Will Mike Hunt be blogging about this?

Great hire. Sure he's had his run ins, but the guy flat out wins. Is Ben Howland the other available crown jewel at this point?

How can that be? Mike Hunt may well be in the parking lot, but he generally is not in the vicinity of accurate when it comes to MU hoops

Sure he's had his run ins...

Does Auburn use a dedicated salary cap fund for football or will they have to share with men's basketball under Pearl?

No. He only knows how to google "Buzz Williams" to get his information.

Great hire by Auburn.
I really think DePaul should have considered Pearl. Would have made for another interesting coach with a name in the Big East

Made the mistake of lying to the NCAA about violations and paid the penalty. He can coach and recruit, and better do it cleanly now.

The mistake Pearl made was not getting out before he got caught. You can get away with it in the NCAA as long as you aren't there when the hammer falls. Worked for Calipari, Carroll, and Kelly. Pearl just needs to have his bags packed and be ready to jog off to the next job when the NCAA comes a-calling.

Pearl had Aaron Craft over to the house for a BBQ. I'm sure Thad Motta did a heck of a lot more than that. Difference is, Pearl has enemies dating back to the 80's. Those grudges are still haunting him.

What do Pearl's enemies dating back to the 80s have with lying to the NCAA?
