Why should Wade have anticipated his conversation would be recorded

He obviously thought it was a possibility based on the wording the cryptic wording he used

The "people" saying that are paid trolls hired by Alleva to promote a false narrative to try to convince the fanbase that we should be okay with Joe firing Wade.

They are intellectually dishonest and lack sufficient intelligence quota to have a normal discussion with.

There is no point in arguing with them. Just RA everything they post as "possible alter."

I know what you are saying in general, but most of us have personal and business conversations without such concerns.

Has this tyoe of recording ever surfaced in an NCAA investigation?

Was there reason for Wade to believe Dawkins was under federal investigation/

Yes, anything is possible and apparently occurred in this instance but federal wiretappinf would seem to be a stretch to anticipate.

Dawkins was arrested and has been under FBI investigation a long time for basketball corruption....everyone in the basketball world knew it. Wade should have known better than to even receive a call from this guy.

Lol wtf

Nice made up conspiracy.

I don’t know that should have anticipated it being recorded but he just never should have been on the phone with the damn bag man in the first place

His terminology, which may ultimately spare him, if he is talking about what everyone thinks he is, seems to indicate that he is anticipating the possibility.

People, in their haste to throw gas on Wade and light the match, are pretending that he is the only one who was talking to a handler, instead of letting someone else do it. We already have Sean Miller's voice, and Bill Self's texts caught up in this, and we have been told that there are a lot of names that will come out. We only have leaked "information", thus far.

I'd imagine there comes a time in the recruitment of a lot of the top players, where the coach, not the intermediary, has to do the talking to try to close the deal. Whatever deal that might be.

Like the OP said, it was just bad timing for Wade, and people are acting like he did something unusual. What do they know? What are they going to say if all kinds of big names end up being on recordings, when the rest of this information is released?

Probably not, but moving forward, I'd be willing to bet these convos go on in person only - cosa nostra style

I knew a guy a long time ago who sold weed in a small town. He would not discuss it on his home phone - this was before cell phones. You had to go by his house and catch him there or page him to call you back.

If someone showed up and seemed nervous he would not do business with them. He thought they may have been caught and were going to buy from him to set him up. He turned quite a few people away - even if they came over and were already messed up and he thought they may get pulled over it was no deal.

AND this guy was not the sharpest person I ever met. Quite the opposite actually. But he had a serious aversion to going to jail and it served him well.

There’s actual idiots on this board that keep saying “at least use a burner phone” Like the FBI can’t record conversations over a burner phone

Yeah, the burner phone only would have worked if he were texting like Bill Self did. In which case, without names being mentioned in the texts, the FBI couldn't prove who was talking. Bill Self DID text, but didn't use a burner phone. That's particularly dumb, because when you text, even if you delete it, the FBI probably has a way to dig it back up. So by using his regular phone to do that, he really showed no discretion.
