I think Pearl would be a hard get for anybody, he really seems to like it there and he is doing good things. Indiana might be a mecca for college basketball tradition and history but I just don't see it getting that big of a guy to move with what he has going there in TN.
I do think they'll get a big-time coach but they aren't going to take chances. They're either going to get a guy similar to the success of Pearl or a younger up and commer but they aren't going to take anybody that has an sense of a problem in their past. They're at a point where they could be really good in 2 years with the right coach and a few recruits to take over for those about to leave and they can't afford to have a temp coach like Knight, in my opinion.
