Goodman did a story asking coaches who they would have dinner with if they could pick 4 people...Bruce Pearl picked Shabazz
Would be a very interesting dinner with these four
Bruce Pearl
PearlLocation: That’s easy. A barbecue at my house.
Mark Emmert: Because of the changing landscape, I’d want to tell him how much good there is going on in college campuses in terms of educating student-athletes and how they aren’t treated differently anymore. He’d be proud of the fact that they go to class and are held accountable. I’d also like to ask him what he thinks the future of the NCAA holds and also apologize for my mistakes and let him know how devastating it was for my family, my coaches and my program to go through what we did.
Rick Pitino: He’s the best I’ve ever gone against. He knew what I wanted to do, why I wanted to do it and how to attack it. It was like he was in our huddle.
Shabazz Napier: I’d like to tell him how proud I am of him and ask him how he developed his swag. He really matured and represented his school and the sport well.
John Wildhack: He’s the one at ESPN who took a chance by hiring me. He’s also the one who told me to get back into coaching and get a return investment for ESPN by making the SEC better. He gave me a great opportunity and then put me to work.
