COACH PEARL'S SUBSTITUTION PATTERN


Tennessee Coach Bruce Pearl has pre-determined substitution patterns going into a game.

Starters control minutes — put themselves back in
Don’t sub for a player because of a mistake
Foul trouble special situations, end of a game — coach controls subs
Only reason to yank a player — lack of effort
If coach takes you out, you stay out until he puts you back in
