Message: [QUOTE="Stew Crew, post: 4998621, member: 12799"] My comment was all about Tate, independent of Cliff Robinson. That said, Cliff did show a dramatic jump (on a per minute basis) between Perno's last year and Calhoun's first year. And it all needs to be put in context. Perno had lost complete control of the program in the last few years. Without naming names, several players were either drunk or high most of the time. Earl Kelley was arrested a couple of times before eventually getting kicked off the team. Cliff and Gamble got declared academically ineligible in Calhoun's first semester there. The program was a circus. I'm not sure Cliff would have gotten a sniff at the NBA if Perno stayed a couple of more years. Instead of Tate or Cliff, I would propose Rod Sellers, who bridged the 80s and 90s so I'm not sure which decade he would fit into. [/QUOTE]
