NO COACH IN COLLEGE BASKETBALL IN THE LAST 50 years didn’t cheat especially Daddy Dale. I know this first hand.
Dukie V - MASSIVE CHEATER
PETINO - Massive Cheater
JIM VALVANO - MASSIVE CHEATER AND WAS ON PROBATION
CAL - shite he damn near had 2 programs get the death penalty
ROY WILLIAMS - MASSIVE CHEATER
SELF - MASSIVE CHEATER
IZZO-
I can keep going and going
The hypocrisy of the self-righteous "he cheated" is mind-numbing. Basketball players have been paid since 1892, the year after James Naismith invented it.

Wooden. Asterisk?
Tell me what the Wooden scandals were. I don't recall those.
Also, those other coaches, were they on a wiretap discussing a strong arse offer, and did they pay a baby momma from their personal account and have a string of text messages to them? So maybe it's that he cheated clumsily.
A winning college basketball is like sausage, most people who love it, really don't want to see how it's made. Wade showed us and it cost him his job. And that's on Wade.

Wooden didn't get caught of course. He may not have even known about players being compensated. But, there are published believable stories about the people and methods in which players were "paid."
Will Wade lovers just want to win and be competitive. What we have turned into in the McMahon era is looking more like the Johnny Jones and Trent Johnson era.

How many blue blood coaches get caught on a wire tap talking about “strong arse offers”.
Will Wade thought he was playing the same game. Turns out the blue blood coaches know how to play chess while Wade is playing checkers.

quote:Scandals =/= not cheating and paying players when it was illegal. You can easily google John Wooden paying players. Turning a blind eye also makes it not scandalous at the time, only until it all comes out.
Wooden scandals

If that's what people think... "You didn't cheat the right way" then I'll just laugh it off.

Not a troll. Will Wade was a cheater!!! Put your head in the sand if you want but I won’t.
Nobody is denying that. What we’re saying is, nobody gaf. If you want to be competitive, you’ve got to cheat. There is more cheating done in college basketball than football, guarantee it.

It’s like the police ticketing a guy driving 80 mph as other drivers pass by going 90. It’s selective enforcement and it’s BS, but it’s also the NCAA’s MO. All I wanted was for Woodward and Tate to let the case play out and make the NCAA prove its case to the infractions committee, but they didn’t do that.

Rant fans never get tired talking about ex-coaches. Surprise they don't talk about Charley Mcclendon and the bad things on him. Surely he was no good!

I’m not mad he cheated. He was a complete moron in the way he cheated and then only made one sweet sixteen and couldn’t get past that. He really wasn’t a good game coach either.

Wooden started his career during segregation, I'm sorry to say. California was probably the most integrated state in the Union. He could go to almost any state and use that as a recruiting tool to recruit the best black athletes.
Once UCLA became a power, there was a Dr. Gilbert that was the "Money Man" agent who protected the image of the Great Coach. I'm sure, once the reputation of Wooden/UCLA began to fill the coffers of the sports media, they looked the other way. Wooden was a mild mannered gentleman so he filled the image necessary to build the sport.
The Blue bloods coaching salaries increased as the sport became more popular so the were MUM.

Are you new to the Sport?
Google Ky Basketball recruiting violations.
Getting caught cheating has never stopped the Big Blue.

You’re definitely a troll by definition!

That is a political question.
We will never know. You don't know the number of other Head Coaches that are in the FBI files. Forde and partners in the coup, were only interested in Wade.

They all cheat - WW was a terrible cheater. You can’t be a terrible cheater and survive if you are not a Blue Blood program.

True, but the bigger point is that you have to do it a lot better than it looks like Wade did. You can’t be sloppy and get caught talking on the phone about offers and you can’t let yourself be tied directly to anything, ever.
It’s all changing now due to NIL, but head coaches still have to maintain some distance from offers that are made.

Maybe if WW wasn’t such a dumbass that he paid out of his own bank account and left a paper trail he would still be the coach
