Bruce Pearl’s Staff Made Over 100 Impermissible Phone Calls; Kelvin Sampson Isn’t Impressed
1-liner, All, College Basketball September 21st. 2010, 2:15pm
Bruce Pearl: The bad news continues for the Tennessee basketball coach. “Documents obtained by ESPN.com via a Freedom of Information Act request show that the University of Tennessee self-reported several NCAA violations involving its men’s basketball team, including nearly 100 impermissible phone calls to various recruits.” On the surface – not a huge deal. But coupled with last week’s news? This feels like one of those moment where Pearl will be fine … if nothing else pops up in the coming weeks. Lay low, Bruce. Quit talking to the media.

Why is anyone ever surprised when a college team violates ncaa rules? The real story is one a program and coach is actually clean.

The even bigger surprise is when the NCAA decides to actually look into a program.
September 21st, 2010 at 2:29 PM
Must be on dem Jimmy Johnson dick pills.
September 21st, 2010 at 2:30 PM
They look at programs just enough to justify their jobs, but not too much where the product on the field/court suffers.
September 21st, 2010 at 2:33 PM
hey Coach Pearl, Kelvin Sampson called and said you better step it up.
September 21st, 2010 at 2:36 PM
Bob Knight was an ass, but at least he was concerned about his students.

Exactly. Myles Brand rests in piece.

Can someone explain to me what do college coaches cell phone bills have anything to do with the Freedom of Information act?
I didn’t realize the government enacted that bill simply for ESPN, Fox Sports, and USA Today to smear and kick coaches when they’re already down.

If they work for a state/public university they are a state employee and if the school is providing the phone bill, then it is open to punlic scrutiny
September 21st, 2010 at 2:41 PM
punlic? I meant pubic
September 21st, 2010 at 2:42 PM
If a coach works for a public university, he is a public employee and therefore the phone at his office and a cell phone given to him by the school are matters of public record and their logs can be obtained by you, me, the press, Scott Baio, or anyone else who cares.
September 21st, 2010 at 2:43 PM
Hey, cleet, jinx! Also, the word of the day is pubic

September 21st, 2010 at 2:45 PM
I guess we should just ignore the good things that FIOA has led to because this one time it is damaging the reputation of a college coach who did something he was not supposed to.

Now I’m nervous that Scott Baio is going to find out how much my wife makes as a teacher. Never did trust that guy.
September 21st, 2010 at 2:49 PM
awesome. So awesome.

I think it’s an NCAA law that more than a week cannot pass without bad news surfacing regarding the University of Tennessee. FML.

Of all the things wrong with Rookie of the Year the manager deciding to use a relief pitcher to pinch-hit becase “he’ll have to learn sometime” upset me more than anything else
