Yes he brought all this on himself, Yes we will struggle some through the 8 games he misses on the SEC schedule, Yes we probably will not get a decent big man recruit for the 2011 season which will hurt next year's rotation. This team will still go on to the NCAAT this year making a deeper run than last year due to Pearl coaching for his job!!! He wins with less better than most, that is fact. If the AA drops the hammer on the program for post season ban next year, he will more than likely be fired unfortunately.
We all get your point by now Hat, but you can't deny if Pearl is able to get through this it would be better to keep him than go looking for the next best thing!!!
