Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl has almost as many assistants on his staff as he does players on his team. I'm sitting right behind the Volunteers bench, and I count 12 assistants, 13 players. Pearl has so many assistants there's no room on the bench for all of them, so a few have overflowed into the media seating.
I've always wondered why basketball coaches in particular need so many subordinates. You'd think that would be too many voices in your ear. Not to mention more hotel rooms and plane tickets for these road trips. If I were the Tennessee athletic director, I'd insist that Pearl fire at least six of them.
