The Official Tennessee vs. Wichita State Game Thread, 2:00pm ET, ESPN2

A lot of programs have fired coaches because the NCAA was breathing down their necks.

It's as close to a complete impossibility as it gets.

So are you saying that hiring Bruce back would bring extra scruitny from the NCAA? What's the problem with that?

 

[Slydell]

Look, the funny thing is I loved Bruce, and I hated when we fired him. But you don't rehire someone that put you in a bad spot. Yes, the NCAA sucks. But our program made a decision to terminate him. You can't rehire him. It doesn't make sense. People think its that easy, and it isn't.

I'll have to reread my post. Perhaps I said something about hiring him back that I lost tract of. My thinking is that the whole thing was a sham from start to finish.

You don't think money talks?

No, not in this case. I also can't compare anyone to hiring Hitler. Again, Bruce was great for us. But we have to move on.

I guess hyperbole is lost on you. And please tell me what is more important to a basketball program than winning?

No, hyperbole is not lost on me, but I wouldn't use Hitler regardless. Winning is important, but hiring someone that you fire is probably not going to happen. I love Bruce. But seriously, lets get real.

I agree it probably won't happen. I just don't see why it is treated as a complete impossibility. He wins games. That's what is important.

What is that thing? I thought they were the shockers. That looks like a bundle of wheat?

nickname is actually the Wheat Shockers -- not sure if someone posted it in the thread, I just now remembered you questioning it

Someone will hire him. Maybe Memphis, but I hope we don't play him because if we do he'll kick our a$$.

There were too many times when the Vols looked lazy during yesterday's game. Not to mention unable to hit free throws.
