Hamilton would be completely stupid to let the program take severe hits to try to keep Pearl. You should sacrifice Pearl, rather than the program. If they do this, then Hamilton is the one that should be let go immediately.

I can see that happening, but I can see him staying happening as well. Hubbs said this today on it.

"Tennessee is preparation for the basketball team to be placed on probation and more penalties coming. Now that could me more suspension for Pearl, post season play suspension, recruiting restrictions, loss of scholarship.

Some in the Pearl camp because the he will not be further suspended and that any punishment will be made to the program and not Pearl individually because Tennessee has made it clear that Pearl is their coach.

I tend to believe that Pearl's going to miss some more games and a post-season ban is really possible."

Tennessee hasn't made anything clear. We've taken a pragmatic, albeit somewhat naive, approach to the process.

They have made it somewhat clear. Trying to sign him to another contract shows some motivation to keep him. If you are just going to sacrifice him the the 'AA then just let him just keep working with the current letter of understanding. I am a big Pearl fan, and want him to stay. However, I am a bigger UT fan and want what is best for the program. I'm not sure which of the two options with Pearl is the better move yet.

A good play option would have been a lob to the rim, but Tennessee's lack of size would prevent that from even happening. That's why I say use Lofton as a decoy and let Watson get into the lane and make a play.

Personally, I like a catch and shoot or catch and one maybe two dribbles and a pull up. I'm all for attacking but chances are they are going to collapse on the drive and it's tough to get a foul call in that situation, plus it's tough to drive and kick in 2.9.

Don't you think it is interesting that Pearl refuses to sign the contract UT offered? Wonder why? Could be that he can be fired with no compensation depending on the NCAA outcome.

He can be fired regaurdless of the NCAA outcome. I don't think they are only redoing his contract so they can fire him when the sanctions come down. I think they saw this as an oppurtunity to fix the original contract. He very well could be fired. I don't know. I'm just not going to pretend, like some here do, and act like I know something I don't.

Why, do you suppose, is the contract still unsigned?

I realize it has to do with Pearl not liking the changes to his contract if he is terminated. It's wrong to assume that UT is redoing his contract just to fire him. They may, they may not. I'll let it play out though.

Your hopes, aspirations, dreams, etc. don't change the reason contracts were terminated and negotiated.

Neither does your opinion anymore than minde does. No one knows but Hamilton and the Athletic Department.

Didn't you say Pearl not signing the contract wasn't a big deal?

That would be a good point if Pearl weren't one of the highest paid coaches in the country. As it is, it's just dumb.

With the reported $500,000/year cut in his pay because of the violations he barely makes the top 20. That is with a proven record. Take away the schools that are in crappy leagues and you really only have about 50-60 schools that would rate as desirable jobs. He is barely in the top 1/3. Therefore I don't consider him one of the top paid coaches in the country. So sorry my comments failed to make your intelligent level "O Great One!"
He is behind some of the greats:
Anthony Grant- Alabama
Sean Miller- Arizona
Tony Bennett- Virginia
Tom Crean- Indiana
Jay Wright- Villanova

Exactly why would UT feel the need to pay a new basketball coach less than what they were paying Pearl before he was exposed as the lying fraud he is? Also, there's a pretty good case to be made that every guy you listed is a better coach than Pearl. Miller and Wright aren't even really up for debate.

Come on, Hat. Everyone knows that Arizona wanted Pearl over Miller.
