Will Wade Comments On His Indefinite Suspension

by Staff Reporter

March 8, 201946 Comments

Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports

LSU head coach Will Wade commented on his indefinite suspension through the following text message which was sent to NOLA.com:

quote:
"Serving as the Head Basketball Coach at LSU has been the honor of my life. I love this university and all it stands for. From day one, I’ve been focused on building a winning program made up of excellent coaches and staff and a team of first-rate student athletes.

"I cannot comment at this time on various media reports, except to say that they do not begin to tell the full story. I understand the University had to take action before all the facts are in, but I would ask everyone to withhold their judgment until the record is complete.

“To my players and coaches, I support you 100%, and I will be with you in spirit as the season progresses. Your best response to this is to narrow your focus and make sure the last part of the season is the strongest part!”

Innocent until proven guilty no longer exists in today’s world, social media and talking heads on tv is all that matters these days.

Cajunomics•65 months

This is so ridiculous they would suspend him on something so vague.

GeauxLSUBengalTigers•65 months

When he refused to give his side of the story how can you not?

cwill•65 months

He wasn't fired.

"Well I guess there's only one thing left to do.........win the whole frickin' thing."

Bottom9•65 months

What a beautiful fricking man that guy is. I love you Coach Wade.

If history reigns true, the last time this AD had allegations against a head coach he jumped to a few conclusions that didn't turn out to be true and it changed many lives. The feds better have more than the single transcript I have read or they have a big fat nothing burger.

JustinT37•65 months

@CDawson I hear you but the DA of that area was the one making that team be presumed guilty before evidence came out and even hid/altered evidence.

Play_Neck•65 months

Heck yea

MSTiger33•65 months

I hope this team goes scorched earth going forward

chicageaux_tiger•65 months

If it ends up that Will Wade did nothing, then Will Wade as Athletic Director and basketball coach for life. Anything else and he will never come back to work for Alleva.

But he did something. Don’t be stupid

Tigers eyes•65 months

LSUtwolves WHAT DID HE DO?!?!?! I keep asking this of you people who say he did something, and I've yet to get a fricking answer!!! WHAT THE FREAKING HELL DID HE DO?!?!?

themunch•65 months

I'm with Him. Do this Tigers.

and meanwhile alabama football players with no money are riding around in brand new chargers and challengers. NCAA says "move along, nothing to see here"

rbdallas•65 months

and complete families are relocated "to work for a church" ... sure right !

BTRDD•65 months

I hope when it all plays out, he is exonerated and Joe Alleva is fired.

rbdallas•65 months

Everyone has done what they needed to do FOR THIS POINT IN TIME. No blame on Alleva for this at this time....protecting LSU.

kemowasabi•65 months

I stand with Coach Wade!..Til the Truth be told! Geaux Tigers!..Team...we are now with you more than ever!

Pianoman•65 months

Well, we've seen how truthful and honest the FBI has been with all of the Trump administration investigations.....just don't trust those guys any more.

rbdallas•65 months

It is not their MONEY... Investigations create EMPLOYMENT for them.

LesnarF5•65 months

Why not just leave it play out, court is not scheduled until the end of April. Never liked Aleva as a man after how he handled the Lacross fiasco at Duke. Always thought he was a throw you under the bus kinda guy, not anyone that had your back.

beantown•65 months

Well history repeats itself....honestly disappointed with Joe

fisheggs mcgee•65 months

Does the FBI have nothing better to do than use manpower to try and sniff out the goings ons of a college basketball squad? I mean, this country has a lot of really disturbing problems and mysteries...child trafficking..drug trafficking..murders..Momo scaring the daylights of kids trying to watch Peppa Pig.. Why the heck are they wasting precious time on the clock trying to bust poor will wade making a phone call? I get a lot of taxes taken out of my hard earned paycheck every two weeks and I don’t appreciate the wackadoodle crap it helps fund sometimes!

CanebreakCajun•65 months

Terrorism, drug trafficking, human trafficking, serial killers, nope this is a far, far greater threat to the fabric of America. Screw them

Tiger4life5803•65 months

Online poker, steroids in baseball and coaches trying to giving recruits’ families money. Thanks for protecting and serving me FBI.

jpainter6174•65 months

Will wade till I die!

KCT•65 months

I'm 100% with Coach Wade! Alleva & F. King can go to hell!

rbdallas•65 months

Everyone has done what they needed to do FOR THIS POINT IN TIME. No blame on Alleva for this at this time....protecting LSU.

idlewatcher•65 months

I agree RB. Alleva didn’t have much of a choice considering Wade said GFY when asked to come in. It was the right decision IMO

tigerMike•65 months

They're asking him to testify. You don't ask someone to testify because you are trying to decide whether or not to charge them, that's not how this works. He's not in trouble with the FBI. This tape sounds bad but it's literally nothing in terms of rules violations. He doesn't break any NCAA rules either. We all know how this really works at EVERY power 5 school in football and/or basketball. It's our turn in the limelight because of a broken system managed by a broken organization.
