A fallback year? He has not even had a good year yet. He had one good 2 week stretch aided by some very favorable matchups, but he did a very poor job coaching this year from November-February.

I was quite literally ecstatic when Anderson left Mizzou...I was sick of his shite. I still am, however, I didn't think we'd replace him with someone even worse.
It's funny to see you knight for Martin in this thread but dog Anderson.

24 wins and a Sweet Sixteen is not a good year? Again, if that's the case to you, you should consider becoming a fan of Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, etc. because for the non-blue blood schools of America, that's a good year.

I don't think it's unreasonable to say that Martin is a better coach than Anderson. Actually, I would argue that it is likely. Anderson hasn't done dick outside of 1 season at Mizzou leading to an Elite Eight. Martin was a crummy charge call from matching that this year.
If I were giving the coaches grades based on their careers, I'd give Mike a B- and Cuonzo a B.

Man all that NBA talent. The best player Pearl had was Tobias Harris and they did really do squat with him on the roster.

Yes, he benefitted from 3 years of Lofton (as anyone would) but he also added a ton of talent around him very quickly.
Not really. He had his best years with those guys because they just happened to fit his system perfectly.

The regular season was unquestionably a disappointment.
Getting sept by aTm, losing to UTEP, losing to NC State at home, I mean what the frick?
As I said, they played well for a few weeks and got lucky with some matchups and I'm glad they did, but this was Tennessee's 5th most successful team in the last 9 years with one of their 2 or 3 most talented teams.

Memphis fans are absolutely dying for a sweet 16 appearance under Pastner. Some people even want him fired.

I think you are under the idiotic Clay Travis spell that the Tennessee job is better than what it is.

With Martin, you pretty much don't even start trying until February.

So his teams get better as the season goes? Works for me.
We have to deal with Haith, who goes undefeated in non-con and then flounders to a .500 record in the league and a postseason tournament flop.

I'm not sure what you're arguing here.
There were three 5 stars and 2 high 4 stars in that group. Just because they didn't play in the NBA doesn't mean he didn't do a good job recruiting them. All very highly regarded guys who fit his system, isn't that the goal?
The best plaayer Pearl had was Tobias Harris? What? Chris Lofton was a much, much better college player.

So you would rather pick up wins in December and January than in March?

And yet Anderson still has a better career winning %.
Obviously you're biased considering Anderson and Mizzou's history but it's still humorous to see you laud a coach that is statistically similar or lesser of a coach than one you bash constantly. The double standard is fun to watch.

Pastner is horrendous.

It's not some gradual improvement over three years. It's mediocre basketball right until we decide we don't want to play in the NIT again.

No, but I'd rather not lose 13 with a team which shouldn't lose more than 7.

That Bruce Pearl made you think the Tennessee job is much better than it is

None of which panned out.

He received a show clause from the NCAA and was fired because of how he recruited them

Who says they have to be highly regarded guys to win? Florida has one guy on their entire roster that would be drafted in the 1st round most likely, Chris Walker, and he barely plays.

I'm glad you enjoy it.
Just as my bias gives me an overly negative view of Anderson, your bias gives you an overly positive view of him.
Anderson is not, and will never be what Nolan was. Plain and simple.

It's very obvious why the SEC is so laughably bad at basketball. Why should Tennessee fans not think we can do better than Cuonzo? Hell, Jerry Green had more success here.
