You probably didn’t watch the team under Wade and probably still don’t.



So how does this alter the fact that Wade got caught cheating?

Will Wade was a cheater!


Have you ever followed college basketball? In order to be a program that wins year end and year out you have to at least play in the gray area. You think Duke, under Coach K never did anything shady? There was a situation with Zion Williamson that pretty much got swept under the rug.

Why does Bill Self still have a job? The fact that Rick Pitino is allowed to be a college basketball coach again is a joke. The NCAA is a joke. The only reason it ever became against the rules to pay players was because universities lobbied to get athletes the official status of "student athlete" so that they didn't have to be responsible for insuring them. Before NIL, if someone wanted to throw a bbq for the basketball team, if it was reported and IF the NCAA wanted to investigate, depending on what they found they could punish the program/school..

Think about that. If a "student-athlete" went somewhere and was given a free plate of food, technically the NCAA could investigate and if they really wanted to, could issue some type of penalty and the only reason they had this control was because the universities didn't want to have to pay to insure the athletes who brought in a lot of money for the university.

Then don't get me started with all of the shoe companies scouting AAU ball to find players to be their next big investment, build relationships with the players and their family so they can persuade them to go to schools that are sponsored by their brand so that if they happen to become a big time player to go pro, they have the upper hand in signing them to a contract.

There is so much bullshite that goes on behind the scenes of CBB that you have to "cheat". And its only cheating because the NCAA is able to enforce it. The NCAA is a joke. Their biggest payday is from the NCAA tournament. In football, TV deals are done by conference, same as regular season basketball, but they put together the tournament and have the TV rights.

They would never go after the blue blood programs whose games gets the highest ratings. LSU basketball isn't a national brand like Duke, Kentucky, Kansas, etc. Those schools are untouchable. So how can someone say "Will Wade is a cheater" without discussing the inner workings of CBB?

Will Wade was going to have a good team this year. Julian Philips would be here instead of Tennessee. He had 1 or 2 freshman that would have been able to contribute along with experience coming back.

This year's team is pathetic to watch. They can't shoot, they can't guard the 3 for shite. They shouldn't be as bad as they are. Under Wade, if there was an area the team struggled in you would eventually see some improvement.

Yes, the schedule hasn't been easy, but we are not just losing we are getting pounded. As if the problems are not even being addressed. I just think its a shame Will Wade is still not the HC at LSU and until McMahon proves himself you can't defend him by saying "don't worry, he will get it together".

So you would rather lose by 30 every night? Are you related to Woodward?

Everyone else cheats so it’s ok for Wade to cheat. That seems to be the narrative from some of y’all. Don’t want any part of that. I know that the blue bloods get away with that but don’t make it right. It’s no different than Joe dumbass Biden getting away with ruining the country but the media not covering it but when a Republican farts it’s a crime that should get the death penalty.
LSU is the Republican and Duke, Kentucky and North Carolina are Joe Biden


For someone who seems to claim to be a Republican, you appear to be very offended by players getting paid what they are worth on the market.

Grow up. If you are winning in the P5, you are doing some shady shite. Less so now with NIL, but that still comes with it’s own shady areas. Wade just didn’t handle his business carefully.

I wonder what OP thinks of Dale. He also had his own run-ins with the NCAA and all but caused Arnsparger to leave to be the AD at Florida and subsequently hire Spurrier which led to the worst decade in LSU football history. But we name our court after him.

I mean if we're airing out everything in the closet then let's do it. Dale is the best coach we have ever had and deserves the honor, but he was by no means clean whatsoever because you can't be successful in NCAA hoops by doing so.

Dale absolutely was abysmal until he went to Louisville and brought a high school coach and 2 players with him.

All of a sudden LSU starts winning. Bam! Shazam!

John Williams got about 150

Calm down and do some research. UMass got slapped a little bit, but nowhere near the death penalty.

Memphis didn’t even have an L1 allegation. The only thing substantial they were able to do was retroactively rule Rose ineligible and take away that season and tourney run with Championship Game appearance. That was purely out of spite.

UK hasn’t gotten anything under Cal.

We all know the man cheats, but he’s one of the smartest when it comes to keeping it all hidden and multiple steps removed from him. They dug for a solid year on Memphis right before he left for UK and the worst they could make stick was an L2 for Rose’s brother not reimbursing the school for travel expenses. That’s 1,000,000 miles from the fricking death penalty.

You don't know much about college basketball or how recruiting works. You must also hate the Dale Brown Era, too. Ever heard of the bag men during that period?

Most LSU fans want to see a good, competitive team. That means competing on and off the court. That's what Wade did. In fact, paying players is now legal per NCAA rules. Wade will flourish in his next head coaching job. It will sicken me if we are left behind in poor to mediocre results.

So far, McMahon looks like the next up and comer mid major star who has yet to accomplish anything in his major conference stint. I hope he does well because that means LSU does well.

I hope the Woodward and football boosters are happy.
