Bruce Pearl, Steven Pearl latest father-son college basketball handoff

Steven ⁤Pearl to Take Reins at Auburn, Continuing Family Legacy in College Basketball

Auburn announced Monday that Steven Pearl will serve as the⁤ program’s interim⁤ head coach for the 2024-25 ⁤season following the suspension⁣ of his father, Bruce Pearl, due to NCAA ⁢violations. This marks the latest father-son handoff in college basketball ⁢history, ‍echoing transitions seen at programs like Alabama-Birmingham and‍ Davidson.

The move comes after Bruce Pearl was suspended for two games and placed on probation for three years by the NCAA for violating recruiting rules and providing impermissible benefits. Steven Pearl, previously the associate head coach at Auburn, will now lead the ⁤team while his father fulfills his NCAA-mandated obligations. This isn’t the first time a pearl⁣ has⁤ stepped into a prominent coaching role, building on a⁤ family tradition within the sport.

Throughout college‌ basketball history, several programs have experienced a direct transition from father to son at⁣ the helm. One notable example is⁤ at Alabama-Birmingham (UAB), where Gene Bartow coached the Blazers from 1979-1996, compiling a record of 350-193. his son, Murry Bartow,‌ then took over from ⁤1996-2002, achieving a 103-83 record before⁢ resigning to pursue other coaching opportunities.

“After consultation over the last few days with many of my friends ⁣in the basketball community I felt‍ it was in my best interests to pursue other opportunities within the coaching profession,” Murry Bartow ⁤said in a 2002 statement.

More recently, Davidson college saw a similar transition. Bob‍ McKillop led the Wildcats for 33 ‍seasons (1989-2022), amassing a 634-380 record and coaching future NBA star Steph ‌Curry. Upon his retirement in june 2022, his son, Matt McKillop, assumed the head coaching position. As of september 2025, Matt McKillop holds a 48-49 overall record at Davidson, ‍having ‌previously served as an assistant coach under his father ‍for 14 seasons. the Wildcats finished 6-12 in the Atlantic 10 last season, reaching the second⁤ round of the conference tournament.

Georgia Releases Injury Report Ahead⁤ of SEC Clash⁣ with Tennessee

KNOXVILLE, ⁢Tenn. – The Southeastern ⁣Conference has released its weekly⁣ injury report, detailing the availability of⁤ Georgia players for Saturday’s game‌ against Tennessee. This marks the second season the SEC has implemented reporting policies for teams prior to conference ⁣matchups.

The SEC distributes daily reports on Wednesdays,⁢ thursdays, and Fridays, with a final update 90 minutes before game⁣ time. Georgia’s report lists five players, with offensive tackle Earnest Greene designated as ‌probable and offensive guard ‍juan ⁣gaston as questionable. Three freshmen are listed as out.

“This is not ‍a game that you want somebody out there that’s not 100% healthy out there playing,” Georgia coach Kirby Smart said⁣ on Wednesday,‌ Sept. 10. “It’s going to be physical, it’s going to be speedy, ⁣it’s going⁤ to ‍be violent.All⁣ SEC games are, but this one really is going to be that way.”

Smart noted on Tuesday that Gaston and Greene had demonstrated “good progress” in practice. “I really liked the way both⁣ of them ‌looked,” he said. “I like the reps took. … We’ve got to make a good judgement.”

Here’s a‍ breakdown of Georgia’s injury report:

Out:

TE Ethan Barbour, ankle
OLB Chase linton, undisclosed
⁣ WR Thomas Blackshear, undisclosed

Questionable:

OL⁣ Juan gaston, ankle

Probable:

* OT⁤ Earnest Greene, back

Clemson, LSU football to play in Death Valley. Whose claim is better?

by Priya Shah – Business Editor August 31, 2025

written by Priya Shah – Business Editor

Death Valley debate Reignites as ⁤Clemson ‍and LSU Prepare to Clash

BATON ROUGE, La. – The rivalry between Clemson and LSU extends beyond the ⁣gridiron and into ‍a decades-long debate: who truly owns the⁤ moniker “Death Valley”? As the Tigers of both schools prepare to face‌ off in ⁢Memorial Stadium -‌ Clemson’s home – on September 21, 2024, the question of rightful claim ‌to‌ the intimidating nickname is once again at the forefront.

The origins of “Death ⁢valley” ⁣are often misattributed to filmmaker Jordan ⁣peele, ⁢who used the name⁤ in a ⁣comedic sketch referencing LSU’s Tiger Stadium. Though, the nickname’s roots trace back to a⁢ 1959 Sugar Bowl victory for‍ LSU over Clemson. Following a 7-0 win that secured⁤ the national championship for the Tigers, LSU fans began proclaiming‌ “death” over the team hailing from Clemson’s ⁢home, then ⁢simply known ‌as Memorial Stadium.

While‍ LSU‍ fans initially popularized the‍ term, it ‍didn’t fully stick until the 1988 “Earthquake Game.” LSU’s 7-6 upset⁤ of No. 4 Auburn generated such a raucous atmosphere that it “triggered a seismograph in a geoscience lab 1,000 feet away ⁢from the stadium,” according to ESPN.

Clemson’s claim rests⁤ on⁤ its long-standing home-field advantage at Memorial stadium, which opened in 1952. Entering the 2025 ‍season, the Tigers boast a 345-106-7 (.761) all-time record within its walls. Under head coach Dabo Swinney, who took the helm in 2008, Clemson has gone‌ 99-12 at home.

LSU’s Tiger ‌Stadium,opened in 1924,presents an equally formidable record. ⁢The Tigers are 457-151-18 (.744) all-time at home, and a⁢ remarkable 147-24 since 2000. Notably,‍ LSU is 360-111-3 all-time in night ⁤games at‍ Tiger Stadium, adding to‌ its intimidating⁤ reputation. Since ‍Brian Kelly’s ‌arrival in 2022, ⁤LSU has‍ gone 19-2 ‌at‍ home, including a perfect 7-0 ‌record in 2023 with SEC⁤ victories⁢ over florida, ⁣Texas ⁤A&M, Auburn, and Arkansas.

Ultimately, the “true” Death Valley remains a ⁣matter of passionate debate. Both Clemson and LSU have built compelling cases through decades of dominant home performances ‍and fervent fan support. The upcoming matchup‍ will ‌undoubtedly add another ⁢chapter to⁤ this storied⁢ rivalry and‍ the ongoing quest⁣ to claim the name.
