It's not naive in the least. We can generally agree that college coaching is a generally sleazy business, basketball moreso than the rest. Most places can handle the idea that people think of their coaches as unseemly, but rare is the university that can sit idly by while its coach makes those ideas indisputable. There is no debate about whether UT and UTAD would be turning a blind eye to a disingenuous staff willing to break the rules on their whim if they didn't make changes here.

None of that means we're about to hire a saint, but it does mean that the institution can't afford for the general perception to be absolutely and unequivocally true and widely known to be so.

Perception wise, yes. But to say we are upholding integrity and honor because we are firing a coach is borderline goofy.

Turning a blind eye to it because it's not in the public eye is not upholding the ideas of honor and integrity.

The celebrating at least evens out the people whining about Bruce being the only reason they care about UTBB.

Other alternative absolutely shows a lack of honor and integrity, which, to your point, doesn't mean there is an overabundance.

Surreptitiously taping a conversation with a 17 year old kid is acceptable because I occasionally drink more scotch than I should. All faults are equal and should be treated as such.

When a man resorts to juvenile name calling, he has nothing of value to say. You lost your argument.

people regularly say that around here and it is still entirely nonsensical. It's a clever quip to tell the kids so they won't call their peers names, but it still makes no sense whatsoever.

I play to the level of the competition. When dealing with the kind of people who venerate and defend a lying charlatain like Pearl, I see no reason to use A material.

Name calling is juvenile. At least make it funny and don't reword the same insult.

Find me a football program that has the best facilities in the country and has not done crap the past ten years.....Hmmmm I wonder if you can figure it out.
Just because a basketball program or football program has good facilities does not mean they are automatically going to win.

Too bad. Sometimes you have pretty good argument, but you lose credibility when you go down that road.. But to each his own..

That's not what I meant at all and you know it. I find it distasteful to celebrate punishments for others faults. I don't take foam fingers to the electric chair.
