Vols T logoKNOXVILLE – Steven Pearl has heard the scenario more than once. Much more.
Asked how many times he’d been told his father, Bruce, should again be the Tennessee men’s basketball coach, the former Volunteer player replied, “Too many.”
But it’s what he said next that might most surprise the Big Orange Nation.
“They’ve still got a coach here,” he said at halftime of the Vols’ 86-70 win over Ole Miss on Wednesday night. “None of this is fair to Cuonzo [Martin]. It’s not fair to the players, either.”
He also added, “I don’t know that it would ever work out for my father to coach here again.”
