Pearl Vs. Calipari A Better Sideline Matchup For Vols

Posted by Tom Wilson | Posted in Preseason | Posted on 11-11-2009

Let’s get a few things straight right off the bat…Bruce Pearl will not out-recruit John Calipari at Kentucky.  Pearl may not even win the war of words, and he likely won’t win the glitz and glamor game.

But one thing is for certain.  Pearl will not lie awake at night this season worrying about the sideline coaching matchup with Calipari.

I guarantee you Pearl would rather match coaching wits against Calipari than either of his two Wildcat predecessors, Tubby Smith or Billy Gillispie. 

Pearl is 3-5 versus Kentucky since he has been at Tennessee, the only SEC school with a winning record against Pearl since he’s been at Tennessee.  He was 2-2 versus Calipari when he was at Memphis.

The fact of the matter is that Calipari racked up a lot of wins at his two other collegiate coaching stops – UMass and Memphis – but neither of those schools was in a power conference and neither played the type of conference schedule night after night that Calipari’s Cats will play in the SEC. And his teams won’t host the conference tournament on their home floor like they did every year at Memphis.

Will Calipari’s Cats be competitive in the SEC?  Absolutely.  Will they win an SEC title?  Probably.  Will they dominate the SEC in the manner Kentucky fans are accustomed? Doubtful.

Will Pearl have a favorable coaching matchup against Calipari?  Definitely.
