    Seems the same thing happened in '04 when he was coaching at U of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I know coaches can claim they did nothing wrong once but no way you can do it second time and claim ignorance.

    Bruce Pearl of Tennessee also had recruits to house while at UW-Milwaukee - ESPN

    When Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl reportedly invited top junior recruits to his Knoxville, Tenn., home in fall of 2008, violating NCAA rules, it wasn't the first time he crossed that line.

    Kevin Fitzgerald, the compliance director at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee -- where Pearl previously coached -- confirmed that the university self-reported a violation on Aug. 19, 2004, after "Coach Pearl invited a prospect [and his parents] to his daughter's graduation party hosted at his house, a violation of 13.05.5.3."
