Bruce Pearl in the News

[tornado]

And somewhat tied to scandal, read on....

Bruce Pearl just hired an assistant to replace the one he lost
but guess where this guy is from?
He is the ex-head coach of Barton Co. Community College. (sound familiar? Barton Co. CC has had its name embroiled lately with scandal and transcript forgery)
and spent time at both Illinois State and Texas A&M just like Lance Irvin did.

This guy's pride and joy is that he coached Aleksandar Radojevic, who played at Barton County, was the 12th overall selection by the Toronto Raptors in the 1999 NBA Draft.

BUT--this is the guy who is the central figure in the Ohio State scandal who was paid by the then Ohio State coach Jim O'Brien and given lots of perks.

[Fastbreak]

Forbes was the head coach at Barton County who hired as assistant Ryan Wolf. Wolf became head coach when Forbes left, and he since been hit with federal fraud, embezzlement, and falsifgying records charges. Forbes has not been implicated in the mess but was the one who hired Wolf in the first place.
