Pearl broke rules at UWM, and broke rules at UT.
I get that every coach bends the rules, the difference is he got caught and lied.
Will he all of a sudden become the cleanest coach in the country, is that what you're saying?
My worry if I'm hart, and something I need cleared up, is what do ticky tack violations get me from the NCAA? If I have a player shoot on the court during a visit like Martin let Hubbs, will you tell me not to do it again and that be it? Or will you punish my university more because of who our coach is?
Why don't you say he lied, got setup, told the truth and paid his dues.
Your spin is unbelievable. Half truths or just not telling it all.
Ever tried driving a car forward while only focused on the rear view Mirrors. If that is the method you choose do it then you are never going to move forward without an accident.
Here we go again, ticky tack violations arguments. Who knows at this point, it will be addressed and there is an easy fix.
The problem with the NCAA is not lying to them, the problem is telling them the truth.
Again, I told you it would be a 360 degree argument. Half of a cup vs the cup is half full.
Lets argue it this way. Martin Resigns, we don't have a coach, nobody wants to come here, we can't afford who we really want. The incoming recruits De-commit
some of the players on the team move to other universities, fan base are no shows, a lot of drama over every potential hire, fans threatened to no-show games.
The NCAA is a joke....when it comes to investigating...The fear of a law suit sends them running. If their punishment was fair and equitable then fine but face it, it is very selective.
We were in the barrel, Kiffin got us there, also I think other coaches were jealous of Pearl, Summit, the facilities and everything else UTK has to offer. No other Coach wanted to go to the extremes that Pearl did with his team and really the NCAA deeper look at the program was about Pearl's past, Kiffin's arrogance and Summit's domination. When you have players receiving money and you do nothing about it then we have a problem.
Have you signed the petition or you just waiting for Martin to be let go. You stay on top of Vol Basketball well and I truly appreciate your input regarding the team bubble games and your enthusiasm it is all good. When it gets personal or emotional with you you become a little more arrogant and slanted.
Plenty of time for non productive arguments and negative discussions. We can what if this to death.
Let me add, that for 3 years I counseled and mentored convicted felons while in prison before they returned to society. It is all about the individuals acceptance of accountability and the individuals acceptance of responsibility with his community and family when he returns......
