More or less. The Israelis and Palestinians will both be too distracted by his bright orange jacket to fight while he's over there. I'm guessing he comes back with at least one commitment:
Tennessee men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl and the Maccabi USA Open Men's team he coaches leave Philadelphia for Tel Aviv, Israel, today.
"I've got the red, white and blue on and I'm representing my country,'' an excited Pearl said in a phone interview from Philadelphia, where he has been drilling the USA team the past week in preparation for the Maccabiah Games. "We're playing in the 18-to-32 age division, and that's a tall task. We're basically playing against pros.''
The Maccabiah Games are basically the "Jewish Olympics," and are sanctioned as Regional Games by the IOC. So go Coach Pearl, represent the U.S. and make us proud!
Lane Kiffin would have come along to help, except that he's being accused of an NCAA secondary violation for trying to contact Petah Tikvah High School's star quarterback!
