| The Mechanics of the Show-Cause
As I understand it, the show-cause penalty is only relevant for a coach seeking employment from a member institution. In other words, before a school can hire a guy who has been hit with this penalty, they would have to "show cause" as to why they should be able to hire that individual without negative repercussion.
This penalty is therefore only going to be given to a guy who has already been fired. By definition, it doesn't apply to a guy who already has a job. So if Pearl doesn't get fired, the question of show-cause doesn't even come into play. And if he does get fired, none of us should really particularly care whether he gets hit with the penalty as it will be quite irrelevant to our program.
So why is it that everybody and their cousin on this board seems fixated on the "show-cause" vs. not "show-cause" issue? Why is it continually raised and discussed in seemingly every thread on this board?
What is it that I'm missing or misunderstanding about this particular penalty? Somebody please enlighten me. |

| I think people just use the term "show cause" as a sort of umbrella term since it is the most severe of the penalties that the NCAA can hit a coach with. The assumed fallout is that a show cause makes a coach radioactive and any school employing a coach saddled with that penalty will surely get nailed by the NCAA as well to the tune of scholarship reductions and a post season ban.

| I admit I dont understand alot about it, so IF CBP doesnt get fired, the "show cause" doesnt really affect us? Or would there be other penalty such as a ban? If the NCAA doesn't think that CBP will be fired, would they use a different penalty? I am confused... | |

| Show cause can be given to a coach who has a current job. The penalty will put them on probation/suspension and before being allowed to return to full duty the institution, UT, will have to show cause.

| Bruce Pearl- Lied to NCAA about feeding cheeseburgers and potato salad to recruits at his house. After the cookout, Pearl called the recruits and begged them not to give up his wife's recipe for the potato salad, claiming it was a family secret. | |

| I found this interesting on the Wiki show cause page when discussing Dave Bliss:
"Two of his assistants were also given show-cause penalties of five and seven years, respectively. The assistant who taped the conversations escaped NCAA punishment, but has been effectively blackballed by the coaching fraternity; his only coaching job since the scandal was one year as a graduate assistant at a Division II school." | |

| The question I have is, what is a valid "cause" that a school can "show"?
