I can understand why some fans would want Pearl back here. He is an energetic coach that brought this program to a level never seen before in UT basketball history. Coach Ray Mears did also and both coach"s teams always gave solid efforts on the court.

Right now, CCM is our coach so support him and this team. Pearl"s time in the NCAAs jailhouse in up in September 2014. Which means any job he would possibly take would be April 2015. So why the discussion now.

Yesterday, don't know who heard him on 104.5, but he was very straight forward about his status. Avoided any questions, about the Tennessee team but stated his love for coaching. The crew tried to bait him several times and he talked around all of it well.

A lot of things can happen between now and never never land. Regardless, Any discussion is too premature, disrespectful to our current coach, and sets all of us for disaster.

I hate the NCAA, Congress is a model of them, as an authority of power they got this right regarding Pearl because he committed a major violation. Was the punishment warranted? Yes. To harsh? Maybe. Selective in nature? More than likely. Did he commit the offense? Yes. Is he a good coach? Yes Will he coach again? Yes. Will it be at UT? No way to tell, way to early, plus there may not be a vacancy.

I understand the love affair with Pearl, it's extreme in some cases. At this point for all concerned, it is totally disrespectful to the current coach staff and players by doing so.

Let this go. Yes I was impressed with the way he handled the interview, but I was not impressed with the way he handled the most important interview of his coaching career. Plus the NCAA is a piss poor governing body.

A Major Violation? The BBQ was a secondary, they were just pissed he lied at first, over a BBQ with a recruit who had Verbally committed...

So he deserved a Show Cause...Did Frank Haith's punishment fit his MAJOR VIOLATION? Which was WAAAAAAYYYYY worse than Pearls...The NCAA is a damn joke and should cancel Pearls Show Cause effective immediately...also, **** Thad Matta and Aaron Craft...

Thad Matta and Aaron Craft are both dirt bags. I despise both - they could not handle getting beat by Tennessee in the AA tourney.

Aaron Craft was not with OSU when TN beat them, but I do agree about being dirt bags. I wouldn't piss on either of them if they were to flame up.

I thought in order for Pearl to be hired before his "time" was up is that a team had to prove to the NCAA that they had exhausted all other coaching hire possibilities of all the qualified candidates.

I would rather have them do it here, instead of arguing in other threads or making new ones.

How awful some fans should like not seeing the players in the news for robbing a gas station or doing drugs, along with a coach that doesn't lie to the governing body.

Are u sure none of our players do any thing wrong? Coaches arent players mom or dad, the individual is responsible for their own actions.

When have you seen a Martin player in the news for being arrested for robbing a gas station? When has a Martin player been kicked off the team for drugs? The worst thing that happened was Golden for something that started while Pearl was coach. Coincidence? Hardly.

You truly think it's just a coincidence that we had multiple suspensions, arrests, and players in the news under Pearl.....and under Martin there's been very little of that?

I swear, it's like some people don't care that he made us look like a joke. As someone who loves the University more than it's sports teams, I say good riddance that he is gone.

And I loved Pearl while he was here, but if he were to be rehired I wouldn't support the hoops team with him as the coach.

Stuff like this eventually happens under every coach. Just give it time. It wasn't Pearls fault, nor will it be Martins fault when it happens. It's just young immature men, who can't be watched 24/7.

Absolutely. And Martin hasn't been able to avoid it either. Things we know at least something about...

1. Yemi was accused of rape.
2. Kenny Hall liked to smoke the mean green
3. Trae Golden liked to get it on with women employeed at the university.

I know plenty of people that have surrounded themselves with good people and excellent mentors while in school. It doesn't just happen or anything. A good coach can deter these things, like Martin has. I'm not saying it won't ever, but when it happens at least once a year under a coach, that's questionable.

Pearl was definitely partially to blame, you keep playing with fire you're gonna get burned. It's not as though he had one or two incidents under him, it was an annual occurrence.

2. When did this come out under Martin?

3. Was this ever proven?
