LSU Coach Suspended, Player Benched Amid Recruiting Controversy Caught on FBI Wiretap

LSU basketball head coach Will Wade has been suspended “indefinitely” by the school after Yahoo Sports reported new details about FBI-intercepted phone calls Wade had in 2017 regarding alleged payments to a player. Freshman point guard Javonte Smart will not participate in his team’s final regular-season game on Saturday, against Vanderbilt. “This decision does not suggest, in any way, wrongdoing or knowledge of wrongdoing on Javonte’s part or his family,” LSU said in a statement. “Javonte and his family have been fully cooperative and open with university officials.”
