Can't help myself...

I like Bruce Pearl. Just got finished watching his pre-UK press conference, and as always, he was very respectful towards UK, the fans, the team, Rupp Arena, etc. I've always liked the way he coaches and wouldn't have been upset at all if UK had hired him. Not that I'm not thrilled w/ how it ended up, but if Drew had accepted Barnhart's offer, I would have been...disgruntled...that he was offered and not Pearl.

One thing I really like about Pearl is I have literally never seen him have any voice left after a game. And it’s not because he’s berating players or refs or anyone; he’s just that into it. Hard not to like that.

I completely agree. If Mitch would have hired the vanilla Drew over Bruce it wouldn't have settled well for me anyways. I'm still surprised Pearl hasn't won a title. I believe this to be his year obviously.

That used car salesman slime ball will NEVER, EVER get a look from UK and wasn't even the 50th choice this last time.

I’ve always felt that he was one of very few coaches that could coach and recruit at a high level and also has that charisma. Most older coaches don’t have the charisma and most younger don’t have the track record yet. I felt when we hired Cal and all thru his tenure that Pearl was the coach that compared most to him

I like Pearl. Great coach, and seems to love the game and the fans. Also, he one of the few guys out there built for the UK job. I love Pope being at UK, but do enjoy Pearl being a big fish in college basketball. He's much more likeable at Auburn than he was at Tennessee.
