WAFB/WBRZ needs to get after JA and ask about the state of the beaskrtball program. I keep hoping to see some statement from Alleva .....Baton Rouge has some weak arse sports reporters

I know you want Jones fired, but you're asking for something that is damaging to the program beyond a simple coaching change.

The only sports writer who calls out the coaches and Alleva around here is Glenn Guilbeau.

Local media is a joke. The sports guys are too busy chasing inconsequential stories nobody cares about or getting on local talk radio to act chummy with those guys and the hard news people are out chasing flood/fraud stories.

It's the only game in town and they don't want to be punished and lose access to a competitor.

Shite most LSU fans devote less than that to each game....unless we are winning.

If LSU wins the coverage will come.

In a micro TV market like BR? It would be like committing career suicide. LSU holds all the cards in how well these people do their jobs.

I'm surprised that Ron Higgins at the TP in NOLA has not been more vocal about this. He KNOWS basketball after several years covering Memphis and Ole Miss and Arky for the Commercial Appeal(and he is an LSU alum).

This is the truth. Local media always has to be careful how much they criticize. Otherwise their jobs become very difficult.

It's easier to be critical when you are in a big city with multiple colleges and/or pro teams, and there are many media outlets as well.

I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying that's what it is.

lose access

This guy gets it. Alleva controls who does and does not have access to LSU Sports.

Ever wonder why Moscona always goes out of his way to fellate Alleva every time his name comes up?

Well, that's why. That's why nobody from the Advocate, the TP, 247 or any other sports outlet will engage him with hostile questions about MBB or anything else.

Not only that, but wtf do you expect Alleva to say??

He would give some cliche, dance around the question type answer, and then limit your access to the team. It's literally a lose-lose-lose situation for the reporter.

He's most recluse AD I've ever seen in my life. I mean, I know why. Anytime he's in front of a camera it's embarrassing to look at. He's just not cut out to be the face of a major program like LSU. Duke was more his style but he even fricked that up.
