Time to Get Nervous, Volunteers...

The timing of this article terrifies me. If Indiana is going to name its new coach by the Final Four, it has to be a coach already out (Bruce Pearl). It has to be a coach already interested (Bruce Pearl). It has to be someone worth hiring before waiting to talk to guys like Sean Miller or John Calipari (Bruce Pearl).

The other thing that worries me about this article is the whole Tony Bennett distraction. You don't think an Indiana representative threw out the Tony Bennett rumor to keep people off the Bruce Pearl trail, do you? If Tennessee fans got a whiff of Pearl-to-Bloomington talk, it might be much tougher to whoo him away from an adoring fan base that would do everything short of lying down in front of his moving trucks to keep him in Knoxville.

This whole article smells fishy to me. Be nervous, Vols...
