So did your hero Billy Gillispie. Oddly, neither has relevance to Don Devoe opening his pie hole regarding Pearl.

You're the one who said getting fired is evidence you tanked a program. Thus, I was simply letting you know you just ripped your hero Fulmer.

Don Devoe sucked as a Basketball Coach.It sounds to me like sour grapes coming from an Ohio State Homer where a lot of this started.He was fired because he sucked and was not successful and jealousy suits you just fine Don Devoe.Maybe they will bring Buzz Peterson in next to spew his sour grapes in the laps of the Tip-Off Club attendees.Every top program bends and breaks the rules and they know it.Thats why coaches are allowed to keep coaching even though they commit violations and appear to tarnish the so called sterling image of the Universities.The only thing coach Pearl did that the other coaches dont was get caught lying with evidence.He lied about having a kid over to his house and giving him something to eat and drink.Good God you people act as if he brought him a briefcase full of money or had strippers there with underage drinking.....:loco:

Don Devoe did not suck. His record speaks for itself. He wasn't the greatest coach ever, but he was pretty good.

Getting fired is clear evidence you are not doing a job to agreed terms.

You seem to be the one hung up on bringing Fulmer into every thread. Join the rest of us and let him fade into history.

By that you mean he's clueless about winning championships in today's CBB world.

No, that's what you mean.

If you are willing to give up honor for wins, if the pond scum fits, wear it.

Morals, integrity, and certainly honor are not traits bestowed on major college basketball coaches. They have all sold their souls for a win.

It simply gets down to this.

Either you want your University to support honorable intentions and actions first, win second, or you want to win regardless of the loss of reputation and the respect that comes from being honorable.

To attempt to make the point that there cannot be success and honor is straight out stupidity. History is repleat with examples of honorable programs and coaches with great success...because of it.

That's fine, the world is chock full of those who have no honor, don't see the relevance in it and enjoin their own self-worth with the W column of their favorite University sports program(s). Alabama is over the brim with these kinds of soulless, whore-mothered retards. Sad, so is Tennessee as we see in this and many other threads.

No convincing will change the black-hearted; sons of Satan are damned to their eternal misgivings. All one can do is sigh and watch them rot from within. Let's hope they are sterile and bear no offspring.

I suppose there is no choice but to have to live through the pendulum of change, it's a reflection of the good-evil dichotomy of mankind as a whole. Until HammyTon goes, or is forced to miraculously gain honor, we are stuck with the Pearls', Raleighs and Kiffins. Perhaps CDD hire is a sign of something positive but I think it's more about what fell into his hands than a change of heart.

Too bad, too sad.

simply put. I don't care. I wish CBP hadn't gotten caught...All I care about is if he can make us an awesome basketball program.

If he can't, with cheating, then we need to find a better coach and cheater.

I was around and following UT basketball during the Devoe days. First of all, he did not bring King here, that was Coach Meyers and Aberdeen. Yes, many people did question how King and Grunfield ended up here, but nothing was ever proven, in fact it seems to have been disproven. Devoe coached hard and was marginally successful. One thing is for sure, he was clean. After he was let go at UT, Florida hired him on an interim basis to try and clean up the mess made by Norm Sloan. Anybody here remember Dwayn Schintwis or however his last name is spelled. He was a rogue and hated Devoe, called him Capt. Ahab. (Suprised a FL player even knew who Capt. Ahab was.) Anyway, there was never any allegations of wrong doing against Devoe. He problem was he could not consistently win and fill up TBA (back when it held 24,000 plus). As it has been stated, Devoe's teams played hard and the players knew their role. He is very much entitled to his opinion regarding UT basketball as he was apart of it for a long time.
Bruce messed up. End of story. Made the bed, now lie in it. (And I am not a Pearl hater, as I actually have enjoyed what he has done for UT basketball up till now). Flame me if you want, I really do not care.

After all these years, I still am amazed when a dunce puts on his pointed hat, pushes himself and his stool into a corner and begins screaming at the topmost of his lungs:

"LOOK OVER HERE"

You scratched the floor too. :disappointed:

So how are you so sure all the so called honorable programs you failed to mention did not ever invite a kid over for a hamburger and a coke.I bet before the 24 hr media coverage and espn that those so called honorable programs did lots of unethical recruiting practices.
