Pearl's run ins are turning in Illinois for cheating, a BBQ that Aaron Craft and OSU turned him in for, and then having Chuck Person on staff for something Bruce Pearl had no actual connection to. Zeke got fired and has been sued for sexual harassment. I'm not saying either is a terrible person, but only one of the two has ever done anything that actually registers one as having questionable morals and it isn't Bruce Pearl.

Yeah.... anyone that thinks Pearl is a scumbag because of association with Person but doesn't think the same about Woodson and Buckner for their friendship with Zeke should probably stop with the moral authority.

But MSU is seeded below their metrics... The record does matter. It's not just your metrics or just your record. It's both. MSU being a 9 would reflect that, and so would us missing out on the tournament.

Even to use this year as an example, it's often the difference in how Ware scores and how Reneau scores. Not that Ware doesn't get back to the basket touches, but a lot of his damage comes in other ways. Now when you add his back to the basket touches, and all of Malik's, then it gets pretty ugly in terms of how we play.

2009 UNC if you consider that post dominant with Hansbrough, but that team got up and down and their three next highest usage guys were guards that could shoot the hell out of the basketball.

Did they open fire last night or was it a warning shot? We don't really know that part.

100% agree with you on this. Things getting leaked means someone wants them leaked. Everyone can draw their own conclusion about who wants things leaked and why....

Maaaaan even @IUFLA said he needed 10:1 odds to bet on us making the tournament next year. Not a single person on this board actually is confident next year gets better.

I hate to tell you this, but if the decision is to retain him I don't think the popularity of this thread is going down....

The issue is the BoT is above the AD and President, and Quinn "7 threes in 8 years" Buckner is the President of the BoT. And he apparently doesn't see an issue playing inside-out, at least not if the option to do otherwise involves firing his buddy.

Thoughts on sending Isaac Haas to the next BOT meeting?

I've seen people use the Alabama football comparison before Saban for us.... Well Saban only took the job because the admin/boosters got told to shut the hell up and stay out of his way. That's what we need.

This is the guy running our program? https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-05-04-sp-53708-story.html And Zeke is influencing them? https://www.sportskeeda.com/basketball/news-the-rise-fall-isiah-thomas-examining-sexual-harassment-accusations

You should check out why he got fired from the Knicks and listen to some of Woodson's press clippings if you think he's going to change.

But no one does that.... Your record against the quadrants matters a lot more than your own NET ranking.

I've had one personal interaction with Buckner in my life and it was back when Crean was coach. I will just say I am not surprised at all he is making his opinion known and forcing his will, based on things he said to a random 20 something back then.

I wouldn't call guards getting into the paint off of dribble penetration inside out personally.

I don't recall Rabby doing that type of thing without the blessing/encouragement of the athletic department. He is generally used to push a narrative.

@5fouls the only "news" is that Rabjohns unloaded quite a bit of dirty laundry about Woodson. You can draw your own conclusion about what that means.

Exactly. Have to have a long term solution or recruiting becomes even harder. If he is coming back you almost have to extend him. Anyone arguing he should be extended?

I think that's far from a reality at this point.
