Other than the lie to the NCAA about having a recruit at his house what other NCAA violations has he been slapped with.

He was a whistle blower in 1988-89.....

The man has paid his dues and worked his way up the coaching food chain.

He's won big everywhere he's been and none of the places he's been are as good as Memphis for basketball.

He's 470-150 W-L all time..... .758 winning percentage.

So what if he wiretapped a conversation and made leading comments to a recruit in an attempt to discredit another coach. Ethics mean nothing. You kind of left out the part where he told others to lie to the NCAA. As they said in Watergate it wasn't the crime it was the cover up.

Still dont understand why you guys think Pearl would leave.

He wouldn't. He has infused life back into that program. I'm sure the expectations there are't much. If he makes it to the tournament in the next couple of years he will be a hero there. I think he will be at Auburn for awhile.

Yep, living like a king, kickin back at lake martin with very little pressure.

recruiting? ethics?

If those kinds of things insult your sensitivities then you need to stay far, far, away from major college sports and hell, big time high school sports as well.

Don't kid yourself into thinking Pearl is any worse than most everyone else. He ain't no choirboy but neither is ANY other successful coach.

Because Memphis is a better job, much better recruiting and a commitment to basketball.

Auburn is a football school. Always will be

Tennessee is a football school too

Yea right every coach out there commits felonies in order to get recruits.

Memphis is full of rich, white, middle aged men of Jewish faith.

I don't think he is a great coach, but he is a good recruiter, relates well to many of the kids, and gets them to play hard.

This University is trying to make itself attractive for the next round of conference movement. Like it or not, our image is marked by our final four games that have been wiped away. This administration won't hire someone who has had an issue with the NCAA, just for sake of appearances.

That won't have anything to do with it

That along with paying two buyouts, are the only two issues. If it was based on results, Memphis along with 100 other universities would have hired him. He wouldn't have been at UMW for so long, would have had better offers than Tennessee and would have done much better than Auburn.

For all of you Bruce Boosters:
All of you remind me of those hicks from East Tennessee who ran Martin out of town so they could bring back the Pearl. We all know how that turned out, don't we.

Ole Donnie is a real charming second choice, ain't he.

It's the same reason why Marshall turned down NC State. You don't want to be in a middle of the road team in a conference.

To stay at Wichita State?

That's the only thing they can come up with at this time. The "he's our coach K" has apparently run its course.

"They" don't have to come up with anything. I have already admitted several times that I think I was wrong and that I no longer think Josh can make it here. The way I feel about Pearl has absolutely nothing to do with Josh. Pearl is dirty and NCAA just loves Memphis. Im my opinion they'll pounce on every little thing until something sticks. But again, that is my opinion...

Pearl paid $400 every time he got his hair cut, when he was trying to land Leslie McDonald, and didn't try and hide it from anyone.

He also denied that the photo was taken in his house. How stupid can a person be?

Stirred up crap to try and get his job back (lobbied the big boosters even though the admin told him no). This is what led to Cuonzo quitting.

Lied about a player (Brian Williams) having to sit for a hurt back when he was really out for skipping a drug test. Williams was jumping/chest bumping his teammates during player intros of that game with the 'bad back'.

Dude is just a liar all around. Yes, he can coach and motivate and rev up the fan base, but his antics will eventually bring the house down around him.

None of the stuff I listed will get you the death penalty. As evidence, all of I (and more) happened, and no death penalty ensued. Pretty much nothing will any more. They did it once to SMU and it wont ever happen again. Too many lawyers and too much money.

That's beside the point though.
Pearl won't do anything major is my point. He just does all the little things that tell you he thinks he is above the rules, and outside the control of his AD. Eventually there is blowback from that. Give him enough time and he'll create a mess.

Bruce Pearl would be a home run hire for all the right reasons.

Speaking of sold out arena's. Our next home game is against Cincy, one of our long time rivals, a game that in recent history has been a sellout. I'll be at the game, as I am all Tiger home games, but pay attention to the empty seats at this game. It won't be a sellout and there'll be many empty seats in the arena. Time for a change.

Pearle was in Iowa a single consent state, the call was to Illinois a dual consent state, when that is done ALL parties must give consent.
