This guy is an insufferable douche and I hope he spends most of his days with a mouth full of ulcers and explosive diarrhea.
To save the click, anonymous sources in the SEC says AU was watching opponents' practices with cameras, but no one would ever say it in the light of day.

Does that even help that much with basketball? I can see where film helps with tendencies. But basketball is so fast paced. A little different than knowing the play in football.

Can we not sue these people? You know they are probably on bama s payroll.

We have achieved too high of a KenPom ranking. Dan Wolken could not sit idly by and watch that happen.

Like they say, it's an ongoing investigation.

Guy sucks. Ironically enough, this board is the only one posting this article. Not on more sports board or rant that I saw.

Don't click on the clickbait article. frick that guy. There was a time when journalists had a shred of integrity. Might as well call him a National Enquirer writer.

It will be nationally picked up soon enough to smear BP and AU basketball. Before you know it Stephen A. Smith will be giving his steaming hot takes on it… the last section where it’s outlined how someone practiced a secret play and our bench players could recognize and call it out is what’s going to get the most traction. BP will be forced to address it after being prodded by local press.

If I were Bruce and AU I wouldn’t even comment on it. Just say we’ve heard rumors but no one or no teams have put their names behind it.

He hates Bruce.. This is part of a 10 part series, but says absolutely nothing.
An SEC spokesperson confirmed to USA TODAY Sports that the conversation took place in 2018 after the SEC office was "made aware of general concerns about video cameras in basketball arenas related to visiting team practices and informally received information involving an individual institution. Uncorroborated information is typically shared with an involved institution, which occurred during the off-season period."
The SEC did not name the institution, but according to six people affiliated with different SEC programs, Auburn was the team at the center of the spying allegations. With head coach Bruce Pearl in the room, however, nobody wanted to stand up and point the finger directly. During a tense moment, according to those people with knowledge of the meeting, then-South Carolina coach Frank Martin implored his colleagues to stop with anonymous sniping and say what they wanted to say.......
Plus, proof was scant. There was no Connor Stalions-type smoking gun of wrongdoing, and the SEC typically prefers to keep such family squabbles in-house. After three seasons at the bottom of the SEC standings, Auburn had just tied for the league title and reached the NCAA tournament's round of 32. The Tigers' success only heightened the sense of suspicion.
But now, digital eyes are everywhere. From security cameras to permanent TV cameras to cameras used for tracking technology, a coach can easily access a stream or video of whatever is happening in his arena, with one or two clicks on his laptop. That makes for rampant opportunity to cheat. One current Division I men's coach told USA TODAY Sports he doesn't even worry about it anymore because he assumes his team is being watched every moment of a walkthrough on the road.
As for the Auburn situation, the SEC never had any basis to sanction the school or even launch a formal investigation. Nothing was proven.

Oh. So this is not even a story.

I have 6 anonymous sources that say Dan Wolken is a peder-arse.

Bammerham news picked it up. (Al.com)
An Auburn spokesperson told AL.com the program does not have a statement in response to the story. The article states Auburn did not respond to USA Today’s request for comment.
The article cites several anonymous sources who claim the topic was brought up during an SEC coaches meeting following the 2017-18 season. Neither the article nor the accusations offer any concrete proof that Auburn cheated.

That gif is fricking hilarious. Is there video of it anywhere? Did AU ever address what happened?
