Pearl is the best thing that ever happened to TN basketball, did you watch us before he got here?


He definitely got owned by Brady his first year in the PMAC. I think that was the great throat slash game, too

Yeah, I like Pearl. A year or two ago, when ESPN was doing the full access with UT, they showed the team at a breakfast buffet. Pearl held up two yummy-looking, crispy pieces of bacon to the camera and said, "Now this is what you call a Jewish Dilemma."

First of all it was not bs at all. Secondly Pearl stepped out of the coaching box which is automatically a tech. Thirdly the reason Johnson was out of bounds was b.c he was pushed out and no call. So stop your crying take the loss like a man and move on.

the only reason he was in that position was because he was pushed in the back, and that wasnt called. so its a wash. refs were horrible tonight tho. on both sides. they were letting players get away with murder down low and calling ticky tack fouls from medium to outside range. the only thing consistent in SEC officiating is that its all bad. for all sports.

Some Vol fans agree with you...

Pearl Honeymoon is over ... Time to Start Coaching


That said, he's certainly got the basketball excitement level back up at Tennessee, so you've got to give him credit there. I don't know much about his X's and O's, but from everything I read he sucks in that department and the style of play that he likes to play isn't suited to win titles consistently. Would have never happenned and I like Trent Johnson, but I would've been excited about a Pearl hire at LSU.

yeah tennessee has been much better since he's been there. i'm sure he's a good coach but he is one annoying man when he is courtside. seems like a whinny baby. yelling at the refs after virtually every play. i dont even think i saw trent johnson or an LSU player complain once the whole game. i'm sure it happened but i didnt see it. and we got screwed on many calls too. so kudos to LSU for keeping their cool all game long.

He has revitalized their program, but yeah his teams have pretty much sucked in the postseason.

Anyone see the two handed shove by UT under the basket in slow-mo before a TV timeout?

We are not really all that good this year. May be NIT bound.

Why was he out of bounds? Maybe a foul should have been called on the Orange player who shoved him in the back.

Yes I saw the shove in the back of Tasmin Mitchell before the timeout, and also Chris Johnson being shoved out of bounds on the play in question on the T called on Pearl. Seems to me Tennessee got the benefit of the calls on the inside all night.

I'll give you this. You're correct about that. Kid was out of bounds.
