Chuck would be icing on the cake for this awesome staff. Do you still think that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure what kind of fan this makes me, but I was not aware of CP getting paid as a player until the FBI thing. I can’t honestly say how I would have felt at his hiring if I had known, but I’d like that think I would have been against it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is part of the reason i'm giving Pearl a pass on these FBI transgressions (other than i like winning ) There was no connection between Pearl and Person until he became the coach at AU. I don't know the details of how and why Person was hired but i imagine he expressed interest in helping with the coaching change and everyone (including myself) thought that would be amazing. Hell i was thinking he'd be a great replacement as HC if Pearl ever left. SO i kinda feel like the AU family brought this on our coach and not the other way around.

AUIH1 1,515 Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 Person was forced on Pearl by Jay Jacobs. Pearl is not clean nor is any HC in basketball or football in any big boy athletic program in D1. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know he will be, and has been truthful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the major reason that I believe, IF Bruce Pearl needs any slack granted to him, the AU PTB that supposedly “forced” CP on Pearl owes CBP a pass on anything for which he is not directly responsible?.

Pearl is not clean nor is any HC in basketball or football in any big boy athletic program in D1. wde If the everyday "fan" only knew about the underground system in place, they'd stroke out. It is what it is and if ANY head coach wants to field a competitive team, they work within the already established system. AAU basketball is absolutely filthy, it's been that way for years, every program with a player that came from the AAU circuit did under the table, shady s#it to get those signatures. Teams heavily involved in AAU have people in place with the school, they work through the system to get the players and they have to grease the right hands to even get access to those players/parents. It costs $$ just to get a face to face meeting with the blue chips & their handlers, to get a foot in the door of momma's living room is mo $$. Football is becoming just as dirty, because some of the same runners use the same channel system as they run basketball. It's rare to see a parent that doesn't have their hand out early when they see the first glimpse of true talent emerge with their kids, and the "legal guardians" are the worst. They know they have a commodity and they want to "cash in" as early as they can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with this is AU's leadership has completely changed at the top and may not have any sympathy towards Pearl for Person being forced on Pearl by the President and AD's predecessors. If they are looking for way to fire Bruce they can skip over that part of how CBP wasn't truly a Bruce hire if they want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
