So is TN really that poorly coached???

[SolidDog]

If MSU lost a game where they looked that sloppy.. made THREE turnovers in the critical last minute we would have 200 people on here talking about how it is ALL STANS fault.. so I guess it's Pearl's fault that Hopson makes stupid freshman mistakes, that his best player (T.Smith) choked in the clutch, etc...

...but Hopson was the shittiest player on the court when UT played Memphis last weekend.

who is a UT grad that Pearl has been playing with Buzz Petersons recruits and and his helter skelter ball with a bunch of great athletes has gotten him by until now. They have NO direction on the court and can not get by on that street ball mentality. She doesn't like the thugs he has recruited and any coach with some sense can out coach him any day.

...Pearl is an excellent recruiter. It's one of his biggest strengths. And their style of play isn't "streetball", either.

I don't think a whole lot of Pearl as a coach, but I couldn't disagree more with your assessment.
