We wasn't talking about previous games just this one. And I don't disagree that Martin sucks but Pearl is not Jesus Christ and you people need therapy for believing so.

I totally agree he is not Jesus Christ. But he did resurrect the UT basketball program. If the powers that be don't look to him for help they better be looking at someone very similar. We've got to have a high energy program promoting coach 24/7 to get it done here.

The program's only Elite Eight appearance, 6/6 getting in the dance, twice knocking off #1 teams, receiving ranking of #1 for the only time in program history - and people want to down Bruce Pearl. Most of the time doing it with inferior rosters. We have some fans that are truly idiots.

UT can make it right. They can swallow their pride and hire Bruce back, or, they can go hire a proven winning head coach that has experience winning in the NCAA tourney. Status quo will not work if they want the money to keep flowing.

Bruce Pearl had no idea whatsoever about how to coach offense. If we didn't make a transition dunk or three, we waited 33.5 seconds and jacked up a three from half court. It's all he knew. This roster is not engineered to run, it's built to win in half court. Pearl would be clueless as to how to use it, Kentucky would have prevented the transition today and beat us by 26, and Pearl would be 6-11 because unless he has a transition based team he is totally clueless.

We stopped pressing and pushing break his last 2 years here and still made the tournament. Try not to be ignorant to the fact that Zo couldn't hold Pearl's jock strap.

Not really getting too much into this argument. But that Oakland squad was nice that year.

Its in Dave Harts best interest to hire Bruce Pearl as UTs next basketball coach......

He should have never lost his job in the first place. Penalized? YES!!! Fired? NO!!!! Show-caused? Absolutely not!!!!!

They were 5-5 that season when they came in and lost 3 of the next 4 after they played us. They ended up an NCAAT because they won the Summit League but that was hardly a power conference, and they lost to every other power conference team they played that year

You think this team is less talented than Pearl's teams? Btw, thanks for the insults. Nice.

Hiring a coach from a mid major school from the midwest doesn't sound familiar? Pretty sure they went the same route.

I'm behind in this thread. But, I wanted to quote this post, for its absurdity.
Regardless of which side you take in this debate, this is simply not true.

He'd be 6-11 with this roster. On his last two teams there was pro talent everywhere. He'd actually have to coach offense with this team and would have no idea how.

Where exactly did I insult you? Because I don't agree? Than if so, yes. I did insult you then.

And this team is very much less talented than any of Pearls teams.

Um McRae is a crap load better then Scotty Hopson. You have no clue what your talking about. The year we went to the elite 8 not one player on that roster has ever played a NBA game. You need to quit embarrassing yourself.

That's the issue with this board. People believe you either got to be on the Martin train or the Bruce train. Some of us are on neither one. Bruce is not a good coach and Martin is even worse.

Bruce is not a good coach? You're on the crazy train.

He took Wisconsin-Milwaukee to the Sweet 16! Have you heard from then since??

Huge difference, Pearl made the NCAA tourney and won some games before coming here, not to mention winning the Div. II championship. His resume was much better coming here than Martin's.

But yet he took us to the tourney, had us ranked #1 beating highly ranked teams.. so if he had no idea of what an offense is... I'll take it.. cause this crap basketball has gotten us no where

Please just stop. It was an ignorant post and every time you defend it it gets worse. But just for the record, other than Harris, what NBA talent has magically shown itself?

The bottom line is that Tennessee is going to continue to get hosed by the zebras unless we get a coach who will stand his ground, not sit over on the bench like a wooden indian. If you watch Izzo, Coach K, etc... they work the officials throughout the game. A close game is almost always going to come down to a pivotal call. That call almost always goes against Martin. He doesn't fight for it. He expects his players to compete, but he doesn't give his all for Tennessee by doing his job and staying on the refs every second of the game. That's just a fact. He is not ready for this level of basketball.

The consensus all season has been that Martin needs to run more and play half court less.

I suggest dropping the 6-11 argument, because it makes you look like you just started watching basketball this week.

I saw too many missed layups and free throws today. CCM can't be on the floor to instruct the team on how to make layups and free throws. Kids have to step it up.

Bruce is not a good coach. Bad X's and O's, no offense and jusrt depends on chaos. He gambles more than he game plans. Some of you Bruce lovers should at least know that since you hang by his every move.
