This is what they wanted to talk to him about. They weren't trying to absolve Wade.
Well, his friends arent personally on a recording talking about offers. Its one thing for Dukes name to be mentioned...its another thing if the head fricking coach is talking about offers and if enough was given to the handler.

What does any of this have to do with Jordy and T-Bob not refuting Dicks claims about Wade?

I have heard many of a media members refuse to answer and or stick to their story through the years. But I have never heard one double down and own their hypocrisy and then get so mad when they got called on it like Dick Vitale did today. I kind of feel sorry for him. He actually believes everything he is saying.

Cheating is cheating. If he's gonna say wait for all of the evidence to come out for all of his buddies, then he can't act like Wade assassinated the president off of a media report that was fed to the reporter with the sole purpose to make Wade look as bad as possible and not give him the same benefit of the doubt.
He said he took Pitino at his word that he didn't know. Why can't he take Wade at his word that the report doesn't begin to tell the whole story? No matter how anyone tries to spin what Vitale is doing, he's being a hypocrite and that's what they were trying to talk to Dick about. All he did was deflect from that at every turn.
However, he did tweet out a very classy tweet after the interview. Someone posted it in another thread.

and it was just confirmed today when Tbob and Jordy went silent
Did they have a choice with Dickie V - he wouldn't shut his loud mouth for a second. When he criticized the fans for chanting "Joe must go", I would have said Alleva has to go because back in October we all read the transcript of a leaked wiretap between Wade and Dawkins about a player that didn't end up here, but funding the player was discussed and it didn't sound good.
I've said it numerous times already, but Alleva and the rest failed to do their due diligence back then in regards to grilling Wade, chasing down all the sources of information related to the wiretap conversation and they obviously didn't interview all current players and parents back then out of an abundance of caution before the season started and waited until the last damn home game to do it . They were hoping it would blow over and probably didn't want to take a close look at everything.

I think any reasonable person can agree that a minute or so of leaked conversation doesn’t tell the whole story - no matter what or whom we are speaking about. But there’s much more of a smoking gun in Wade’s hand than in others.

Wade is on tape talking about it. The other coaches aren't, at least to our knowledge. That's why it's different/worse/etc. If this was Calipari or Krzyzewski, I'd be like a piranha on BBN or Gayville, and there's no evidence that Vitale wouldn't be, either.

Everyone’s ripping on them two right now, but it’s like y’all aren’t even trying to understand what they’re saying
I don’t agree with everything they say, but I at least respect them for looking at this from a different POV (everyone here is looking at this from an LSU fan’s perspective, but not them)

I don’t disagree with this. It’s a start.

It’s exactly what I’ve been saying all along. His attorneys have told him to forsake his LSU career, which would injure his entire career. There’s only one concern great enough to give him that advice - they are concerned about his criminal exposure. No one ever thought coaches and handlers would be prosecuted for this stuff, but that paradigm has clearly shifted.

Have you heard the tape? Has Dick heard the tape? Is it possible that there's a good reason why he's talking like that on the tape? We don't know. That's the whole point here. All of the facts haven't come out. In other cases when all of the facts were in, he was letting his buddies off the hook and that's why it's hypocritical.

Except we've already seen Vitale take it easy on his buddies when theure busted.

Not if he is working with the FBI. Personally I don't think that's the case, but still need to let the facts play out just like all of Dick' s buddies when they were in trouble.

LSU doesn't need this shite. LSU has proven that they don't need John Wooden on the bench to be successful. And there are other good coaches with peach fuzz out there.

Let's have a coach who doesn't have to skip out on the gig to work with the FBI in the middle of a Sweet 16 run.
