Bruce Pearl resurfaces

Haven't heard much about Bruce Pearl since he was fired and replaced at Tennessee by Cuonzo Martin??

Well -- I have some news to help end your Pearl-drought....

The NBA D-League Maine Red Claws are looking for a new head coach and they are currently in talks with Bruce Pearl!
Bruce is holding out for a TV analyst job or an NBA assistant job knowing he might get banned from coaching in college when the NCAA finally rules (it takes forever if you are a BCS school!)

BTW -- one of Bruce's players if he takes the job would be ex-Illini and ex-Richwoods' Jamar Smith who is currently under contract to the Maine Red Claws.
