I am probably the only one but Bruce Pearl is heck of a coach. What he did at UWM and Tennessee is just short of remarkable in that timespan. I for one would love to have Coach Pearl.

Although I would rather have Buzz

I'm still waiting for Marquette's version of Jamie Dixon/Jim Boeheim/Jay Wright.

I'm hoping that the wait for that guy is over. That's why I don't want Buzz to leave.

12:27 Thursday March 17, 2011 12:27 Billy Mac why is it not realistic? The Arizona AD just stated Miller is not going anywhere... that is what I liked about Buzz's statement last year, it was straight to the pooint.

12:27 Todd Rosiak: Interesting that the AD said it, and not Miller.

I found TR's answer to this question very interesting, but i may be reading too deep into it.

Any chance he's suggesting Cottingham's silence could be telling?

Benford is an atrocious pick...he's shown little recruiting chops to date and lord only knows if he can coach....talk about a gamble, better odds investing with Madoff.

There is zero chance that Pearl, with his NCAA baggage, comes to MU.

Blackhat · « **Reply #31 on:** March 17, 2011, 02:17:27 PM »

I agree he'll never come to MU because the MU administration won't allow redemption...

but the media still loves Pearl and if you wanted to ensure basketball success he's a sure thing. Very impressive what Bruce has done at his stops.

I don't think he'll get fired anyway, SEC is numb to cheating by now.

besides being a Warrior fan I've been a Wake Forest fan since living in W-S during the Mugsy years and would hateto see Dino Gaudio here, I was in the camp that was glad to see him get fired after choking every March, he only got that job for the sympathy factor and to try to hold onto the incoming freshman class, actually a few similarities as to why Buzz got this job

A number of the media have caught on to him and written (finally) scathing articles about his practices.

Redemption?
Is that what they call handing a known liar and cheat the keys your basketball program these days?
Heck, why not Dave Bliss, Todd Bozeman or Clem Haskins?

Hiring Bruce Pearl as your head coach is kind of like sleeping with an experienced Filipino whore. You'll really enjoy the experience while it's going on, but you'll also know the entire time that it's dirty, and when it's over, you're guaranteed to come out diseased (or on probation).

Yes, it'll play on ESPN.

That'll certainly make the two years on probation much easier to swallow.

My guess is that the MU administration is fine with redemption...just not on their dime.

Bozeman is in the process of redemption. He's at Morgan State. You don't get redeemed at the highest level. You go back and pay your dues all over again.

JustinLewisFanClubPres · « **Reply #41 on:** March 17, 2011, 02:34:15 PM »

Anyone have any thoughts on Chris Mooney at Richmond? Doing a decent job there and MU is actually a step up from that program.

Otherwise, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot out there. Jesus, I hope Buzz stays.

Do you think Bozeman is ever going to get another high major gig?
Schools will put up with a lot of shenanigans for the sake of winning, but directly paying players' families and stalking (then threatening) coeds usually aren't among them.

HouWarrior · « **Reply #43 on:** March 17, 2011, 02:50:14 PM »

After reading all these threads, and our options, as much as it was sour to have to give it to TC, I, regretably, would be happy to see us give $, an extension (with significant--higher than TC's--buyout on early departure), to keep Buzz, and ensure 3 years plus of coaching stability, for the school, and stability for Buzz's family.
I havent seen any program get better with coaching instability, and if MU is ever to have a shot again at top tier program status...it starts here.

The Miller rumors are puzzling. Why would he leave Arizona? Great tradition, great fan base and super climate. That one does not pass the smell test.

I think a great candidate would be either Ralph Willard former Holy Cross coach and current Louisville assistant coach or Tommy Amaker current Harvard coach and former Michigan coach.

This wouldn't pass the "I've done keg stands and shots of Ceurvo all night" eye test. Can't make that list pretty.

Ever? He's only 47. There are certainly circumstances where I could see him getting another gig...but I don't think they will play out.

Can you even tell a good coach without them having to be in a BCS conference?
