Because we were pretty much mediocre before CBP got here. Wade Houston, Kevin O'Neill, Jerry Green, Buzz Peterson, all were mediocre except for Green but IMO he wasnt the recruiter that BP is. Also none of those coaches brought the kind of excitment that CBP has, making UT BB relevant in Knoxville and on the national stage. We were lucky to be on TV for the SEC game of the week, much less be the main game on ESPN. The UT BB coaching job has been open many times since the late 80's and we never filled the position with a big name, CBP wasnt even a big name when he took the job. IF CBP is canned, I just dont see a big name coming in and keeping us relevant. JMO
