Or

once again

not overreact to a YAhoo! targeted attack with no actual evidence then publicly come out and say Wade wouldnt talk to them (pending subpoena from trial) so he's being suspended.


All could have ALL been avoided by simply coming out and saying "We will investigate this matter internally and gather all facts" - but nope, the admins went FULL retard and some will be losing their jobs now. Goes to show how incompetent they are. Alleva's already has done this rodeo once before at Duke.

Wade thought it was damning enough to where he wasn’t comfortable to talk to them, so much so he missed the NCAA tournament. To downplay it as some fabricated media story is fricking ignorant.

Wade’s reluctance to talk is all you need to justify the suspension. LSU played it right. Anyone that isn’t an emotional homer LSU fan has agreed.

Amen to that.

This is the crux of the matter and is the proximate cause of all that’s unfolded since.

1. Without the Yahoo article none of this would have happened- so why was it released when it was, and why didn’t Yahoo back up their story with the entire leaked transcript, not just an excerpt?
2. Why did Alleva/King have an incomprehensible knee jerk reaction the very next day? Did they confirm sources, and the veracity of the article?
They freaked out in fear of LOIC, CYA style. They didn’t think ahead. They didn’t attempt to mitigate the situation with careful consideration. Worst of all, they didn’t support our coach without the courtesy of looking into it first.

Because of 1. & 2. we are where we are now.
