Dino Gaudio charged with extortion

Gotta admit that Mack secretly recording Dino was a very clever idea on his part, considering what Dino knew, having someone charged with federal extortion for threatening you with your own violations is quite the reversal

CM: "My word may not mean much to you . . . I'm not trying to fuck you . . . I love you Dino."

Also, CM: "Ohhhhhhh, btwwwwwww."

That's a pretty fascinating read and also alludes in the chat to Wake firing Dino.

Dino really was a good recruiter and apparently he did the same thing at Louisville. Just not great at some of the other stuff.

Yeah. Curious what the "low road" would have been for Dino.

Except that Mack will continue to be employable as a basketball coach. Dino may be able to coach middle schoolers.

Sure. That’s true. Plus Mack has a season or two left on a multi million dollar contract so even if he never works again after Louisville he’ll be fine. I just think Mack is the asshole here. If I am an assistant coach looking for a new position I definitely won’t be working for Mack.

100% true if you have good choices.
 
Neither of these guys apparently learned a damn thing from Skip Prosser. What a shame.

Yeah, but Dino's now largely unemployable in college basketball, even for TV. I'll venture to say this isn't the end of possible fallout for Mack.

Isn’t Dino 65? He’s made pretty good $ and showed be fine if he managed it well.
 
Alright. Dino is out of b-ball. Wellman and Hatch are gone. It’s time to get the real story on Dino leaving WF. It obviously wasn’t so bad that ESPN wouldn’t hire him as a no-name b-ball analyst. They wouldn’t take that risk if it was something super serious.

A lot more. Mack makes $4 million a year. 6 games is about 20% of the season. Using that formula, Mack is out $800K. Even if the pay reduction is half that, Mack is out $400K. Clown show.

Best laugh I’ve had this week!
 
People who have money still want to get paid.

The first thing that comes to mind is that the sexual assault allegations were not public at the time that he was fired. When he says "the last time this happened, I kept quiet" but the last time "this happened" he would have been the head coach so it all would have been on him. That's the only thing he maybe could have made public that wouldn't directly implicate him.

It has to be the incident in the hotel room in Miami after a ACC tourney loss involving two players and a groupie. When the girl and her mom went public, it got a lot of national attention. Had to be mortifying for Dr. Hatch. May have been smaller incidents along the way, but that was likely the final straw.

Didn’t all of that come out after Bz was hired?

I can't believe people are still rehashing the Dino firing as if there was nothing on the court that merited trying to get a better coach.

I think it has something to do with the two coaches that came after him, but what do I know! I only caped for [Redacted] for the first two years...

I think the transcript merits renewed discussion given the thinly veiled reference to his removal.
