Former Tennessee assistant Steve Forbes told CBSSports.com on Monday that he has reached an agreement to join Gregg Marshall's staff at Wichita State. This development means Forbes is the first person from Bruce Pearl's staff at UT to reenter the NCAA.

Forbes is one of three UT assistants who was, along with Pearl, fired in March 2011 during an NCAA investigation rooted in a now infamous cookout Pearl held at his home in violation of NCAA bylaws. Pearl was photographed at the cookout with Aaron Craft, a current star at Ohio State who was at the time a junior in high school and not allowed to be with Pearl anywhere off of the UT campus. When presented with the photo and asked about its origin by a NCAA investigator, Forbes and fellow assistants Jason Shay and Tony Jones essentially tried to cover for Pearl. They were caught off-guard and admittedly evasive. Consequently, each was given a one-year show-cause penalty that expired last August. Pearl was cited for unethical conduct and given a three-year show-cause penalty that will expire in August 2014. He's now an analyst for ESPN.

both the Tennessee fans and the UW-M fans are hoping they can get Bruce Pearl just as soon as his sanctions end next year...
nobody cares about cheating - just winning...

Yet another of the Bruce Pearl assistants who cheated at Tennessee has been hired, now that his NCAA ban has ended!!
(Shay was proven by NCAA while at Tennessee to have made impermissible phone calls, given impermissibble benefits including paying for the
hotel & lodging expenses of multiple recruits & their famililes that were hosted on campus at Tennessee, then he was cited for
lying, he had "violated the NCAA's principles of honesty", and provided false information as NCAA investigated.)

"Galesburg native Jason Shay is returning to NCAA Division I basketball
as an assistant coach at North Dakota."

"Shay chose not to comment on his situation leading up to and following his departure from Tennessee.
“I’m two years removed from Tennessee,” he said. “I’ve put that in the past.’"

Not much doubt that when Pearl's ban ends next year - he'll be a hot commodity...
