Maybe I should have made it even harder and put Jim Molinari and Larry Eustachy on there!
No player ever from Southern Indiana nor UW-M has ever been drafted, and none that Pearl has ever coached, going into his 5th year at Tennessee.
He might break that streak, however, as Tyler Smith is likely to get drafted next year!
Everyone else on that list has had at least ONE player drafted, and many (like Jim Les) have had two or more!
Hey--- try one more trivia question...should be really EASY...
Who has won MORE games in his first SEVEN seasons as a D-I head coach??
Jim Les, Mike Krzyzewski, or Dana Altman??
Mouse over the next line to see the answer...
Les is 126-105 in his first seven years, Coach K was 100-89 in his first 7 years, and Dana was 104-101 in his first 7 years as a head coach.
Jim Les also has only 3 fewer wins in his first seven years as Bill Self had in his first seven years, and seven MORE in his first seven years than Bob Knight had in his first seven years!
last question...who leads in career rebounds??
Dinma Odiakosa, who is about to start his 5th year at ISU, or Theron Wilson, who played just two years at Bradley?
Again...mouse over to read...
Answer -- Theron Wilson had 492 rebounds in his two-year career,
Dinma Odiakosa currently has 486 career rebounds.
