Other than uproarious laughter? Not much. I did have a coach point out how it's interesting that Jim Harrick got fired a year and a half after winning a national title for lying about the number of people who attended a dinner and Pearl is somehow still empoyed.

Part of that might be that UCLA thought they could afford to lose Harrick more than Tennessee feels they could afford to lose Bruce. I agree he's not the only guy out there who can find a lot of success here, but the timing of needing a coach right now would not be good.

And, maybe UCLA was trying to avoid the label of an outlaw program given how a lot of people view Wooden's run. Just a thought.

ucla is like ky. with the right hire they can be right back on top. ut is nowhere near that.

With the collective "serves you right" mentality that coaches across the nation have seemingly developed toward Brucey, its hard to say.

This could be similar to one of those instances where they they catch Bruce in a corner, throw a sheet over his head and give him the old blanket party beatdown. Then everyone walks away saying they didn't see anything.

This is how I see it playing out amongst the coaching brotherhood, as well.

But I do think they'll leave him alone if he survives this, if he minds his own business as well.

Wait a second, I thought it was ok to host recruits at your home on an OFFICIAL VISIT? I thought the thing in question was the recruits were on an UNOFFICIAL VISIT, where no recruiting can be done off campus.?

The issue here is that these kids were juniors, not that it was an official.

He cannot host juniors, he can host high school seniors.

Except Harrick got fired for falsifying an expense report, not because of NCAA violations (for which he was exonerated.....at UCLA.). In other words, Harrick was fired for a money matter within the university and not anything because of NCAA violations.

Sorry to interrupt your week long orgasm. Continue....

I think the problem was he lied about breaking the rule, what he actually did, at least from what I heard, is not that bad IMO. This doesn't make it right, but this isn't like a Reggie Busch scenario. It was stupid of him to lie, he should have known better. With the sad state of UT athletics lately, the NCAA might just make an example of him. We really need to clean up our image, every little thing we do is going to get national headline

Parrish also made the point that once questioned, if he had just come clean, this would be half the trouble it is now. (Obviously) If he tells the AA the truth ab the visits, and admits that they were there. "We made a mistake, They were in town and we somehow let this happen, Were Sorry"

i mean if we keep him its just going to look really bad... we need a change ASAP...someone tough and agressive and willing to make hard decisions for the overall good of tennessee sports...

the sad thing is if bruce steps down then NO coach worth a damn is going to take a job that is about to get hammered by the NCAA....

Reason #1 cheating in recruiting will catch up to you.

If you pay a recruit or do anything out of line and they end up going to another school, they're going to tell someone what happened. Look at what Corey Miller said about UNC!! After UNC fans harassed him, he posted on FB that d-line coach tried to pay him. Less than 6 months later he resigned.

Our basketball program WILL be fine. It will hurt us slightly but everyone knows NCAA sports are slimey. Pearl got caught doing some things that were wrong, but there are alot of coaches getting away with far worse things. Kentucky recruit got paid $100k. You cannot tell me Calapari knew nothing about that. He still signed him.

I'm pretty sure Thad Matta is a cheater, too. I bet OSU basketball will be on probation within 5 years.

At least Pearl came forward and told the truth. The comparison with Ralph Sampson is so far off it's ridiculous. Ralph Sampson blatantly broke the rules, lied, then lied some more. He's done it everywhere he's been. No comparison.

Bruce Pearl is about as stand-up a guy as you'll find in college sports. Period.

All around good post. No one expected a hire like Pearl to be so successful. After 5-6 years at the helm, UT basketball becomes very successful. Is it coincidence that NCAA comes knocking? Please.

Fact is, coaches everywhere get away with this kind of crap. They just don't get caught. NCAA could easily look into any big program like UK and OSU's and find dirt. Duke is probably the only exception.

Right on, buddy... Probably a bit of a rush to judgment on my part, and I see the "sky is falling" police have their cuffs and batons out.

As Hat said, probably too early... I've just heard rumblings (yes, rumors and heresay - no, I make no claims of being an insider) that worry me about more coming out.

By the way, feel free to find all of my other negative "crap all over volnation" and point it out to me.

Problem is, NCAA does look into such matters at schools like Duke and Kansas, yet tends to turn their heads. Please see Corey Maggette and Darrell Arthur instances for proof.

Someone said this was a good post, for some reason, but pretty much everything about it is wrong. It doesn't matter what other programs are doing because we're the ones getting investigated. And Pearl only "came forward" when he realized that everyone knew he was lying.

And why all the hate for Ralph Sampson?

BTW, I hope Aaron Craft and Josh Selby tear ACLs before the season starts. Snitches get torn ACLs.

How come bruce doesn't walk with a noticeable limp, then?

That puts a large hole in your little theory.
