and MAC basketball. Attendance of 4,000. Sure sounds exciting. Send the body paint our way and I'm sure we will become much rowdier.

The bulk of our student body lives in Davidson/Williamson Counties (Middle Tenn) and Shelby (Memphis). We're all home for the holidays. The majority of our student section was sold to the general public for that game.

Besides, are they supposed to cheer Pearl's idiotic substitutions?

I have seen this comment about 50 times too many. By the way, pearl doesn't do any of the subbing. That is responsibility is left to Tony Jones. Jones is in charge of this because the rotation and minutes are set for the most part before the ball tips off. Having someone that you can trust this too is a great attribute because subbing a 10 man rotation can take a lot of time away from coaching the players on the floor.

By the way since "his" subbing is idiotic, what would your rotation be and how many minutes?

First of all, Tony Jones' main job is to HELP with substitution, it is not like Bruce has nothing to do with it.

As for your last comment, you cannot even ask that. Purely depends on the opponent, flow of the game, foul trouble, etc

Oh look! The ever clever "I bet you couldn't do better" argument. Always a sign of desperation.

Since I'm not the one getting paid millions to coach the team, the burden of proof is not on me.

Neither are you getting paid to critique, therefore I probably wouldn't unless I had an argument that I could hold. A 3 year old can say you are doing it wrong. If you are sure the substitutions and rotation is wrong then you must have a better way..please share.

I never said pearl had nothing to do with it. Of course pearl and CO. sit down and discuss the rotation before game day but once the game starts, like I said Tony Jones handles "most" of the substitutions. I'm sure there are situations where they both collaborate on who should be on the floor. Unless a critical situation arrises though you will see tony jones make all substitutions and pearl make 0.

So you don't think it's possible to formulate a starting line up, rotation, and substitution pattern? If you don't then you are in over your head. If thats the case then this staff has no Idea who and how much someone is going to play. The rotation is basically scripted with this staff, not every staff but this staff does. Of course this changes some throughout the game according to the things you said, foul trouble, flow, and of course performance.

I guess you never criticize anyone then, since according to your brilliant logic you either have to be a professional at said job or you have to be a professional criticizer.

Pearl is ultimately responsible for what happens on the court, regardless of who is doing the actual substitution pattern.

From the managers, to the players, to the staff, etc, all their job to do is to make Bruce Pearl look good, weather it is for the media, on court performance, etc

Once again you failed to comprehend the point. There is nothing wrong with criticism. The point was if you are going to state that someone is doing something wrong you obviously know a more efficient or different way of doing it. If you don't then how could you say it is wrong? Or according to your brilliant logic I can tell everyone they are doing something wrong or "idiotic" and not have and explanation as to why it is.

They should set the age limit to TBA and Neyland to 50. If all they are going to do is sit there and only cheer when we play well they should just stay home! To hell with their bad hips and knees, they should sacrifice for the team! Younger fans are definitely the better breed. Who cares about all the donations the 50+ make vs the 20-30 crowd who only buys single game tickets. They should all just give the seats they have owned for 20+ years away to the less fortunate. Hopefully the 50+ will just die off so someone else can buy their tickets.

I seriously hope all volnationers are smart enough to sense the sarcasm in this post.

No I understand you fine, I just believe you're selectively using this line of thought because in this instance, you disagree with my criticism. I doubt very seriously that every time you've criticized someone or something that you had in your mind a detailed plan of action that you would suggest as superior.

Not to mention I, along with several others, have stated several times that Pearl and McBee's minutes should be given to someone else as both hurt the team when they are out there, McBee moreso than Pearl.

I know.

Trust me, I cheer when I'm there. And depending on how much I've drank, I can be pretty crazy. But not everyone is. There is no way that all 20,000 or even the majority of them are going to be crazy and loud no matter what.

That is an easy target and criticism those are probably 2 of the weaker if not the weakest 2 players in our rotation. That being said if the rotation was 9,7, or 6 there would be a weakest 2. So who would you give those minutes to? Outside of your judgement of them as players in what way could you justify this change? Bigger line up, rebounding, defense, scoring etc?

Nice of you to ignore the first part of my post, so I'm going to assume I was dead on.
