Anything (Kansas, Arizona, etc) Jordy and T-Bob threw at him he just blew it off and called it rumors. I guess they suspend coaches now for rumors?
The sidestepping he did regarding Bill Self’s texts is crazy.I listened to the whole interview. It became very obvious that he was going with the deflect and talk over strategy to avoid talking about those situations. He puts Wade in a different category because "he was caught on a wiretap." Never gave good answers regarding why he isn't coming down as hard on the other schools implicated, other than leaning on plausible deniability/willful ignorance.
Turgeon is indeed a great recruiter but has had the unenviable task of filling HOF coach Gary Williams' shoes. Williams was not a great recruiter, and retired rather than play the AAU game. However, Williams was a great X's and O's coach who had the distinction of being the first coach to win a Div. I championship with a roster bereft of any all-Americans.
Cowan over-thinks and does not trust himself. If he misses a shot he ruminates instead of moving on. He and Smith will be the cornerstones of a good team.
I do look forward to next year
At the very least, Izzo is going to find out early if LSU has figured out how to score against a zone defense.
I like LSUs chances. MSU has depth issues in the front court right now because of ankle injuries. Tre hasn't really had issues with long players this year because he's not LSUs only scoring option now. Long guys typically can't keep up with him, anyway. They can try to take away his scoring, but as long as he has the ball in his hands, he will find someone to score if he can't. MSU should be favored, but this game is very winnable for LSU.
He never addresses Sean Miller who was also caught on a wiretap.I listened to the whole interview. It became very obvious that he was going with the deflect and talk over strategy to avoid talking about those situations. He puts Wade in a different category because "he was caught on a wiretap." Never gave good answers regarding why he isn't coming down as hard on the other schools implicated, other than leaning on plausible deniability/willful ignorance.
Welp. Looks like more scandal is coming...
I hope not.Michael Avenatti charged with trying to extort more than $20 million from Nike
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan and Los Angeles charged attorney Michael Avenatti nearly simultaneously in two criminal cases Monday, unsealing complaints that alleged he attempted to extort more than $20 million from Nike and that he committed wire and bank fraud.www.cnn.comStormy Daniels' ex-lawyer Michael Avenatti arrested for alleged $20 million extortion scheme against Nike, embezzling client's money, defrauding bank
Federal investigators say Avenatti tried to extort up to $25 million from Nike by threatening to reveal negative publicity.www.cnbc.com
After reading these articles, I'm expecting a big nothing to come his press conference.
It was said for years that when you played Duke, you played the refs as well. This applied to every other team in the ACC not from Chapel Hill.Yeah, I know all about GW, he is actually a friend of a friend, he is a good guy has a lot more scruples and better values than most college coaches for sure. And he could flat out coach, his NC team with Juan Dixon was one of my favorite college teams of all time. They really should have won 2, that loss to Duke in the final 4 the year before was the most blatant example of referee bias I've ever seen. Do you remember the 5th foul on Baxter? Apparently if a Duke player climbs your back for a rebound the foul is on you!!!!!
Agree, Cowen is battling a serious confidence issue right now, I hope he gets i back they need him, I like him, he is a tough player and goes all out....
Agree on the zone defense, disagree on Waters, I saw teams with longer guards shut him down and force him to commit multiple turnovers this year. I'm not saying that it will definately happen here but something I am wary about. There are times he plays at a level where that reminds me of Chris Jackson, I hope he finds that level against Mich state....I think though that for LSU to have a chance they will have to be able to hit the 3 better....
Well, that took a different turn. Regardless, he's airing dirty laundry on Twitter now.Michael Avenatti charged with trying to extort more than $20 million from Nike

I don't recall reading about any romance?The exchange lays out what Avenatti alleged in his first tweet that riveted the college basketball world on Monday. (Avenatti is a familiar presence on cable television after representing Stormy Daniels, the adult actress who claimed to be romantically linked to Donald Trump.)
