People in Knoxville love him and he still has a home there in Gettysvue subdivision on the golf course. He downsized recently but still has a $1m dollar home there. Probably waiting for the Michelin man (Tyndall) to fail...sounds like he is already in trouble.

And Pearl is still a member of Cherokee Country Club. I watched the UT game there last year and he was there with a group of people watching. People love his a$$.

He would dominate at Memphis. And he does like Memphis.

That was before he got hired at Auburn. If he still has a house, it's because he can't sell it. His daughter is in school and his son doesn't live in Kville anymore. He's an Auburn resident by all accounts now.

If he still has a house, it's because he can't sell it. - WRONG

He had a bigger home and sold it and bought another place in the same neighborhood.

Property assesor says he sold it on August 29, 2014.

There we go. I stand corrected. He's not trying to sell this one yet, it's an investment. He just doesn't live there.

Since Bill Cosby hasn't been found guilty of anything, I don't get that reference. Quite frankly, I find it in ill-taste to mention the alleged wrongdoings of a man in his late 70s some 4 decades ago with no proof. In short, please leave this crap on the P&R board.

I meant no disrespect to Bill Cosby and believe he is a product of a witch hunt many years after the fact. Just a tongue in cheek reference to someone who has lost credibility whether it is justified or not. The U of M would not take a chance on someone with a record of lying (Bruce not Cosby) IMO. It was in ill taste and I apologize for offending anyone. I am a big fan of Cosby. He is innocent until proven guilty. I did not mention any wrongdoings of Cosby. I don't go to the trash on the smack section. I find it just as bad taste to mention replacing Josh Pastner after one game. The U of M is NOT GOING to replace him if he keeps winning. When the season is over it might be different but I think they would let him stay at least another year. It's ridiculous to start mentioning names of his replacement when the season is just underway.

Knoxville is a beautiful area. If I owned a home there & could afford to still own it even if I lived somewhere else I'd do it.

Of all the vacancies that were open this past season, no one took pearl except a bottom feeder. That should tell some of you what most of the schools think about pearl.

OP is spot on. Totally different circumstances than in 08. I really like the idea of waiting for Brad Stevens to get canned in Boston though. That's the match we are looking for.

This backs up the point I was making. With the pedigree above, you could reason that Cal should have had INSTANT success here. After all, many are claiming that if Pearl were to come here he'd have a team "ready made" for the Sweet 16 and beyond. I know I'm not the only one who recalls the "Final Four" chants in Cal's second year when we signed Dajuan Wagner. We know how that turned out.

Therefore, Cal had more experience than Josh did when starting the job at Memphis, yet Josh's first 5 years with the Tigers were more successful than Cal's first 5 years. There's no disputing that.

Josh's teams get blown out when we play good teams. Cal went to the the elite 8 in year six. This is year six for Josh. So according to the way you look at things, it is time for Josh to go to the elite 8 this year. And since we are comparing him to Cal and saying he has done better than Cal in his first 5 years, you should be confident enough to say he will continue to do better than Cal did going forward. Good luck with that. Josh won't come close to Cal's over all record.

Cal had to completely build a program from the ground up his first five years. Pastner did not.

Cal had a tougher schedule his first five years. Cusa was a cake walk for both eventually.

And most importantly, high school players could go straight to the NBA during Cals early years. Once the one and done rule was enacted, he thrived. Why Pastner lovers neglect to consider this is funny. It's a huge difference.

It's not an equal comparison and its lazy to just look at winning percentage.

Does anyone really feel in year 6 Pastner is headed in the same trajectory as cal was? Anyone expecting an elite 8 this year?

For those that are, please pass the dutchie to the left hand side.

Cal did not have a tougher schedule. It was a lot easier. When Cal did try to schedule top flight competition (Temple, Alabama, Iowa, Arkansas, Villanova, Missouri, Georgia Tech, Kentucky, Wake Forest, etc), most of them tanked and didn't end up ranked. Also, we often caught Louisville, Cincy, Marquette and DePaul when they weren't ranked. The numbers show that Pastner has consistently played tougher schedules, so your argument is false.

In other words, Pastner is 100% to blame for not having any experience at guard this year and having other holes in the roster...but Cal gets a pass because players went to the NBA. Complete nonsense.

Yes, by not factoring anything else into the equation, you are being very lazy.

Does anyone really feel in year 6 Pastner is headed in the same trajectory as cal was? Anyone expecting an elite 8 this year?

Possibly the biggest joke of all your arguments. Since 2006, Cal has won 31 NCAA games. Donovan has 2 titles but has won 26 games. Bill Self has won 23 and Roy Williams has won 22. He is the most successful coach in the entire country. Who is headed on the same trajectory as Cal? Not Coach K, not Roy Williams, not even Bill Self.

For those that are, please pass the dutchie to the left hand side.

I doubt there is anything left when you were done with it.

oh stammers. you silly little boy.

Schedule - let me guess. You're still using RPI for your argument like last week when you were shown how ridiculous that is for these purposes. But carry on.

One and Done - ahhh,the patented stammers move - take something out of context, through in superfluous stats, make a case that isn't being argued. Well done sir, well done. If anything you are consistent.

The one and done mention was brought up because of the broken record 'cal vs pastner first 5 years' argument. If Amare, Perkins, Woods, etc were required to be on campus for 1 year, you can guarantee there wouldn't be this stupid argument.

The fact Pastner has holes on this team and no point guard in year 6 is because the shine has worn off the new toy. But you keep on playing with it if it makes you happy.

Trajectory - haha, are you using Kentucky stats for Cal? I'm talking about Memphis only but stay off point, as usual. In year 6 with Laurenburg coming in, everyone had a feeling Cal was headed upward. In year 6 with a bunch of 'Tigers' on the team, do you have that same feeling with Josh? Please say yes. Oh please do...it would say so much about you.

Me and the NCAA tournament selection committee being called ridiculous by some message board loser that hopes that we lose every game. Funny.

You are the one that "throughed" it out there, and it was dumb. Next.

Broken record? EVERYTHING you say is a broken record. Your repertoire consists of exactly one topic. If Amare...fantastic argument; right after your moronic superfluous comment.

The fact Pastner has holes on this team and no point guard in year 6 is because the shine has worn off the new toy. But you keep on playing with it if it makes you happy.

We have two good point guards and Markel looks like he will turn out to be pretty good too. You and your buddies; who show up at the same time and post in a remarkably similar style, have NOTHING to say unless you are bashing Pastner...again, all in the same posting style.

Trajectory - haha, are you using Kentucky stats for Cal? I'm talking about Memphis only but stay off point, as usual.

Oh please do...it would say so much about you.

First of all, you're the idiot that brought up Cal. Second, who knows how this season will turn out? Only a complete idiot would write off the season BEFORE it started; considering that we have so many new pieces.

I know that you and the dozen or so very very similar posters are wetting yourselves in anticipation of us losing games. It must have been heartbreaking for you when we came back from being 6 down to Indiana State. [/code][/quote]

You dun gone and outsmartted everyones again.

Good job, travelocity.
