After a 3 year show-cause penalty? There has only been one coach in history who has been given a show-cause penalty who coached again in Div. 1 and that was at Morgan State, not a basketball powerhouse.

If he coaches at the college level again, it will not be Div. 1.

Who were the coaches that received these penalties? How high profile were they?

  • Todd Bozeman - Former head coach for the California Golden Bears, who had paid for a player's parents to watch their son play and lied about it to school and NCAA officials. He was forced to resign in 1996 and was handed an eight-year show-cause penalty, which expired in 2004. He now coaches the Morgan State Bears; to date, he is the only Division I men's head basketball coach to have ever gotten another head coaching job after being hit with a show-cause.
  • Clem Haskins - Former head coach for the Minnesota Golden Gophers, who was guilty of paying a tutor to write papers for players on the team; he also lied to the NCAA about those payments and encouraged his players to lie as well. For that he was hit with a seven-year show-cause penalty. This penalty expired in 2007, but Haskins has yet to return to collegiate coaching.
  • Dave Bliss - Former head coach for the Baylor Bears and the central figure in the scandal that engulfed the program in 2003, starting with the murder of New Mexico transfer Patrick Dennehy by former Baylor player Carlton Dotson that June. In the wake of Dennehy's death, it was revealed that Bliss had paid tuition for Dennehy and another Baylor player. Bliss lied to investigators about the payments, and worse yet, encouraged players and assistant coaches to lie. Bliss went so far as to suggest that the players tell investigators and law enforcement that Dennehy had paid for his tuition by dealing drugs. One of his assistants taped these conversations and sent them to the NCAA; the tapes later found their way to the media. Dotson's estranged wife and the mother of another Baylor player also reported widespread abuse of marijuana and alcohol by players that neither Bliss, his staff, nor the Baylor athletic department ever addressed. Bliss was forced to resign; and in 2005 was hit with a ten-year show-cause penalty, effective until 2015. This stands as the longest show-cause penalty ever given to a head basketball coach. Two of his assistants were also given show-cause penalties of five and seven years, respectively. The assistant who taped the conversations, Abar Rouse, escaped NCAA punishment, but has been effectively blackballed by the coaching fraternity; his only coaching job since the scandal was one year as a graduate assistant at a Division II school.
  • Kelvin Sampson - Former head coach of the Oklahoma Sooners and the Indiana Hoosiers, who was guilty of making impermissible cell phone calls to recruits. He landed Oklahoma on probation before leaving for Indiana in 2006. When he repeated the violations at Indiana, he was forced to resign from that institution in 2008. That same year, the NCAA gave Sampson a five-year show-cause penalty, effective until 2013. Sampson has since been an assistant with two NBA teams—the Milwaukee Bucks (2008–2011) and now the Houston Rockets.
  • Rob Senderoff – Former assistant at Indiana under Sampson who was found to have made many of the impermissible calls to recruits. He resigned in 2007, but was rehired by Kent State, where he had served as an assistant for five years before joining Sampson at IU, before the NCAA announced its findings. Senderoff was hit with a 30-month show-cause in November 2008; since Kent State had already hired him, the school could keep him on its staff, and chose to do so. After Geno Ford left for Bradley after the 2010–11 season, Senderoff was named as interim head coach and then permanent head coach. His show-cause expired on May 25, 2011.[2]
  • Neil McCarthy - Former basketball coach at New Mexico State, who was fired before the 1997-98 season due to concerns about his players' poor academic performance. During a deposition for a wrongful-termination suit, McCarthy admitted under oath that he'd agreed to hire a junior-college coach as an assistant if two of his players came to New Mexico State. This triggered an investigation which revealed the junior-college coach had helped the players with their coursework and exams. In 2001, the NCAA gave McCarthy a five-year show-cause order, effective until 2006. The junior-college coach, who had been hired as an assistant before being fired with the rest of McCarthy's staff, was hit with a 10-year show-cause order. As of 2010, McCarthy has not returned to coaching.
  • Bruce Pearl, former coach of the Tennessee Volunteers, received a three-year show-cause penalty for lying to the NCAA regarding major recruiting violations. Each of his assistants received one-year show-cause orders.[1]

He probably will at some point, but unlikely to be at the D-1 level, and sure as Hell not at any program comparable to UT.

My gut tells me that he is going to coach again at tenn after three or four years when CCM cant keep pace with what pearl was able to do....more from a finance stand point. He sold tickets and filled TBA. He will be the logical choice as he will still be in ktown.

His first few gigs will not be a D1 level school. He'll be back coaching D1 around 2020ish imo.

According to govolsxtra he just took a VP job with Hackney and is staying. So yes, he will be coaching again in three years. If I were to guess the team I would say its the Lady Vols when Pat steps down. They have great admiration for each other regardless of the issues Bruce inflicted on himself and the program.

Who cares he lied about a stupid secondary violation then tried to get everyone else involved to go alone with it all the while making the university of Tennessee look like crap. He was a great coach just like JJ was great player but if they are representing Tennessee in a bad way I don't want them around anymore. In 4 days it's football time in Tennessee and after that I'll support coach Martin all the way cause it's time to move on. JMO

i pray this doesn't happen to pat, but if she does as my mother-in-law did with this disease, she won't be coaching next year. this disease is terrible, i know what it can do and it is something that spreads very fast. if so, pearl will not be allowed to coach here next year,because of show cause. i hope not, anyway. i also pray pat will be at u t a long time !!!

BP is a salesman (or marketer now). I see him showing up at a place like ole miss, state, or auburn in a few years. Just a guess. If a program and fanbase is basically nonexistent, an AD will do it.

Show cause penalties have been rare. I was unaware of how long the ones that have been handed out have been. Bruce getting three years and not five, seven or ten like in some cases shows while wrong, others have done much worse in the eyes of the NCAA. Because of this, I think he will get a shot D1 one day at a place that needs a shot like the one poster mentioned. Ole Miss, Auburn, or another school similar in another conference.

If pearl were hated like some of these people post, it makes you wonder why a former UT trustee would hire
him. I would rather have him back than have to play against him with South Carolina. JMO

There are many schools that would want Bruce in a few years, including several in the SEC. The school and trustees backing him as long as they did shows what they think of him. The witch hunt mentality of the media aside, Bruce can motivate players and fanbases.

Why cant we start supporting Coach Martin and talk about him. He is the face of UT mens basketball and the BP fans need to move on. The man hasn't got to coach one game and all some people want to talk about is if UT would hire him back.
