I just joined this website yesterday, and I don't even know what to think. I don't know what's more absurd, this 10 point plan, or the people not realizing it is obviously a joke (I think). Although, renovating the MECCA into some sort of super area does sound pretty sweet. Bottom line...Jeter has to go. Bring back Pearl. He is a great coach and deserves a chance to change his reputation.

OK, let's throw out the BIG hypothetical and say UWM wanted to bring Pearl back. There's one huge question left to be answered.
Why would Pearl want to come back to UWM? Nice, cushy ESPN analyst gig currently, and will be a candidate for MUCH, MUCH more attractive jobs in the coming years ... should he want to get back into coaching.

Because his reputation is horrible and he's never going to change that sitting behind an ESPN desk. Plus, there are plenty of bright young coaches that major programs would look at before him. (Brad Stevens, Shaka Smart, Josh Pastner etc.) Best thing for him and UWM, is for him to come back, clean up his image, and changes this embarrassment we call a basketball team. He gives us a few good years and moves on.

As Thomas Wolfe wrote..."you can't go home again"...as much as this would be great and possibly no one on this board would be more pleased than yours truly to have Bruce back....magical thinking.....

After a lot of personnal reflection and this season here is a 10 point plan for uwm basketball. 1. Fire Jeter, contract and all. Immediately start a coach search based on past record. Any violations will be thoroughly discussed during the interview process. The new AD can take notes for "educational purposes". (This will be easier to clean up later). 2. Ensure that new coach doesn't teach any fundamentals since this is a crutch for the talentless. 3. Make panther prowl and such events "basketball booster" events. Reach out and guilt alumni into giving millions to the boosters with promise of seeing a nationally ranked and respected program. 4. Immediately take new funds and buy " The Cell". This will be the newest university property for all UWM athletics. 5. Rename it back to its rightful name of the Mecca or UWMecca. Find old hardwood floor with logo. 6. Begin plans for compete renovation into a world class facility including luxury boxes except for visitor locker room. Make visitor locker room a historical site when NCAA investigates. Think Rachel Phelps in Major league while our athletes will enjoy professional type facilities. 7. Coo Coo Cal and Baby Drew begin collaboration on player introduction anthem song that goes with smoke pots and laser light show. Both perform at most half times. ( good recruiting tool) 8. New coaches attend pick up games on MLK In most major cities. As well as attend NYC city basketball tournament. Talk to Jesus Shuttlesworth and Kyle Watson. Players should start arguing about getting off for the UWM scout. When Shepard takes over the city shoot out with finger rolls and 3s from the corner find out how much eligibility he has? 9. Schedule MU and Madison for easy non conference powderpuff win and remind them of state dominate team. 10. Schedule any number of crap local summerfest cover bands...i.e. Mt. Olive or Love Monkeys to play in the entrance of the "New Mecca" for party type atmosphere. I have no idea what this is supposed to be! -- signed Mr. Leland |

My only advice would be to realize that there is no one person for any one job. Our basketball coaching job probably has a good list of guys who would be able to advance the program.
