athletes bad breaks coach crowd entire excited good intentions mechanism pearl protecting student tennessee
I don't think (Pearl) had bad intentions whatsoever. I can't tell you what he was thinking, but I know Coach Pearl is excited about what's going on with Tennessee basketball, which he should be. I just don't think it's a good idea to have the student athletes in the crowd because it breaks down the entire mechanism for protecting the players.
good time
I didn't get off a good shot. I didn't know how much time was left.

Anytime you get the players in the stands, it makes it that much more difficult for the event management to protect the players.
available level minorities shows
That is significant, because it shows there are opportunities available for minorities in upper level administration.
