Bruce Pearl & Tennessee to face the NCAA's Committee on Infractions
June 8, 2011 1:15 PM
On Saturday, the former men's basketball coaches at Tennessee will go in front of the Committee on Infractions in Indianapolis with the intention of challenging at least one of the three major violations that were thrown at the staff.
According to multiple sources with knowledge of the situation, the "bump" that former coach Bruce Pearl and associate head coach Tony Jones had with Oak Hill Academy (Va.) 2012 recruit Jordan Adams on Sept. 14, 2010, will be refuted by the two coaches during their testimony.
The bump happened just four days after a news conference in which Pearl tearfully apologized for initially misleading investigators. Pearl and Jones will say that the contact with Adams was inadvertent, not intentional, and lasted only a few moments.
