GREAT move by Cuonzo. He could see the writing on the wall that he wasn't valued or secure at Tennessee despite his improvement each year capped off by a Sweet 16 run. Coaches who make Sweet 16's and recruit 5* players don't grow on trees, and Tennessee is about to learn that the hard way. at Tennessee. This is why SEC basketball can't have nice things.

Agreed. They won't be able to get a better coach right now

Can't believe Mizzou let him get out of the state

The writing on the wall: Him making a sweet 16, turning down another coaching offer, then not being offered an extension or a raise. It's not that hard to see who was wearing the pants in this deal

Duh. UT's hiring/firing/forcing out decisions over the past decade have just been one mistake after another.

I think Cuonzo was solid. Tennessee really blew it not showing enough respect to their coach.

I totally agree.

I watched him coach at Missouri State. It took him 3 years to win the Missouri Valley Conference, which everyone should know is no easy walk in the park. That's when Creighton was still a powerhouse in the conference.

It took him 3 years to reach the Sweet 16 at Tennessee, which any Mizzou fan would kill for!

I'm curious which coach Tennessee has their eyes on. They must be certain that this mysterious coach in waiting will immediately perform better than Martin, which rarely happens when you have to start over.

I don't get it.

It was a smart move by Cuonzo for sure. Better move for UT.
