I thought we would still beat Ark because they suck. It's obvious that since we are capable of losing to this sucky team we will prolly lose 6 of these 8 games. I know one game means nothing usually but they have only played one good game in the last month against Memphis. They have no leadership without Pearl and they have struggled with him. They also get no calls at all. They are being made an example of. This season is a wash. NO east title no sec champ game. If we sneak into the ncaa we have a shot at doing something. But they are gonna really show UT who's boss.

They are going to bust Pearl when this is all over. UT will have to fire him. He is a top 10 coach in this game. We will not be able to replace that as UT is not an attractive job like that. Our BB program is gonna be like it was before Pearl. Whether it this year or next year when they finish the final ncaa report.

I wonder how many people actually understand this whether they support Pearl or not.

Maybe we should just shut down the program and pick up men's soccer?

The NCAA realizes that 119 other college coaches will be watching to see what the standard is for a coach lying to the NCAA. The NCAA MUST, MUST, MUST hit U.T. hard.
If not, then they will look foolish.
I predict that they will (1) Suspend Pearl for a full season (2) We lose one scholarship in 2012 and one in 2013 (3) No Post-season play for 2012 & 2013. (4) Lose t.v. in 2012.
Once the punishment is announced, then Hamilton will fire Pearl for "Just Cause" and we will NOT owe him any money. Can't fire him yet. It may backfire!
When we have sanctions, no good coach will want to come here. When the sanctions are over, we will need to hire a really good coach and take 5 years with the new coach before we get any tournament success.
The 8 game SEC sanction is not impressing the NCAA. The 25% reduction in salary is not impressing the NCAA. The restriction on recruiting is not impressing the NCAA.
Bottom line is, we picked the wrongest time possible to get the NCAA angry. With a new NCAA rep. on board, he wants to flex his muscle and we are at the wrong place at the wrong time.
Also, you can bet your bottom dollar that Pearl will eventually end up at a school that has a history of basketball. That school may be down at the present time, but Pearl will serve his one year suspension, then get hired by that school and have alot of success. A school like Houston, Seton Hall, St. Johns, etc. will hire him. A school that has had success but currently isn't doing very well.
The bright side of this is that we at least had 6 good years of mens basketball at U.T.
I plan on concentrating on football for the next 7 or 8 seasons, until we can get back in the NCAA tourney in basketball. It will be a long wait, but in 7 or 8 yrs. we will be back on the map.

What will the other 220 D-I basketball coaches be watching? If you are going to go from thread to thread and board to board posting your trollish idiocy, at least get enough of the facts right to let others pretend you know what you are talking about.

What do you want me to say? That the 8 games that Slive suspended Pearl will satisfy the NCAA and all will be well? We both know that that is not true.
Maybe I should say that the 25% salary reduction will impress the NCAA? We know that that is not true either.
Maybe I should say that Pearl will be here 15 more years, lead us to 3 National Championships and then retire? Well, we know that that isn't true either.
If you think all will be well in U.T. mens basketball
land, then you are fooling yourself.
You know that the NCAA picks and choose whom they will punish and to what degree they will punish them.
Do you really think that the NCAA will be easy on us???
