Are we supposed to believe Bruce Pearl didn't know about point shaving at BC?

Finally got around to watching the 30 for 30 "Playing for the Mob".
Did not know that Bruce Pearl was a student aid to the basketball team at the time all of this was going on. I find it hard to believe that being as close to the players as he was, he was oblivious to what was going on in the program.

"Knowing what I know about betting and knowing what I know about college basketball, to think that people would invest a lot of money in only a part-time power forward to fix games is ridiculous," Sharon said. "How many touches is he going to get in the game? How many crucial touches? It's beyond my sensibility to believe that Ricky Kuhn was the only one involved."
Lavine questioned prosecutors he interviewed for "Playing for the Mob" if they found evidence from watching the games of intentional mistakes, errant shots, unforced turnovers or lack of effort. "They told me unless a player admits it, it's impossible to prove if something is a mistake or if something's done on purpose," Lavine said.
Then-Boston College coach Dr. Tom Davis testified that he never suspected anything. Current Auburn coach Bruce Pearl was a student aid for the team and agreed with Davis.
"There was absolutely nothing that I saw take place that year as a student aid that would have led me to believe that anything was going on in the way of fixing games," Pearl told Lavine in "Playing for the Mob." "It is only in hindsight that you look back and say 'I wonder why he wasn't aggressive' or 'how could he miss those two free throws late,' but you just never would have suspected anything along the lines of those guys fixing games."

Also, an Iron Bowl basketball thread feels weird.

After your last post, your stance on this issue is unsurprising.

Common agreeance among experts that you tend to be more wordy when you lie.

That is something you will have to figure out how to change. I don't know why you are like you are. The first step to change is admitting you are an idiot. The second step is to stop acting like one.

This didn't answer the question at all. Might need to reread it.
