Nope. These particular phrases stand out to me -

We already knew he isn't innocent. However, stupid does come to mind. How do you speak about this crap on the phone? Did they learn nothing from the Freeze situation?

When is the basketball fan draft? Or will we be undrafted free agents?

I'm sure there will be individual exceptions (possibly you!), but nobody wants to be on the same side as the usual mouth-breathers from the Rant.

How I think everything plays out..

Wade doesn't coach another game this season. Our inspired bunch beats a terrible Vandy team tomorrow night, and we share a championship (for now) with Tennessee. We head into the tourney with the interim head coach, we out-talent at least the first two rounds, and by the Sweet 16, we get bounced because at this point, we're playing damn good teams and head coaches are head coaches for a reason.

Wade gets canned in April arouud trial time and shite really starts hitting the fan, and it's a very painful summer for LSU hoops fans. We get throttled by the NCAA, and a limping basketball program heads into the next season with the interim (who our AD will remind us led LSU to a couple tourney wins and is the perf man for the job) leading the charge. Our SEC co-championship and sweet 16 is laughed at for years to come.

Surely you guys have a paid assistant that will take the job. I doubt you have to resort to using interns to coach your team.

Young coach too stupid to not talk on the phone may have ruined potentially LSU's best season ever and his coaching career. Got to keep that stuff on the down low like veterans do at KY, UNC, Duke, etc.

Lurked a bit on LSU’s page and clicked on this topic...holy shite what a pathetic bunch. It’s like a Will Wade cult over there.

So Wade sent his statement via text to a newspaper. That joker isn't even bothering to act outraged in the beginning like most guilty people do. He has skipped forward to circling the wagons.

That scenario seems likely.

Only part you left out was the mass exodus of players over the summer.

He played dirty and got caught. The right move is to fire him and get ahead of it. Vacate tourney and Alleva should resign.

The good news for LSU is that is BB and it isn't important.

Exactly. I think the lesson here is to hire smarter cheaters.

Also, mbogo hit the nail on the head.

If I were AD of any top twenty budget school, I would lean towards hiring experienced coaches because of stuff like this experience. Pearl was risky hire, and had a snitch jacket and liar label on his collar. For AU and our shitty basketball history and culture, I has worked out well.

LSU has a better basketball history than AU, so its embarassing. He's cheating on a plane that embarasses the whole conference. And his players don't like him. Have another donut Will Wade, and run that five files per day as you claim.

I’m serious when I say this and first EVERY football program bends rules or out and out breaks some let’s get that out of the way but if I’m LSU I’m glad they can use FBI info and not come snooping and bumble in to something regarding the football program. If basketball gets hammered oh well. Let’s be honest most schools outside of Kentucky and a couple of others a season like this for any school is fools gold. You don’t expect it and it’s fun while it last so in the end I don’t see any huge melts regardless of outcome.

I agree. The dude cheated and hope he gets banned from coaching for a few years. Love what it....

HE WILL NOT COACH AGAIN AT LSU!! BOOK IT and LSU fans will melt. He cheated and paid to get most of the guys he has on the team.

BURN LITTLE WILLIE BURN!!

Not reading all this, but it actually looks like Tuscaloosa made a pretty good thread and put in some serious work into it.
