For four years Pat Forde targeted WW for offering Smart's high school coach.

But but but they have PROOF.

It's the natural law of investigations, and why investigations should always be resisted. It turns into a self fulfilling prophecy that, even though the initial pretext to an investigation proves false, the investigation will always be carried through to the investigators satisfaction which is the moment he is able to uncover wrong doing or rule breaking by the subject.

The part that is most trouble for Wade is in the next paragraph of the NOA citing his conversation with Dawkins.

He’s basically pissed because he made the infamous “damn strong” offer that tilts to the family, “taking care of the mom, taking care of the kid” which Foreman didn’t think rewarded himself enough. The offer included something ($?) for the player and his family.

Yeah, but Will Wade did that stuff at LSU. We are lumped in with the Coppin States of the world with the basketball establishment for some reason. You can do the stuff Wade is alleged to have done at UNC or Duke or KU.

Shannon Forman was probably the biggest influence and teacher in Smart”s life. He was not only Javonte’s longtime basketball coach but he was a close friend of his whole family. Wade came in and quickly knew the importance that Forman played in Smart’s recruitment decision and his development as a player.

Wade did what he thought was necessary to keep Javonte out of Kentucky and stay home to play basketball 5 minutes from his childhood home. He looked at Smart as a “must have” as the new head coach at LSU. Not bc of his impact on the court necessarily but Smart was exactly the type of player that he must convince to stay home and play for LSU if he was to be a successful head coach at LSU.

Now that makes more sense. And I guess it is a violation. Certainly not a death penalty violation.

No idea who the $300,000 was for… assume Naz. He denied it .

Is any of this stuff provable
