KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Change remains the only constant at Tennessee.
Tennessee is on its third coach in as many seasons after NCAA issues caused the Volunteers to fire Donnie Tyndall after only one year. Replacing Tyndall is Rick Barnes, who got dismissed at Texas despite leading the Longhorns to NCAA Tournament appearances in 16 of his 17 years on the job.
Barnes has earned NCAA bids 19 of the last 20 years overall and says that remains the goal at Tennessee, even though he's facing a tough challenge in his debut season.
''I do think that we've got to give credit to the previous coaches because we walked into a (good) situation,'' Barnes said.
