if pearl didn't have the show cause i'd be all for it. also, as someone else mentioned, he will likely end up at an adidas school.

But he does so this discussion of replacing a possibly fired TJ after this year is moot. I think we're probably jumping the gun and TJ will be given another year but who knows.

I think so, but it's fun to speculate

If Howlqnd gets the boot or decides to leave UCLA, I'd go hard after him. Seth Greenberg is another good coach that is stuck at a school that just won't ever be very good.

I originally thought that too, but did you read that SI article about Howland and UCLA that came out this week?


Dude has no control over his players. Plus, he sounds kinda nuts.

I would much rather Tim Floyd over Bruce Pearl.

He must have read it if he is already speculating that he may get canned, but he still somehow came to the conclusion that should be our next hire.

No, I have minimal information on the situation with Howland at UCLA. I was under the impression a couple kids were potheads and he flipped out on 1 kid. What's the real scoop?

Before you jump on the Bruce Pearl bandwagon check his NCAA tournament record against opponents from major conferences. You might be surrprised.

I'd personally live with him not being able to recruit off campus for two years. I don't think we'd get any additional penalties.

Pearl can't recruit at all until 2014, on or off campus. Which means he can't meet or even speak to any players.

That won't work ( and I like Pearl).

You would think that people would take that fact seriously after the shite that Gathers said this past month.
