LSU basketball is not a strong enough program to recover from this. I’ll take a decade to get past this.

Why would LSU want to open the door to anything by asking questions that you really dont want to know the answers to .
This is was a shoot yourself in the foot moment by LSU.
Option #1 We suspend Will Wade for not answering questions so we can protect ourselves from NCAA post season ban next season.
Option#2 there wont be a postseason ban if we dont make the postseason next year because we let the best young coach in America go...
Option#3 We throw Will Wade and Javonte Smart under the bus just like the DUKE lacrosse team. Joe knows!!!!
All LSU needed to do was shut up and sit still and instead they flinched.
If WillWade is let go F-king and Joe Alleva need to follow

it's not Allevas job to have Wades back.
Wade is self serving here, the administration did what they felt they had to do.
If you want to blame Alleva, you're way off here. Alleva should never have been hired at LSU because of the Duke scandal but this is in no way on him. This is primarily on Will Wade.

Let's just see how well Wade does with lesser talent. He's going to be under the highest scrutiny of anyone in the country.

I understand it. Wade and his lawyer are looking out for number one.
But don't blame LSU for doing the same.

You don’t believe they care about LSU?

Sorry, but it’s sad to see so many LSU fans side with Wade and not with LSU on this.
This is just the NEXT reason for LSU fans to be dismayed by the decisions of this administration. As a fan base overall, we are tired of watching the shite show that is the F King / Aleva debacle (Jindal's gift that just keeps on taking). When you combine their ineptitude with what Alabama has gotten away with in football, and what Kentucky has gotten away with in basketball, it is a toxic recipe. In short, both of these guys are hated by many (most) of our current students, alumni, and fan base. They are perceived as weak and parasitic. Nothing going forward will change those views. In short, they have to go.

Xiv and roger,
You two are busy arguing against the wrong stance. You are both saying that the Joe and F show is right in their actions. Instead of listening to some fringe people that believe that Wade is wearing white right now, why don’t you consider another option?
Maybe, just maybe, you should not suspend your coach and player because of a report + a NON ncaa investigation? Just maybe, you should defend your guy until proven guilty? NOT suspend them right now, and perform your own internal investigation?
And if he is guilty, fire him on the spot. If not, what you are guaranteeing is that your competition will plant “reports” about LSU in the future. Are you going to act like this every time a reporter writes something bad about LSU. Grow some balls, and fight while there is something to fight for.

The administration did nothing wrong.
I disagree, I find plenty wrong with how this entire situation was handled. IMO JA jumped the gun on the suspension and was reacting to the talking heads and social media. By doing so he painted LSU into a corner that will be hard to get out of if nothing is found on Will Wade. They have likely damaged any future working relationship with Will Wade. If LSU and Wade part ways you damage the potential pool of coaches that would consider taking this job. Who wants to work for a boss that doesn't have your back and will throw you under the bus at the first sign of trouble. All of that will hurt recruiting, what player will come here knowing the administration doesn't have their backs? Now maybe if LSU had waited you still get to this point of either suspending or firing Will Wade. But IMO they reacted too quickly without all of their ducks in a row and a plan going forward.

I'm absolutely positive Wade was put off the bench because he refused to report to his supervisors and they felt he had been dishonest with them.

He should be suspended right now whether or not he is guilty of ncaa violations. LSU may be in trouble, and the only way Wade should coach again is if he himself convinces LSU that this isn’t the case. So far he has refused to do so, so bye.

Sounds like Wade has a problem that keeps him from doing his job. That’s Wade’s problem, not LSU’s.
I don’t blame Wade for his choices this week, but if you can’t be loyal to LSU because of legal stuff, I wish you well in your future endeavors. Sorry but LSU comes first.
A competent administration (and I'd bet the vast majority of major college administrations) would have found a way to handle this situation much better. Alleva has never inspired confidence and this is just one more instance where he has stubbed his toe.
Nice call out to Jurassic Park though.

All Wade had to do was talk to Alleva if he had nothing to hide. If it was just an athletic scholarship he was offering and the “piece of pie” was within the rules it would be easy to explain.
