Paying players goes back to John Wooden and even before.. Pat Forde and Jay Bilas can suck it and quit complaining about Wade for doing something as old as the sport itself.

No first ive heard of a coaching legend talk about another coaching legend cheating out in the open like that. Most people are scared to touch wooden

Supposedly paying players was why Bobby Knight didn’t respect John Wooden.

Knight was a prick and hated Wooden because the UCLA team absolutely destroyed Indiana on Knight's first trip to the Final 4.

That being said, college basketball has been a cesspool for a very long time. At every competitive university, including Knight's Indiana and Wooden's UCLA.

Where are Pat and Jay’s articles denouncing Texas (Sean Miller) and Kansas (Bill Self) as those coaches were implicated in the exact same sting as WW?

You think Lew Alcindor traveled across the country from NYC to Westwood because he liked the weather?

Cant imagine being a fan (let alone an alum) of Duke, UK, UNC etc and convincing myself my program is squeaky clean. Bilas is a hack. Forde is just a gaping clown car vagina.

The reason they went after WW,was because Calopari didn't get J Smart Calopari thought he had Smart locked up to Kentucky and When Wade came in and got Smart Calopari was passed! So he called on all the people that protected him and said get that little prick who does he think he is he's only been at LSU a couple years doesn't he know the pecking order,so all the dogs went after Wade and are still making a big deal about Wade!

If we don’t win then you’re going to hear a lot of negative words about WW. I wasn’t super impressed with him during his original time here and I’m skeptical going into this second round. But I’m going to root for him regardless because I obviously want him to do well.
