The three of you need to stop the name calling. I'm tired of it.

So just answer the question. Do you think Bruce Pearl is currently lying to the media when the NCAA knows the chain of events?
I hate that if anyone disagrees with hat then all of his cronies get after them. It makes me not even want to come to the basketball forum. I appreciate the solid info he brings to the boards, but his nut hangers are ridiculous sometimes.
It would help him gain some respect from a disapointed fan base. It would at least show that he was wanting everything to be out in the open.

I am pissed off now. I saw his interview on ESPN and he acted like he deserved a medal for telling the truth after the fact. I used to get excited about Pearl now I feel like he is just a liar or really disalussioned. Now his wife goes on twitter and states he is getting crucified. I mean come on. Accept responsibility and grow up. He doesn't sound to apologetic. I can't even support him anymore.
But that makes no sense. You do realize how common secondary violations are at every school, right. I doubt any fan is waiting on him to hold a press conference on discussing a minor secondary violation that occurred I believe it was at least 10 years ago that resulted in no punishment that I know of.
Edit: You're right it was in 04, but it still is the same. Why would we care about a minor secondary violation in 04?
Some of you in this thread are ridiculous. Bruce did something bad and has apologized. If he screws up again he will probably be fired. Get over it.
The bottom line is that our program was nothing before CBP. We had never even been to an elite 8. It is possible that we would not fall back into mediocrity without him, but there is no reason to think that. We would have to shell out big bucks and get lucky to get another great coach / recruiter.
If you all want to keep hating on CBP and think he is such a bad guy, then stop being a Tennessee basketball fan. Since CBP is so bad you guys should switch to being bandwagon UK basketball fans. I have heard they have a great coach and he is a very scrupulous person. He has never lied or cheated in his coaching career.
