Donnie Tyndall hired as head coach

[Knuckleheaded]

Other coaches knew about Tyndall and his issues at Southern Miss, Tennessee didn’t look hard enough into his background because the warning signs were everywhere.

Must have been some gross malpractice on Hart's part.

Rush job...thought he had Mike White and when that fell apart he moved quick to Tyndall.

That 1-year debacle should have culminated with Hart's termination, then.

I really believe had he stayed and remained clean, UT basketball would have been successful. The guy can flat out coach.

Yes we would have been great with his stellar 60 ppg offense. Lmao.

We got lucky.

You always wonder, but when it started to come out all the national guys were saying how this was well known information in recruiting circles.

It’s also well known that Will Wade has been doing it too, but he still has a job. Gary Parrish will tell you that it was common knowledge that other coaches in VCU’s league knew what he was doing. Parrish said Wade jumped at one of his first P5 offers because he knew it was time to get out of the conference.

I have no doubt that rumors were that Tyndall skirted the rules but so does everyone else. I doubt it was known that academics were involved.
