College Basketball Analyst (Game and Studio)

Bruce Pearl is one of the most recognizable voices in college basketball and a passionate advocate for Jewish life, leadership, and community. In 2025, he joined Turner Sports and CBS Sports as a college basketball game and studio analyst, bringing decades of experience and insight to both the regular season and the NCAA Men’s Tournament.

Over a distinguished 30-year coaching career, Pearl compiled a 694–270 (.721) record and led his teams to 22 NCAA Tournament appearances, including two Final Four runs with Auburn. He is the only coach in SEC history to guide two different programs to a No. 1 national ranking—Tennessee in 2008 and Auburn in 2022 and 2025—and was named SEC Coach of the Year four times. In 2025, he was also recognized as the Associated Press Co-National Coach of the Year after leading Auburn to its first-ever No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament.

Beyond the court, Pearl is widely respected for his outspoken support of Israel and his commitment to Jewish identity and values. He uses his platform to speak out against antisemitism, champion Jewish pride, and strengthen connections between communities in the U.S. and Israel. His leadership reflects a deep belief in resilience, responsibility, and the power of community, making him a compelling voice for conversations that extend far beyond sports.
