Rule 1 in dealing with the NCAA: Don't lie to the NCAA.

Rule 1 in dealing with your boss: Don't lie to your boss.

Seems like it should be easy enough not to do either of these things.

You forgot Rule #3 which I consider his biggest blunder-don't tell the kids to lie to cover for you

Pearl not bringing an experienced attorney or at least consulting one was first mistake. The first piece of advice that an attorney will tell you regarding sworn testimony is to always tell the truth. Lying was his second and most costly mistake.

I was under the impression that Hamilton knew what they were after, but he was too afraid of the NCAA to tell Pearl the truth. But, I may be wrong on that.

You mean you have to talk to a lawyer before you know you are supposed to tell the truth?

Not as long as Cheek is at UT. He's a bureaucrat. If he did try to get him back that would be admitting that he made a mistake firing him in the first place, and bureaucrats don't like to every admit a mistake.

No, I have just been around enough attorneys to hear them say that to witnesses over and over again about how to testify.

Are you accusing me of being a liar?

I got a feeling that if UT were to get back Pearl and add him to Butch and all the hype he has created... We could see big things at UT... Greatness

It was the NCAA; not a court of law. He wasn't giving sworn testimony . . . which perplexes me even more about what he did.

People think I hate the guy, but that's not true. I sat right in front of him at a football several years ago, talked to him all night and had a great time. I just can't believe how stupidly he handled himself.

BP strikes me as the kind of person who can carry an affection for Vol fans and the legacy here - while still coming into TBA and cleaning house as the Auburn coach.

If this coaching change ends up bringing a winning dynasty to UT Basketball, it will always be traced back to Pearl showing this generation of UT fans what UT men's basketball could be.... fans and boosters that could no longer settle for the mediocrity they once called "normal".

Um if the coaching change brings a winning dynasty, then Pearl isn't coming in and "cleaning house" in TBA. Unless you mean in the sense we're wiping the floor with his team.

He made a mistake in firing a coach that NCAA had dead to rights, on tape, lying, and was about to give a 3 year show cause. U.T. could have rode that to the bottom with Pearl, but I'm pretty sure that has never happened in the history of NCAA violating coaches.

Dear Bruce, I know you read the message board from time to time. We miss you. Perhaps in time we shall be one again. We (Tennessee) were destined to be together. Come home, come home.

From Bleacher Report:

"I wasn't surprised. I wasn't," Pearl told Athlon Sports this week. "Cuonzo didn't seem to be happy there. I know they talked about the fact that he had to overcome following me, and I understand that we had success, but they still had 18,000 people come to every single game. Overcome that or not, they got great support in Knoxville, great facilities, great university. The embracing needs to work both ways, so I'm happy for coach Martin."

"He maintained a level of success that we worked really hard to create," Pearl told Athlon. "I'm grateful to coach Martin as a former Tennessee head basketball coach, and a Vol for life, I'm grateful for the job he did because he kept it going. I wish him nothing but success at Cal, and if he wasn't happy there and he didn't feel appreciated there, then I'm glad he's not there because I want somebody there that wants to be there. So I appreciate the job he did and I'm happy for him and his family that they got a chance to move on."

I did not sign the petition, but I'd put up 5 grand in a second for the cause if Pearl were back leading our Vols.

Think it over Bruce. :)

Hart needs to offer Bruce now. Do it now and split the buyout with him.. Tell Bruce he can earn the money back with a sec champ... Bruce could do that cuz he owns Donovan.

Ah - now $5,000 - that's some money. here's what i'd want for $5,000:

1) Long-term contract with a large buy-out - I dont want my big jew running off to some other team after a few champs. 10 years minimum - $10,000,000 buyout

2) BBQs - let's talk about them since they are the elephant in the room. No more. NO MORE BBQS. NO MORE BBQS without plenty of BEER FOR EVERYONE! Why wasn't I invited, I'm upset about this.

3) If you are going to overtext the recruits, let's at least do it in class and make sure each recruit has the latest smart phone.

4) Send Steven Pearl somewhere else, he needs some time away from daddy for a few years.

That depends. When you speak to an attorney on the phone and raise your eyes, is the first thing you generally see plexiglass?

Lol, not at all, I work with prosecutors to adjudicate criminal cases. But, I do on some occasions deal with defense attorneys during the process.
