Soooooo defending a dude who banged a chick and forced an abortion deserves a pass as coach, until all the evidence is in, but WW doesn’t. OOOOK.

I guess the Zion texts aren’t allowed in your court. LOL. Like I asked, did he sit out and interviewed by the NCAA?

I really, really hope that you're just trolling or purposely trying to be a contrarion because I honestly don't think you are a stupid person. But, this is about as dumb of a statement that you could have made.

Dead serious. Nothing that any other program has ever done changes the fact that Wade is caught and dirty and that it casts a pall over this season. This is probably the most “obvious” instance of violations having been committed since Laremy Tunsil accidentally threw Ole Miss under the bus at the NFL draft.


Everybody on earth knows that LSU has done something against the rules, and that won’t change, and the fact that we “know” that “all” other programs do it won’t change it either. It’s just the truth. Don’t be so scared of it.

That’s not what we’re saying. Sheesh. I’m not saying punish anyone. I’m saying call one out call all out. I’m not defending what WW did. I’m just saying Dick V is taking every opportunity to smash one and help the other. Hypocrisy pal.

Once again, that's not the point. I am not defending Will Wade in this conversation. Jordy and T-Bob are not defending Will Wade in this conversation. This is about Dick Vitale crushing Will Wade and LSU while he is going out of his way to preach patience and due process to every other school involved here as he has done in EVERY OTHER INSTANCE throughout his career, especially with his buddies. But, you are saying he's not being a hypocrite. It's dumb and when you get called out on it, you continue to try to bring the conversation back to Wade. You're doing the same thing that Dick is doing.

LSU is unique among them. So LSU gets a unique kind of attention.

Nah, there’s no evidence that he wouldn’t treat another coach the same if he were caught so obviously on tape.

For perspective, he supported Knight (a friend) after Neil Reid but supported Myles Brand’s decision to fire him after Kent Harvey.

“Call everyone else out” doesn’t work when it’s just Wade who is this uniquely red-handed—and suspended by his own boss, further damaging his career.

His accolades and accomplishments have absolutely nothing to do with the fact of him being a hypocrite. He’s acting as if Wade and LSU are the only ones implemented in this and are the only ones that have ever done something like this. Everyone including him knows major college basketball is as dirty as it gets when it come to recruiting.

There are actual dollar amounts and specific housing involved in with other schools like Kansas and players like Zion Williamson.

The medium in which the evidence is presented doesn't make it anymore damning that another. The information provided is what's important.

No he isn’t. He’s acting as if Wade and LSU are the most obviously red-handed ones presently, which they are.

Doesn’t matter.

And there’s something different about those situations that is very important, and that’s precksely why Vitale and the rest of the sports world are giving LSU more attention than they are giving the others.

Absolutely. This guy is a deflector. He was doing the same thing in a thread yesterday. Not an unintelligent person, but will not admit being wrong. It's just not going to happen no matter how much proof is provided. It's going to be a tap dance around the issue.

I wonder what would happen if Coach K were on tape talking about this kind of stuff.

If you think it wouldn’t be 10x the Wade firestorm, you’re insane.

There definitely is. Will Wade was being much more vague. Dr Souza was suspended because a person testified to paying $2500 to his family. Zion's detailed shopping list was being talked about directly in text messages. Again, the medium isn't important. Evidence is evidence whether it's audio, video or electronically or manually written.

Looks that way. You nailed him regarding the fact that the medium doesn’t make it better evidence. it took a big blinder to duck that nugget. Since we’re using all this circumstantial evidence I’d say Dick V was guilty AF for doing what we are accusing him of based on how he handled himself on the radio this morning.

Souza and Zion aren’t coaches.

And sorry, but y’all are the ones with the blinders on. If this exact same situation happened at any other program, it’d be the same story. You have to seriously believe that the world is out to get specifically LSU to disagree.

Dickie V is that you? LOL you ignore or downplay anything that doesn’t work for you. You repeating that none of the other evidence matters doesn’t make it so. It’s ok to admit Dickie V is off the rails on this one.

No shite. The coaches were the ones discussing the payments and Dick doesn't want to talk about those coaches. Again, hypocrite.

No one is talking about "the world." This is a conversation about Dick Vitale. You said he's not a hypocrite, but keep bringing it back to people saying Wade is innocent or people being out to get LSU.

Have you heard the tape? Are you really sure that the defense team didn't leak something to Yahoo that wasn't 100% accurate? Are you 100% positive that Yahoo wouldn't twist the story a little to get more clicks?

Do you think it's hypocritical of Vitale to say be patient in the FBI investigation into Pitino, but not waiting for all of the facts to come out about Wade?
