At first watching the game i was ready for CBP to be gone with such a poor showing. But, CBP has done alot of good to our BB program and after all is said and done i think if we keep him, we will become a team that teams dont want to play.. I mean you still love your kids even when they lie to you right?

1 - My kids get punished when they lie to me.
2 - My kids are children.
3 - I don't have the same feeling towards CBP as I do my kids.

Barkley's comment: " family? I don't want Hamilton in my family."

I laughed.

Hamilton should be fired first.

Then fire Bruce, regardless of what the NCAA will do. Bruce's negatives will be used against us for years in recruiting battles.

Although he has accomplished great things at Tennessee on the court, Bruce seems to bring in too many players that don't work out and are forced or choose to leave early (Duke Crews, Marques Johnson, Ramar Smith, Josh Tabb, Tyler Smith, Philip Jurick, Daniel West, Passley, etc.). Does this not seem like an incredibly long list for only being here 6 years? Plus, we seem to rely too much on transfers (JP Prince, Tyler Smith, Bobby Maze, Melvin Goins, John Fields, Josh Bone,...) Not saying anything bad about players that transfer, but again that is a long list for a 6 year tenure. And, you certainly don't have as much time to develop team chemistry.

Tennessee needs to go after a good coach like Brad Stevens and move on. Please don't bring in someone unproven (Wade Houston), or someone that has mixed success (Jerry Green & Buzz Peterson).

that he, and he alone, is resposnsible for the 'AA mess. Saying "We got into this together" is the most delusional things I've heard in a long time from anyone not named Charlie Sheen.

BTW, what has Charlie Sheen said that is delusional? Does banging porn stars not make him awesome?

"On March 19, one donor was so upset by Pearl’s comments following UT’s NCAA tournament blowout loss to the University of Michigan — “We got into this together and we should see it through together,” Pearl had said — that he wrote Hamilton about them.

“This is way more than I can choke down. I am incensed at the arrogant ignorance of that comment. I, and thousands of other Tennessee supporters, had nothing to do with HIS actions. I worry for you … and some others that are caught in this meat grinder,” wrote the donor."

I immediately thought of this thread as well.

Maybe the other 1000s of donors were OK with the firing and didn't feel the need to write an email.

Seems such a simple point that one would have reasoned through it before posting something so absurd.

It's refreshing that the administration didn't allow a few delusional donors keep us from doing the right thing with Pearl.

Gonna have to agree with you on that one. I was a little surprised to see how adamant some of those donors were. I knew there would be some Pearl supporters, but I didn't think they'd be as delusional as some of our grittier fans.

I agree with this, but in a different way.

I would hardly call the big time donors that contribute so much to the UTAD delusional, but it is good that the athletic department is willing to independently make a judgment that they think is in the best interest of the university and basketball program, without feeling threated by the elite donors.

The big donors got to hang out and schmooze with Pearl. They got to ride on the bus; they got locker room access. Pearl and those donors spent six years mutually kissing each other's asses. Totally unsurprising that some of them would be a little too emotionally involved in the situation.
