UT has fired JT today, after 23 years of leading the Vols. The AD gave the reason as "gross misconduct." www.swiminfo.com has the story. JT has coached Melvin Stewart, Jeremy Linn, Tripp Schwenk and others to olympic medals in his yeas as a coach.

    Braden Keith at Swimmers Circle claims to know what happened but is reluctant to share until he is clear from a legal standpoint. See the comments below this article: theswimmerscircle.com/.../ I’ve been told what happened, but am trying to figure out how to confirm it/protect us from a defamation lawsuit (people in the swimming community are highly litigious). If what I’ve been told is true – it wasn’t a Sandusky-type of incident, which is good news, but definitely a fireable offense.
