Flamboyant UT Vol Coach Bruce Pearl has been ejected from another high school game - this time at East Ridge High School.
Pearl showed up Friday night at East Ridge to check out big Pioneers post player Phillip Jurick.
Observers said Pearl was standing along the end of the court and he began jawing with officials.
During the second quarter, a referee stopped the game, ran over to the scorers table and called for an East Ridge administrator.
"This guy has got to go," he said.
The ebullient Vol coach threw up his hands in mock dismay when he learned he was getting the heave-ho. He then left the gym.
He was able to talk his way back into the game a short time later, however, and a quieter Pearl stayed for the rest of the game.
After the contest, he spoke with the coaches and congratulated some of the players, including Notre Dame's Chauncey Thompson.
Pearl last year was ejected from one of his son's high school games.
