He took UT to an elite 8. Our team was beaten to shit with only 7 scholarship players by the time we got to the tournament last year. He lost arguably his 2 best players last year and still won the SEC. Give him a roster loaded with 5* and I think you would see him put a team in final 4.
He hosted a BBQ that was an NCAA violation and lied about it. How does that stack up with KU, Oregon, Arizona, and LSU getting caught buying players?
Person was busted for taking kick backs from a financial adviser that he was setting current players up with. Why would Bruce have been involved in that? If anything, Person was increasing the likelihood our top guys left for the pros early. He was not accused of doing anything related to recruiting.
Pearl has nothing to do with the FBI investigation. Our assistant coach was in dire financial straights and started taking money to steer players to a financial adviser. Why would Bruce participate in that? He certainly didn't need the money and the violations did nothing to improve our team. If anything, it made guys more likely to go pro early.
Our fans used to say the same stuff about cal, you realize that, right?
lol..yea ok buddy...I guess it was just me and Matt Jones then. Actually, I wanted Cal here bad and did not care about the stuff he had supposedly done because it was not that serious. But nice attempt to live in denial, or maybe you are just 14 or 15.
I bet you would warship him if he came here.
I'm aware of the new rule. Unlike most of the other teams involved, we sat our players involved and self reported the violations. NCAA ruled our guys were eligible to play again after missing all of last year. (+9 more games for Purifoy) If the NCAA was going to sanction us further, they would have done so already based on the violations we self reported.
Thanks for finding that. I had heard there was another minor issue after the BBQ but never saw the details. Since Bruce got a show cause for that, what should the NCAA give Sean Miller, Will Wade and Bill Self?
Making crap up? I am referring to the evidence that has already come out. Coaches are on tape talking about buying players and agents/shoe execs testified they were doing it at the request of the coaches.
Excuses? Those are facts. He won the SEC last year after losing his 2 best players.
That's nice, return to your board please...
Um, he taped a guy who had just committed to another school, trying to get him to admit that the other school cheated to get him I.e. by giving him money and a car. It was dirty as hell. He's a rat plain and simple. I don't want a rat coaching UK.
