Tennessee men's basketball coach Bruce Pearl was ejected from the West High School gym during the Rebels' game Thursday night after criticizing the officiating of a Tennessee Secondary Schools Athletic Association official. Near the end of the fourth quarter of West's 72-63 overtime victory over Campbell County, official Shane Mynatt stopped play and asked that the first-year Vols coach leave.
"I said it loud enough for him to hear that maybe he should change ends with the other official,'' Pearl said. "And he looked at me, and he put the whistle in his mouth like I was coaching and he was going to give me a technical.
"I said, 'What, are you going to throw me out?' And he ran over to security. Before anything could happen, I just left the gym and went to the concession stand.''
:lol: He really does like to work doesn't he?
