Maybe this will help him concern himself with some of the "details" he has overlooked for a while now.

Your right. As long as you are past half court you might as well shoot it! If you don't somebody else will!

He actually did nothing, a bunch of kids who did not want to respect a program did something. If many of you remember a kid who was highly recruited and signed a LOI for UNC, got busted for intent to distribute marijuana in NC. He moved on to Ok St, and had a decent college career. The truth is the Coaches do some investigating in the recruits attitude, work ethic, and discipline. If a kid decides to act out of line once he start a new life at a program, whose fault is that?

Pearl was trying his best to make kids have passion and work hard. It is the kids who need to face a gut-check on whethere they will can move past whatever life they had at home and become part of a univeristy, an athletic program and a family in Tennessee.

Perhaps we can now get rid of the gang look. Getting rid of the headbands would be a nice touch too.

But they make your team look so cool. In a Fonzi sort of a way.

Too many players involved and too many rumors to play this card. I've heard them in Lex from more connected bball people for quite a while.

As disappointed as I am in this team, I don't care if they wear turbans as long as they can show some sort of basketball IQ.

Sure losing the players hurt his team but I bet he's a little more hurt personally that it was Tyler.

This is one area where I actually agree with Cowherd...

I can give a football coach a pass in areas like this for an isolated incident. A basketball coach has as many assistants as players, and should know what the hell is going on with his players. Especially with the number of players involved here.
