LSU Basketball Coach Will Wade Speaks To Media For First Time Since Suspension [Video]
Will Wade spoke today for the first time since his suspension on March 7th.
The reinstated LSU basketball coach says he hopes to earn back trust, but did not get into details about what he discussed with the University prior to his reinstatement.
He admits he made a mistake by not speaking to LSU sooner after a Yahoo report came out detailing a wiretapped phone call he had with Christian Dawkins, a now imprisoned basketball middleman who was the focus of a federal investigation into corruption in college basketball.
When pressed on specifics about reported conversations with Dawkins, Wade deflected, saying, "Everything you can think of was address in the meeting with LSU and the NCAA."
