Terry Foster on EMU Men's Hoops
I missed the show, but saw Terry Foster from 97.1 the Ticket tweeted the following...
"Bruce Pearl fired at Tennessee. Should Eastern Michigan give him a call?"
-and-
"So who is going to be Eastern Michigan's next basketball coach? Bruce Pearl? Or Larry Brown?"
Now don't get super excited Dennis... :dirtyvegas:
My question is, WAS THERE SOMETHING THAT WAS BEING DISCUSSED DURING THE SHOW THAT MADE HIM POST THIS AND IF SO WHAT WAS THE CONTEXT? Did anyone hear the show who can provide some clarity?

I was listening right about the time he posted those tweets, although I missed a few minutes, and I didn't hear them mention EMU, Brown, or Pearl. It was mostly a lot of talk about UMich basketball today, for obvious reasons.
Personally, I definitely don't want Pearl in Ypsi. Not only did he get busted for similar recruiting violations at two different schools, but when it happened (the second time) at Tennessee he lied about not knowing the rule!
I know Brown also had a recruiting scandal at the end of his time at Kansas, but I don't really know the details. EMU needs someone who will win, but running a clean program is even more important.

Terry is not the type of reporter who breaks stories like some source tells him a scoop that no one knows.
Sometimes he just puts steams of consciousness out there without a whole lot of facts or solid info behind it.

Pearl is a crook! Ramsey is in. If Gragg hasen't made a decision by now, the basketball program is status quo.
Hope the staff is out recruiting!

Quinn Snyder would be a better hire for EMU than Pearl.
Midwest recruiting ties, much younger, and not quite as much baggage with the NCAA. Five years ago, he was on his way to being the next Coach K.

This is heading off-topic, but did anyone else notice that in the Tennessee AD's announcement that Pearl was fired, he mentioned that additional NCAA violations occurred in March 2011. That's right THIS MONTH, when Pearl knew he was on the hot seat!

I heard that... Apparently they were committed by his assistants though. None the less, you gotta keep your crew in check.
