The failed drug test occurred about a year and a half before his dismissal. The University of Tennessee usually goes by a three strikes and you're out in regards to testing positive for marijuana. He was not allowed to reach this and instead was dismissed from the University for violation of team rules.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-27473771860403018092008-07-02T20:46:00.000-04:002008-07-02T20:46:00.000-04:00The article, however, said he had failed a drug te...The article, however, said he had failed a drug test.

He can be caught red handed. If Pearl had set the team rules and Crews' goals to not smoke marijuana and he was caught doing it then he is off the team for violation of team rules.<BR/><BR/>Coaches do not have to let the University or NCAA become involved by allowing the practice to continue until they are caught by one of the above institutions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2888315372276404701.post-90068437149090565402008-07-02T14:05:00.000-04:002008-07-02T14:05:00.000-04:00However, Crews' release from Tennessee states he f...However, Crews' release from Tennessee states he failed no drug tests for the university or ncaa.
