Message: [QUOTE="Jax Husky, post: 3073936, member: 828"] One of the writers bashing Wade (Dan Wolken), also wrote this in an article from last October: [INDENT]Sorry, but the head-in-the-sand routine being performed by Krzyzewski and North Carolina’s Roy Williams isn’t going to work anymore. The credibility of the sport is under withering assault in that courtroom, and there are still two more trials. What’s being revealed isn’t some anomaly; in fact, everything about the evidence suggests it was altogether normal. Just consider the text exchange between Gassnola and Self on Sept. 19, 2017, shortly after Kansas and Adidas had agreed to a new $191 million apparel deal. [B]After Gassnola thanked Self for helping complete the deal, Self responded “Just got to get a couple real guys,” seemingly referring to recruits. Gassnola texted back: “In my mind, it’s KU, Bill Self. Everyone else fall into line. Too (expletive) bad That’s what’s right for Adidas basketball. And I know I’m right. The more you have lottery picks and you happy. That’s how it should work in my mind.” Self responded: “That’s how (it) works. At UNC and Duke.” Gassnola answered that it works that way at Kentucky, too.[/B] “I promise you I got this,” he texted Self. “I have never let you down. Except ([URL='https://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/players/292848/deandre-ayton']Deandre Ayton[/URL]). Lol. We will get it right.”[/INDENT] It's the way the sport is run. Has been for a while.
