[QUOTE="ESPNjacket, post: 225236, member: 2775"] You have to start with the Deon Thomas situation. Pearl broke a bunch of unwritten rules in the coaching profession (turning in other coaches, taping conversations) and was blackballed for years from the top programs. There are many pieces written about it if you want to read more about it. They are easy to find by searching for Bruce Pearl Deon Thomas. On the more recent front, this stands out to me ([URL='http://sportsworld.nbcsports.com/if-you-win-theres-always-another-job/']from this story[/URL]): On Sept. 10, 2010, Pearl delivered his tearful apology to the Tennessee faithful, a press conference where he came clean about the violations he had committed and the lies he had told. He was admitting his mistakes, making himself the sacrificial lamb. Pearl had learned his lesson, or so he wanted every one to believe. Four days later, according to the notice of allegations that the NCAA sent Tennessee, on Sept. 14th, Pearl and assistant coach Tony Jones met with former UCLA guard Jordan Adams for two-to-three minutes at Oak Hill Academy, Adams’ high school. Adams was a junior at the time, which made the visit a clear violation of NCAA rules. [/QUOTE]
