Pearl did same thing at UW-M.

These violations are relatively minor. The problem is that there now seems to be a pattern, and he lied about it on top of it. After the NCAA makes their ruling, I think UT will have the ability to fire him. But unless they uncover more, I still think he should be retained - just kept on a very short leash.

It's not that I'm a Pearl hater. I get ticked when people try to defend his actions. It makes our fan base look hypocritical also.I would gain back a lot of respect for Pearl if he would man up and tell the whole story instead of some innocent tear jerk garbage.

This.

If anything comes out of all this junk, it's that our fanbase is exactly the same as every other fanbase we pretend we're so much better than.

So tell me. If having a recruit to your house or whatever is such a huge deal, then why the heck was it no big deal when it happened at UWM? Self-reported, nothing happened. I know Pearl did it again, and then lied about it. But the actual violation is minor. The repeat offense and lie warranted the punishment he got, and now is on a very short leash. Beyond that, I think this whole deal is a little overblown.

The lie is worse than the infraction. And secondary violations are considered minor until there is a repeat history of them.

Guess his memory was better then. Apparently he recognized his own home and reported the violation while there. Too bad he was unable to recognize his home now---guess it is just too big with all the money he pulls down from UT.

That's probably why his house is now up for sale. He wants to live somewhere he can recognize.

Oh, how cute. It's the "I'm too mentally deficient to come up with a real argument, so I'll just accuse everyone of being UK fans" spill.

Some people would defend Pearl to the death. This cult of personality is ridiculous.

I think people are overreacting to the actual violations. Which really aren't that bad. Which is makes it more worrisome that he felt like he had to lie about them

I don't know how many people are up in arms over the actual violations. I'm pretty sure most of us that are pissed are so because of the cover-up.

Every rumor that hits this board, you and your Calamites
jump all over it like it was etched in stone. Why not wait until the ncaa completes its investigation and if Pearl has to go then it is Hamilton's decision. Some of you act as if its your decision to make. Grow Up!!!!!

Joe Biddle is on OTL right now.What an idiot. He made some comment about formerly being the University of Tampons because nothing would stick. What reputable journalist would go on national TV and say something like that?

LOL Maybe so, that would make more sense. I couldn't figure out the correlation. :lol:

He still struck me as a moron.

I just hope Calipari isn't having a major remodel done on his home to change appearance.:eek:lol:

Bruce is great for UT basketball as a coach, Calipari the same at UK......both are pretty much snake oil salesmen. The problem with Pearl is he is a known snitch and an admitted liar. But I wish they would get off our teams asses......what % of schools and coaches run 100% clean programs anyway?
