Yeah he called me a complete idiot and said I didn't know anything about basketball a few weeks ago after I said Trae Golden was not a natural pg and that attendance was going to be down this year because of the CCM's style of play.

yeah he has called out many that does not agree with his way of thinking. There is a reason why he has over 15k posts and only 1,700 likes.That tells me not too many people agree with his way of thinking.

Because Chris jones was no longer going to come to Tennessee. He convinced him out of high school to stick to Tennessee, but once he was in eligible it was a whole new ball game.

I think Forbes may have steered him away from UT too. Forbes and Shay were bitter and you can't blame them because they took up for their coach and got axed. If Jones is as good as advertised, he'll only be at Louisville for one year.

He is one of 3-4 posters that try to control the bk boards and make them their own. I rarely come over here anymore it's just not worth the aggravation.

I'm sure that had a lot to do with it but CCM didn't even try after CJ went to JC. I think he thought he was to offensive minded and didn't want to play defense. I would like to see a little offense myself.

I agree he was incredibly stupid but he was also a hell of a coach. Another program will give him a shot, and there is no question of that. I suspect whichever program does make that choice will be glad they did.

He'll end up at Memphis and destroy our souls

I'd like to see someone be able to handle the ball without turning it over. It's embarrassing to be at this level and only have one guard that can really handle the ball. That's inexcusable.

Bama has good guards. They beat us where I thought they would and turned us over. However, if we don't have that stretch where we turn it over 3 straight times we still could've won because we outshot them and outrebounded them by 15. FT shooting was terrible too. 8-16.

Clean up either the FT shooting or turnovers and you get a road win. Just frustrating watching this team.

BTO think he is some kind of basketball guru and he is just pissed because Martin isnt getting the job done.He has been running from thread to thread defending him.He lost it when I said a couple of weeks ago that Tn will do well to win 13 games and will not make the tourney and wanted to bet money and all that crap.He went on to tell me they were projected a 6 ot 7 seed and said Tn will win 20 games.Its not working out to good for him and Martin.

Exciting basketball, making the tournament every year, made the Vols relevant

Settle for Counzo, then you settle for average

i tell you what , I will make a bet with you on that if you want to make a bet that Tn does not make the tourney and ends up as a 6-7 seed ?
you sound like a 12 year old thinking, well I will throw a bet out there to show that I know what Im talking about.So far your prediction is falling a part every game.

BS dude, when I said Tn will do well to win 13 playing like this you went on your wanting to bet and ask me if I knew where Tn was projected in the tourney and you said Tn was a 20 win team.Dont ask me to show you a link because you dont matter that much to make me want to go back and look. But yes you said it.

You are probably right that we should stop pining for Pearl to return. Please forgive us.....we simply remember what a well-coached and motivated team could do.

No.... I think they just suck. PG play is abysmal and Stokes just doesn't look like he's ready to take over a game.

Stokes needs to work on hitting FT before he can even dream about "taking over a game". He is a detriment with the way he shoots FTs and will not play at the end of close games until he improves.

If you think 19 wins will get UT in the tourney, you're kidding yourself. The SEC is too weak and it will take at least 20 wins to even have a chance and we all know that ain't happening.

I am not saying Pearl didn't have his flaws or Cuonzo can or can not get job done, but IT WAS A COOKOUT WITH A COUPLE OF RECRUITS THAT WERE THERE A LITTLE EARLY. He was not paying recruits, having strippers over at house, or having grades changed at recruts high school to get them in. He should have told truth, he justed panicked I guess because it would have just been a secondary violation. AGAIN, IT WAS A SECONDARY VIOLATION THAT HE COVERED UP NOT A MAJOR VIOLATION.

Not to mention Mike Hamilton going crazy over the so called major "bump rule" violation which turned out to be minor and never even showed up on the final NCAA report. Mike Hamilton was just weak in all areas of his job. This doesn't excuse Bruce Pearl but 3 years for what he did compared to what other coaches have done is excessive. Once his show-cause is over he will be hired by someone unless he gets black-balled which is a possibility.
