JA knew that Wade wasn’t in a position (on advice of his attorney) to tell him anything.


I don't believe that is in any way accurate.

And if it is, then WW needs to take some time away from the program.

Holy moly.


You don't think the situation has gotten worse from the initial subpoena to the wiretap info?

How do you know this?
Aleva could have done three things. 1. Ignore everything and do nothing. 2. Put out a statement saying they would make no decisions until things played out in the court system. 3. Look like he was clueless of any wrong doing by calling in Wade to "explain" things.

He chose no. 3 because I am sure he thought that was best for Joe Aleva and his reputation. Then when Wade refused to come he was within his rights to suspend a disobedient employee. So again this makes the sterling clean, clueless of any wrong doing Aleva, look good because he took immediate action once the charges were levied.

If Smart is suspended for the rest of the season, that is just more of the same making Joe look good. None of it will lessen any penalty the NCAA eventually levies against us.

No, I don’t think you have a clue about management.

what has Kansas done to Bill Self?


Why does this matter.

Kansas also signed Les Miles to be their coach. Should LSU get him back now, because, kansas did that?

I know if I ask an employee to come talk to me about something related to their job, and they do not, it's pretty much an immediate firing. No manager worth anything would support that level of insubordination.

But that is not it all what I called you out for. Don’t change the subject.

This is only happening because LSU basketball is winning. I noticed alot of talk about Will Wade's recruiting tactics, exactly what is he doing that is illegal? Did he actually pay Smart or was he just talking about paying him?

Will Wade lied and then refused to meet with LSU admins to talk about it.


You've obviously never been in a position to make important decisions.


The fact that the LEs, The Pirate Kings, and The First Cuts of the world support this action should be proof enough it is imbecilic.

You said I didn't have a clue about management. What I posted and responded was exactly about management. So, no, I'm not changing the subject, but I'm not sure the point you are trying to make.

Personally, I think the legal excuse is BS. But if that's the card WW is going to play (or has to play) then that by itself is enough of a reason for a suspension / leave of absence.


No, that is the hand Wade has been forced to play! As evidenced by the countless other atheltic departments that are faced every single season on how to navigate their basketball coaches getting caught up in scandals, this could have been handled in many ways. They CHOSE this path to clearly cover their own asses.

It's hard for me to get upset about doing what is "right". I don't care what other departments do.
