I’m glad the next time we make the tournament, our coach won’t be targeted by the big bad NCAA & ruin our season again.

Y'know, this really was weird. And it wasn't just the NCAA, it was Dick Vitale and half the ESPN commentators, and a fair number of other coaches too.
We all jumped to Wade's defense because he was our coach and we were winning, but I've never seen that happen before. And it wasn't because "LSU isn't allowed to be good", we have been good before. I know Brown fought the NCAA and got nailed, but he railed at them for years... you can't call them gestapo bastards and expect not to get hit when you get busted.

Nobody came after Brady, and he made a Final Four. Nobody came after Trent Johnson for going 26-7 and winning the SEC his first year here. Nobody came after Johnny Jones when he had Mickey and Martin.

Wade came, and shite started really early, and from damn near every direction. So whatever he was doing, it was pretty obvious to almost everyone in the business.
