Coach goes topless at women’s basketball game

Tennessee men’s basketball coach Bruce Pearl painted his chest and cheered in the student section at a Tennessee women’s game. Women’s coach Pat Summitt stopped to shake his hand before the game. I’m sure she’ll thank him again for becoming the headline instead of her squad’s home loss to Duke.
Somewhere in Southern Mississippi, Larry Eustachy is shaking his head at the amateur antics of Pearl. If you want to bag the campus coeds, all it takes is a six-pack of Natty Light cans and a mock turtleneck. Pearl went overboard. Painting your chest, throwing on the headband and sitting through a women’s game? It just screams needy. He might have a chance with a band girl.
And I don’t want any complaints about sensationalist headlines either. Like you’d rather have seen a female college hoops coach go topless.
