Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 2792685, member: 1609"] Earl was PG who could shoot. Pretty much carried UConn ala Kemba. Comparing his ball skills to a 2-3 is pretty dishonest. Also since Robinson and Gamble were pretty much the offense Phil also got a lot of attention. As freshman Phil averaged more PPG than Cliff Like you said. Earl was his own worse enemy but if my recollection is correct without Earl screwing up. Perno might have lasted another year . That team started 8-0 but we were blown out in our own Cupcake Classic* by JC ‘s , Northeastern team. That was eye opening. Then that team went into a death spiral when Earl was suspended which sealed Perno’s fate. Guys with guns never are good for the schools image. Rumors that it was really Chief’s gun are not true. Chief getting Earl suspended so Dom would get fired and we would bring in JC is just a legend. * the not so affectionate name us synical fans gave our annual Christmas Tournament. Perno was amazing People think we just weren’t competitive ,although partly true we really were not blown out that much and lead in many games against quality teams.of course which we usually lost. Us serious fans always wondered in what creative way would we manage to blow the game. Once We had a one point lead and the ball out of bounds against Georgetown . with seconds left to play . We managed to not only turn it over on our inbounds play but could not stop them from getting an easy basket for the win. Yet I don’t remember ever a crowd of under 10-12 m at the HCC [/QUOTE]
