amazing that we are almost 10 posts past Hat's attack on Coach Pearl and no one has blasted him.

Maggard, you should be proud of yourself.

I saw this one coming. I can't say I'm surprised. Over half the football team smokes weed. I think it's safe to say that substance abuse will always be a problem at Tenn.

I felt terrible for dogging on CL, not knowing what he was going through so I'm not going to dog these two freaking a-holes. We will be better off without them. Nip it in the BUD and move on.

His comments don't deserve a response. If he doesn't like our leadership, maybe he should go root for a team who has a coach that he idolizes( Billy G.) I'm surprised he doesn't hate Pat Summit. He probably thinks that he knows more about basketball than she does.

well of course I don't like Tennessee basketball, but his response is dead on. Except I don't know of very many coaches (if any) that UT could get that would be able to come in and run a successful program in terms of wins and losses while running a completely free program.

Why is his response dead on? Pearl isn't a mind reader. He did the right thing by kicking them off when they got caught doing something illegal. You can't label a coach because a couple of his players got in trouble. You can only applaud him for reacting with swift action. He simply gave some high school athletes a chance to make something of themselves and they chose to screw it up. Please don't be a hat follower like a few on here. Agreeing with him doesn't get you on his side anyway. He will stab you in the back the first chance he gets.

Looking into my past, you'll see that I have disagreed with hat on numerous occasions, but we do see eye to eye on many things as well. The Ramar/Duke thing is only another example of questionable behavior from CBP.

The Maggard guys keeps saying who said UT administered the test, so going by that I'm thinking the failed drug test may have taken place during the NCAA's.

Good for Pearl. This stuff is getting old. They need to clean this crap up, basketball, football, all over. The reputation of UT is getting worse.

Questionable behavior? Please explain how this shows questionable behavior by Bruce Pearl. He dismissed them from the team. How else should he have handled the situation?

There may be some validity to that. But it's also a little bit of people wanting a winner but not wanting to watch how the sausage is made.

well i for one have to question his ability to recruit someone with character than can ball. it's a hard job and why so very few excel at it, but as a coach you have to recruit players that not only can play their sport but can be an asset to the university.

please....lol. Do you even know who Nathan McCauley at hoopsreport is? He lives in Lexington Ky. He doesn't give me information at all.

So, do you REALLY think I stuck to my guns cause of some internet report that you THINK was first? I would have NEVER "broken" the story. I don't report on bad news for UT fans. I only spoke up cause Nathan was getting trashed and I knew the info was true. I've known LONG before the news "broke"

Amazing.

So, all this time, the reason you were here was to defend the guy from Hoopsreport. Gosh, I can't believe I didn't realize that during these long threads.
