His Honor, Bruce Pearl

This guy could have just about anything in the world (or at least Milwaukee) right now. Just as any head basketball coach worth his/her salt should be, he can be slicker than owl shit.
There, in the midst of a sea of yellow, gold, or whatever t-shirt color was cheapest for the giveaway, the first words out of his mouth after the game were, "We might have the conference player and coach of the year, but tonight, you fans, YOU were the MVP of this game!!"
And boys, it was a nail-biter all the way...only led twice (the one time when it really counted). Free-throw percentage in the first half: less than 30%. A short old fuck of a ref that didn't make a correct call all night (either way). And home rims that seemed to have been edged with anti-Milwaukee juice (bad stuff).
As far as summing it all up, Bruce had a classic "pearl" of wisdom (paraphrased), "They may have deserved to win that game tonight, but for this whole season, we deserved to win the championship. Maybe it just carried over."
More to come. For now, off to practice my White-Man's-Overbite.....just gotta dance!!! (Anywhere but INDY!)
