This is just unbelievable. Bruce Pearl allegedly commited violations AGAIN, this time 4 days AFTER he had a press conference with tears in his eyes.
The report is that 4 days after his press conference, Pearl visited a Junior in high school off campus. As per the link below: NCAA Bylaw 13.1.1.1 states: "Off-campus recruiting contacts shall not be made with an individual (or his or her relatives or legal guardians) before July 1 following the completion of his or her junior year in high school."

The man puts 'douche' in the 'douchebaggery'
Tennessee has to drop Pearl immediately. The NCAA went easy on Calhoun but this being Pearl's second offense is going to be damaging for UT.
How long before Bruce is hired as an assistant on the Bucks staff?
And he was so pure he reported on Illinois when he was in Iowa.
Bruce Pearl is a very good coach, nothing can take that away.
He seems like a smart guy too, I'm surprised he's doing such blatant infractions like lying straight up to NCAA.
What did Knight say, "You need to be shot if the NCAA catches you."
UWM will take him back.

I don't think UWM would take him back.
I was messing around.
But to think of the level of excitement Pearl had at UWM was amazing. Pearl knows how to create fan enthusiasm and work the local press. Pearl and Crean are two of the best at that component.
It's pretty dead at UWM right now as far as enthusiasm and they've got a decent team.
Don't know where he would go if the NCAA is on his azz.
The Knicks and Pearl would be a good match. NY press would eat up what Pearl is serving.

True, but you really cannot fire the CoY of the Horizon league.
Only 7k people at tonight's semifinal game vs. Valpo.
