He’s been in charge of athletic teenagers, extraordinarily talented ones but teenagers nonetheless. If those boys and their parents were looking for a father figure for the athletes, they got the wrong kind. Eight months shy of 40, Wade is now a millionaire in search of a job, if not a conscience, and we hope he lands honest work this time. But it won’t be in college basketball."
i read elsewhere that wade was termed by phone and wasn't allowed to address the team. not sure if accurate but would be the obvious reason....
wade is heartbroken and loves his players. if he didnt talk to them he has a reason, and its not he has abandoned them. he wants nothing more than to not abandon them. they love him as well, and are upset he is fired. the dumbshit advocate garbage article implied he failed them as a mentor, which is false. he makes players hardworking, committed and focused and sets them up for success. that we are pretendin to be naive and unaware that paying players is de regueur and has been forever is obscene.
You are a proud resident of the State of Denial. It doesn't matter whether it happens all the time or whether anyone here is denying that happens. What matters is that in 2022, it is against the rules, and all of your self-righteous justifications don't change that. He cheated, and it doesn't matter if everyone cheats. He's the one who got caught. The end.
what have i denied? my claim is that he shouldnt have had his phone tapped. he deserves privacy like all americans.
I won't disagree with that. But I think even if he could prove that in court, it wouldn't matter to the NCAA. They are their own legal system. But what you deny is that he did anything "wrong." You think what he did is "right", because "everyone does it." That may or may not be true, but its still against the rules. Breaking the rules is wrong.
which brings us back to rosa parks, and the fact that breaking rules is very much not wrong, it depends on the rules. its not, for example, wrong to smoke pot. its against the rules. those rules are bullshit. that the NCAA changed the rules to allow NIL is a tacit admission that paying players is fine. and also it is clearly fine anyways, as the broadcast rights for college hoops earn tens of billions. who earned that cash if not the players?
