BPV,
I was on ignore when I posited Hat liked Illinois and hated Pearl because of the Deon thing. Hat confirmed it when someone else broached the question. Said he was in school in the Chicago area around the time it went down. I do not have the time to look it up, but it was in one of the epic Unimane threads. I have never said he is primarily an Illini fan, in fact I may be a bigger fan of that team than he is (do not suffer under rooting for Zook though).

Gems I wish were all in the same thread are the one where Hat cried about Bruce Pearl spending time in OCI, and the one where he said never apologize, it is a sign of weakness.

I did like that he said he was wrong about Knight jr. in his recent trap. The guy knows a ton about basketball and if he avoids the ad hominem I really enjoy reading most of what he writes.

I like TN, RMK, Coach K and several other coaches. I like Pearl, just hate the halfcourt game we play.

Oh. You think Im about beating ETSU and Vandy in TBA. You're wrong. Poling up regular season wins is cute, but meaningless.

Answer my post about what happens o the two ends of the floor tat helps us win big games. You can't. You're a basketball watcher, nothing more.

So a game to get to the sweet 16 isn't a big game to you? Or beating Fla or Mem or any of the other big teams we've beat? When is it a big game? Oh, I know, whenever CBP loses. You sound so bitter and clueless saying we have no good wins.
When we hit shots or face a team without great ballhandling, our system can beat anyone. See all big wins I mentioned+. When they break the pressure, we still often win with rebounding and man2man D. We usually win. Apparently, acc to you, when we lose it's not because we didn't shoot well or somebody on the other team got hot, it is all scheme. Who never played ball again?

So you're training him to be belligerent and illogical too? Usually kids go the opposite of the way you push them. Have fun with that.
I love the way these brilliant ones try to bring others into agreement with them. Such obvious need of approval by your peers is clearly a bad case of low self-esteem. "See, my 5 year old think you are funny too." Yeah, but he also laughs at Blues Clues, so what does that really mean? I feel sorry for your kid. Such bitterness and ego in the household can't be healthy. What did the wife think, btw?

So you guys think Duke fans are mad at Coach K for coaching the Olympic team? Yet another CBP basher double-standard...
BTW, Did any of you ever answer the "WHO DO YOU HAVE IN MIND AS A REPLACEMENT" question? I never hear an answer to that, only that it's a dumb question. Lots of people asking for such a dumb Q, imo.
Why don't you get over yourselves and answer it? Because you know your answer will be laughed out of here, right? So keep trying to change the discussion to "Those guys are so dumb. Who agrees with me?" So impressive you can get this crew to agree when you say the same tired arguments they post on every CBP article. You guys make me proud to be a VOL. Now answer the frikkin question.

The day that the Maccabi Games are on the same level of the Olympics is the day that pigs fly and that very same day will be the day BP learns to coach a halfcourt system.

RMK= bob knight?
So you like two HOF coaches over CBP? Really. Brave choices, sir.
I would hate Bob Knight as a coach, as would most players. Yet another sign that you don't really play ball, at least on a high level. Sure, a 5' 10" set-shooting wanna-be overachiever would love Coach Knight. No one without daddy issues would ever want to play for that guy, especially today. Sure, getting yelled at by your peers used to be the bee's knees, but kids nowadays want respect. Coach Knight is the classic example of the coach some fans love but all players hate. You are showing your age with that pick.

Notice who's on your side on this, "VOL FAN"? I would be sad if I had to reach out to other trolls for support. But you guys sure seem to need those voices of agreement to validate yourselves, regardless of who they are... Way to go. Trolls love your views. Name a perfect coach, one we can't criticize. I'll bet it has a lot more to do with recruiting class than coaching ability. Or is that yet another question that you will avoid?

Who a person roots for has no bearing on intelligence.

Now you are comparing a coach who has won multiple NC's, is a consistent Final Four participant, who coached the Olympic team; to Pearl who has never won anything of significance, is routinely bounced early in the tourney , and coached in the Israeli games while his prized player was stolen. Ridiculous!

More pure genius. Why don't you tell me about my age and My relationship to RMK and K. Follow that up with more basketball generalities.

Why don't you tell me what a great family man you are with the 40,000 posts here? Did the wife laugh at that? Teach your son to blog on a Sat morn. Throwing a ball around is way too involved.:good!:
It's not like you cracked some egg of knowledge with your coach picks. You could have been a fan of those guys 15 years ago. Just shows me that you are set in your ways, prolly why talking to you is so funny.

I'll take that as acknowledgement that you, again, have no freaking clue what you're talking about. I know everyone else is shocked.

Did you see how it ended for him? Just like always, with a player mutiny. It's no generalizaion. For every top recruit that would play for him, there are 100 who won't. That makes it tough to recruit, when the coach is a perceived negative. Do any of you really think he wouldn't be coaching still at a big time school if he were capable? You have the logic of a 16 year old. Pay attention so I don't need to address you anymore.

That makes as much sense as me taking this as acknowledgment that you think I destroyed you with the whole 'spend time with the family instead of posting 40,000 times' thing. Seriously, how do you find the time? I just have a gf, and about 200x less posts, and she's already sick of this. Must be some relationship you have there.

I just wanted to say that I joined this forum because I live in FSU country,Tallahassee, and I was lookin for Vols fans that might be close by in case I can't make it to the bowl. I was labeled "troll" and btw I'm from Kingsport, TN! I was born there in 82' and moved away 2 yrs ago for military. I understand that people dnt care too much for UF and others, but its not good for the forum making rude comments, especially living in this area where we get laughed at. It dnt bother me here though. Still wearin the orange in Walmart and Macys. Luv my Vols!!!

Ha...I wonder if you coached or played. If I had a high school team where Skylar McBee was the most athletic guy I had, I would be an idiot to try to use Pearl's system.

When you are trying to bring in Hopson's and Tobias Harris's it makes up for a lack of perfectly executed slow possession offense that they would never come to run or play in.

I do not see why this point is hard to understand, but each time I ask for examples of better coaches than Pearl I get answers like the coach at Butler...he is playing a style of ball that would not be attractive to Tobias Harris. Brad Stevens would not be able to bring guys to UT.

Listening to people talk about how much they hate Pearl's offense is hilarious. How does he average so many points with a crap offense?

This is like people hating Tom Osbourne because they believe the option is outdated and they want to see more long passes. It is truly amazing.

Go back and read the post you replied to VolDad, and you replied EXACTLY like he said ultra Pearl supporters reply.

VD said they generally show a lack of basketball IQ, and your reply to him you actually indicated you would rather have an exciting team than one that just simply wins. Your statement pretty much said you'd rather have an exciting, undisiplined team than a dispilined, and in your words "boring" team. You follow that up with a soccer analogy that pretty much was nothing but rambling and a weak attempt to back up your point.

You then end with doing another thing VD said you would, claiming things will get better when Pearl gets a PG. VD said guys like you say "things will get better" without backing it up and you did just that. You have nothing to back up at this point that Pearl has demonstrated he can bring in a good PG.

Everyone of your posts turns into some drawn out wall of text and you rarely even stick to the point. If you notice, most of those critical of BP usually have much shorter posts that DO get to the point.

You have so many good reasons not to answer legit questions. Poli Sci major? You are but a leech on a decent thread. Become a player. Say something besides "How stupid. Not worthy of response." That is the answer of the brainless. Nice for when you can't think of answers that don't show your IQ problems, but I think you can do better.

You mean like claims of racism being the main reason someone doesn't like someone, even when there's zero proof, other than your all-knowing "hunch", and a mountain of reasons why criticism is valid?
