re: For everyone blaming Alleva

You already discussed this with him months ago, no reason to rehash this now

Unless, of course, Wade told Alleva nothing new would come out. And then something did.

Then Alleva needed to meet with Wade to allow him to explain WTF man, you said there was nothing else.

If Wade refused to meet, what choice did Alleva have that wouldn't have been viewed by the NCAA as lack of institutional control, the hammer they have used several times recently.

And I would like Alleva fired today but this is on Wade more than anyone else.

I think maybe the power brokers that want Aleva gone can parlay this into his walking papers regardless of what goes down. There is no scenario here that makes Alleva looks competent. Either he hired a guy who was skirting the rules (at best) directly without using a middleman for plausible deniability (then believed the guy when he said that was all of it), or you suspended a coach in crunchtime of, potentially, the best run in your schools basketball history.

Frick Alleva, but this incident wasn't on him IMO.
