If you think that his religion has ANYTHING to do with peoples feelings towards Pearl and his position at UT you are either insecure or stupid.
I would say based on your litany of laughable posts on this board that it's a combination of the two.
So what specifically is your reason for disliking CBP?
6. Bill Self's decision to play a YMCA 2-3 and let Tennessee shorten the game was utterly baffling. It allowed UT to minimize the effects of their foul trouble.
He does overlook our dribble penetration as the cause for this^^. I'm sure if KU had a coach like Hat they'd win them all.
BTW, who hates on the halftime kids? It's a college game, old man.
I don't dislike Pearl. I don't understand the nouveau UT basketball fan that seems to think Tennessee couldn't hit a basket in a pickup game at the rec center before Pearl came along.
Pearl has done a lot, but he has also failed to take us any further than Green at a much higher pricetag.
Ok, I understand it may not be a rosey as some make it out to be, but 1. We have had some miserable teams and years since Ray Mears and co. 2. If you think Bruce is not a very good x's and o's coach then please don't reference Green in the same paragraph 3. We currently have the 4 or 5th highest rated recruiting class coming in next year. Please indicate when we have done that previously.
4. Our winning percentage at Thompson Boling during Bruce's tenure has to be around 90 to 95% and the arena is typically full. 5. Green was a jerk who wanted me to go to Walmart if I didn't appreciate his coaching.
6. Not Pearl's fault that there has been tremendous salary inflation for head coaches in both FB and BB since Green was coaching here many, many years ago. 7. You may not like our offense but I would think that college age kids would find it very appealing. 8. So I guess we are left with what? He has not gone very deep into the tournament. Yes I agree with that but I think this may be a little bit of " Peyton has never won the big game" mentality.
I don't mind the critics and I think that is a good thing, but by the same token I appreciate fairminded criticism.
I think this board is at times taken over and defended by either the haters or the lovers and just like with politics the vast majority of us live somewhere in the middle.
Great win - FEAR THE ORANGE

I'm really happy for this guy. Without him we lose tonight. Thanks for the break-down. I find it funny after such a great win we have people having threads about Pearl-Haters...besides the kids won the game did they not?

To say the Vols are the same in terms of their wins, tourney play, recruiting, national presence, or standing in the SEC as they were under Jerry Green is just plain wrong. I was a fan then as well, and the Toni Harris led Vols were awful to watch. You think Chism does dumb stuff now, that whole team was a bad decision waiting to happen. Where do you get your idea of what it was like with Jerry Green? Is it just that 12 year old bliss you are recollecting?

good grief this is some really poor work.
I know you assume everyone here that disagrees with you is a basketball newbie, but you'd be wrong about that too. Guess the shoe fits.
Obviously you were too drunk to pay attention to that train wreck of a squad we had. How else could anyone who was around for the Jerry Green era think it better or even equal to now?
Because the tournament results are the same. That is how you judge a basketball team, not on regular season victories.
But they weren't. JG lost to lower seeds every year, once getting beat by 30 by sw missouri. CBP has made two sweet 16's to JG's one, and if your argument is the clownish "sweet 16's mean nothing" that I hear your fellow haters espouse, then you already lost this argument and your personal battle with idiocy. What is wrong with you haters, anyway? CBP is the man, and you are all fools for missing out on the best run UT's ever had because of some stupid stubborn bias you hold.
