re: Any chatter about how Woodward will handle the Wade issue?

quote:

---

Above all, he will do what is in the best interest of LSU. HIs loyalty is to LSU and not Will Wade. He won't be afraid to conduct a search if he determines Wade is a liability nor will he afraid to defend, support Wade if all is well. From everything that is said, he builds relationships and trust, then does everything he can to support his coaches, staff and students.

This sounds about right based on everything I've been able to find on his management style. But for him to let go of Wade, I'd imagine there would need to be some extremely damning and indefensible proof out there first. No way can Woodward be so naive as to think recruiting violations are not the norm. He's also not afraid to work with controversial people. Didn't he hire Sarkasian at Washington?
