'In past years, students would go to a mens game at Thompson-Boling Arena to do their homework and study, because it was quieter than the library. Now, the place is rocking every game. Just look at some of Bruce Pearl's accomplishments:
- 3 NCAA Tournament appearance, two of them advancing to the Sweet 16.
- Has taken the Vols to their highest NCAA Tournament seed in school history, twice. (#2)
- Was named National Coach of the Year by The Sporting News last season.
- His teams have led the SEC in scoring offense all 3 seasons.
- Managed to get under the skin of Kevin Stallings, and John Calipari.
- Guided the Vols to the best record in school history last season. (31-5)
- Took the Vols to its first ever #1 ranking last season.'
Good stuff! Thanks :hi: He really brought up some painful memories in the article, especially when it comes to coaching. Makes you that much happier that we are where we are today.
