Bruce did record (illegally?) a phone conversation with an Illinois commitment,and then turned the recording over to the NCAA in an attempt to get the Illini in trouble.
Some could interpret that as being scummy

quote:Bruce is a little sketchy, that's all. Recording a conversation and turning it in to hammer a rival team, lying to the NCAA about something as trivial as a BBQ....his morals are borderline.

He's a damn good coach, and a very likable guy. The article even mentions his ability to divert a negative conversation in another direction entirely to where you don't even recall the negativity at all.

No doubt, and Bruce was an assistant to Tom Davis at the time. The Big 10 was full of creepy, Paterno-like coaches in that era: Tom Davis, Gene Keady, Lou Henson
