Hamilton may have a hand in the way Pearl acted to the allegations and it will come out I'm sure.. There is something I have never liked in him running our athletic dept..

This is totally the opposite of my experience, and I've been following UT basketball since the 70s. Most of the fans I've talked to who are desperate to keep Pearl at any cost are the ones who just jumped on the bandwagon a few years ago. Long-term fans know that there's not that much difference between what Pearl has done at UT and what Jerry Green and Don DeVoe did; they know Pearl's not the only one who can win here.

I am in your camp on this one and go back even further as a fan.

Once trust is broken its very hard to get it back. I personally think that his ego and making big money got to him. if you met him when he first arrived here and then waited and talked to him today - it's like talking with two different people.

Time to move on in my opnion.

You really think Hamilton had his hand in lying to the AA or called the recruits' families to "remind them" that what went down? None of that is acceptable or excusable and Hamilton had nothing to do with it.

Even with the NCAA problems Coach Pearl has had more production with the level of talent and accomplished more than UT Basketball has ever dreamed of without legitimately cheating and paying for play.. I hope he gets thru this and is Here for yrs to come and makes every Pearl hater eat there words..

I bet Florida wishes they ignored the NCAA issues and never fired Galen Hall. After all, he was better than the previous guys.

MH was booed by some in the crowd as he was on the court and involved with Houston's jersey retirement. Not the time or place. Embarrassed by the lack of maturity by those that did.

Jerry Green and Devoes attitudes irritated me to know end. DeVoe MUST GO!! would have been on my car if I wasnt just a kid at the time. lol. Seriously though I have been really upset with DeVoe being outspoken saying Pearl should go. He is mad for 2 reasons Tennessee firing him and Pearl not playing his walkon son Elliott. I know people can win here at a pretty high level. But to put the Buzz Peterson or Wade houston likeableness with some ability to coach was what Bruce Pearl brought to the table. Make no mistake I will support no matter who is on our sidelines but losing Bruce will sting my heart. As for Hamilton who cares.

I don't understand - Pearl does the crime and you think Hamilton should pay for it? He's the one that hired and has stood by the one your heart would sting over if he left! Huh? A vote for Pearl is a vote for Hamilton. They are inseparable at this point.

He is held accountable for wat happens in the athletic dept.. Saying this happened in two sports and two diff coaches he is held accountable for not properly monitoring what's goin on within the coaches actions.. Its a lack of institutional control.. he was already under the gun for the Lane Kiffin problems.. He knew heat from bball could be a dagger if it came out..

Didn't Bob Knight get in trouble but still coached.. didn unc keep Butch Davis after Ncaa problems and didn Steve Spurrier let his players stay in hotels etc for free knowing it was goin on but he still coaching.. This happens in college sports every yr.. I jus hope they hold Kiffin respnsible for his actions seeing he did the same thing at USC in his first tenure.. he is a repeat offender..

Well hamilton goofed up the Fulmer situation. I was torn over that too. I did feel it was time for Fulmer to go but thought should have been let go after season was over. Then Hamilton follows that up with the Kiffin debacle so i give some creedence to what you say that Hamilton and pearl go together but also feel that should not 100% the case as hamilton has done other things to be judged seperately.

I really don't know what to say to someone who's more offended by Don DeVoe's attitude than by Pearl's major NCAA violations and ethics charges. Vaya con Dios.

So fire the guy who "didn't monitor" for violations, but don't fire the guy that actually committed the violations? This fan base cracks me up.
