This has got to be because of the NOA. No reason to fire him before tournament.

Given the nature of the violations, this move was likely about trying to minimize sanctions on both the football and basketball programs.

Scott Woodward did the right thing. Kudos to him.

Agreed. Keep draining the swamp. He'll hire a winner.

You know Scott will be going big game hunting for the new coach as he did with FB and WBB so not worried at all. Will be a great hire and since they don’t owe WW a buyout they can afford anyone they want.

Yeah, Scott always does the right thing, Verge Ausberry says hello.

The guy simply isn't a great coach. He's a great recruiter, but he does little with the talent he gets. They don't develop and he doesn't put them in a position to win. Nor does he motivate them to be better. But he can recruit. That's where I hope this doesn't hurt. Will Yohan Traore go elsewhere? Does Philips want out of his LOI? Ree? Marvel Allen? These 3 or 4 guys are my concerns. NOT Wade!
