If that merits a dismissal, we might as well close down our sports programs.
He was angry and said something very wrong. But, dismissal? Would our rivals?

When you’re season goes to crap players get into trouble off the field and quit on the field.Kids today can’t handle adversity,

Straight thug.

Ummm no and I’ve been a sheriff deputy for 25 years

I know it looks bad but he is a dumb kid that was frustrated. Honestly, I don't think that was an awful situation. Banks learns a lesson. Pruitt got to "support" banks but pruitt did not interfear.

Should have dumped a bucket of water on the officer's head. Apparently, that's acceptable behavior.

Not ideal words, agree....but, even me, at 49, grew up to rap songs such as “**** the police”...

A societal indoctrination...

I am sure you have seen and heard much worse.

 

[volfan2024]

Bye bye JB. Definitely a line was crossed. I worked with teenaged delinquents long enough to know you either can control your mouth and admit to yourself you made a mistake and go on or you can't.

That’s a lot like saying you shouldn’t be held accountable for the things you do drunk.

Dismissal: no
Warrant more than an apology: absolutely

I was watching a popular vols football talk show and it was said that CJP needs more thugs on the team.

Very sad to read this but not ready to toss Banks over it. I believe that we have yet to see the best from this young man and to get there he needs people like Coach Pruitt around him.

Swain says this a lot.

Since his car was not impounded, officers helped Banks call a friend to come and pick it up. However, when the friend arrived, officers found his license was suspended as well.

Banks' friend called another person to come to pick up the car. With his license coming back as valid, Banks asked for them to post his bond and they were able to move the car.

LOL

And at least looks like Pruitt was going to bat for him as much as he could. Also shows we have no juice with the local PD, unlike Pruitt is probably used to in bamaland.

"So why do you, I mean, why do you have to arrest him just 'cause he's a warrant?" Pruitt can be heard saying over the phone.

"That's because the state of Tennessee is the one who issued the warrant so I have to take him in for that warrant. Like I said, I have no choice about that. If it was just a suspended license, I could have discretion on that," the officer replied.

What he said was true. They do shoot at the police in Memphis. And as for running wish I had a nickel for every time I heard that one

 

[LittleVol]

Banks had two nasty interceptions against UTC!

I think he's coming along real well. Very athletic and physical!!

 

[Behr]

Its Pruitt's fault, Banks isn't responsible for this.

 

[hmhawk]

I'll leave punishment up to Pruitt. He's still a youngen. JMHO

Busted!

I’d rather our coach deal with practice and game plans than a call at 3 am because his kids can handle themselves in public

 

[rjd970]

The amount I care about this could maybe fill a matchbox.

 

[Volsfaninva917]

Busted!

I'm so confused

I wonder if Jeremy went back to sleep that night.

Need to put on more steam in Memphis. Memphis is a tough city. I am from Memphis as well.
