I could really care less what uniformed people think. I know multiple people that have coached with him and heard plenty about his character.

Exactly what is there about him that causes you to think he is an inappropriate representative for high school coaching? If you wouldn't want your son to play for him as an ex-college level coach, he must have some very serious character flaws. You really need to elaborate if you are going to make these type of character assassinations.

I don't need to elaborate to the uniformed on any facts that I know about him.

Character assassination would be saying what I know, which I have not done. He's as two faced as his mentor on and off the court and I'll leave it at that.

Agreed. I never thought I'd hear you say anything like this about the previous staff lol.

I have no issue with the previous staff other than the mess they created for the basketball program. Not knowing them personally, I'm not going to attack their character, except for Pearl. We do know about Pearl and that resulted in my total lack of respect for him. However, I don't know the involvement of the assistants in this mess. If they are the same as Pearl, I would agree that they probably should be completely out of coaching. However, not knowing that, I choose not to throw out such ridiculous posts as attacking their character to the point that they are a threat to high school students and are a terrible representative for high school sports. They,very noticeably, were not charged with unethical conduct by the NCAA, as Pearl was.

You are uniformed, which isn't your fault.

Nice to see that you and Jones are on a first name basis with one another. You ought to listen to what JZVol says before making yourself look foolish. He knows what he's talking about.

I agree with this. The guy used to hit on an ex-gf of mine who was a bartender and the kind of stuff he would ask her was insane. I lost all respect for him a long time ago.

Never, he's got to be a saint since he coached at UT.

Exactly what, about him, other than the fact he coached at UT leads you to think he is a quality person?

I don't know if he is a quality person or not and don't claim to know. I'm simply indicating that you should give some reason for making very negative statements about him other than simply making them. You may very well have excellent information to cause you to have your opinions of him. I simply don't take a general statement with no explanation of character flaws as a reason to believe he is not a quality person. Simple as that.

You're Right and what kills me about these dumb posts bashing the post Bruce Pearl staff is that they are making assumptions about Tony and then asking us why we're assuming he's a good person. Stupid argument.

Same here. Then, instead of a tip he leaves his business card. I had a good laugh about it.

That's funny. I had forgotten about him doing that. I don't believe he ever did that to my ex, but I remember hearing about him doing that to a few other female bartenders. I heard that he never tipped anyone, and none of them liked to serve him.
