Come back and educate us when you are an established basketball coach in DIV I NCAA. I can preach from the couch too, but it doesn't carry much weight.

When the other team can’t miss even if they tried it’s hard to blame the coach. A lot of those shots were contested.
no, many of their 3-pointers were clean looks because we played atrocious defense on the ball screens.

All LSU had to do was foul them on the floor and put them at the line. They shot 65% fro the line and could only get back in it with time running out with 3-point plays. LSU guarded the 3 lightly, but not hard all game. Guarding them hard requires keeping your hands up at all times and sticking to the shooter like glue. We were giving them space almost every time.

A lot of hype doesn't mean that you are a good coach.

Your buddy Johnny had zero hype and wasn’t a good coach.

Why did it take you so long to show up today? Haha.

Conference and national championships usually mean you are a good coach though. Wade's team already has one.

I did not say anything a out Wade the Vanderbilt game. I think I'm softening up a little bit on him. The incessant hype here about Wade has also softened since the football team won the national championship. It is the incessant Hyde that annoys me the most.

Let's go back to Johnny and Trent then. That worked out so well.

Will Wade Gameplan:
Plan A- Run, Jump, Shoot, Dribble.
Plan B- Clap and Yell then cross arms and look serious.

Wade definitely has his flaws. I think he's great at preparation, but lacks some of the in-game decision-making skills at times. Things turn quickly on this site with a few losses. I thought they would struggle more than they have without Manning though to be honest because of his skills and depth issues. I think it caught up to us today since Days fouled out. It was pretty incredible that we grabbed the lead again though before the final shot.

I bet you knew Orgeron was a great hire.
How much money did you bet on the football team to
win it all, prior to this season.

Keep in mind that Wade had one arm tied behind his back in recruiting on this last class. Hopefully everyone learned from that debacle and things will continue to move forward.

My biggest issue is not calling timeouts late. Anything going to the basket today in regulation would’ve been better than what he got. And he knew what he was going to get. Pitiful decision

He does not call timeouts late because he is incapable of drawing up a play to get us a basket. Even when you see him with the clipboard it does not have anything on it!

Florida did it why can’t we?

Well, you have asked this twice; so I assume you want an answer.

Yes, LSU CAN win a championship just like Florida. But let me point this out for you and others that reference Florida and Donovan every chance you get. Donovan got to UF in 1996. His first SEC championship? Year 4 in 2000 (comparatively, Wade won it in year 2 and in position to go back to back in year 3). Donovan’s first natty? 2006. That’s 10 years after starting at UF. Wade is in YEAR 3 PEOPLE! Year 3 after taking over an absolute dumpster fire of a program. So spare me the, “can Wade get it done” talk.

Will he get it done is a different question. But to this point, he has shown way more signs (passion for the game, attention to details, recruiting, building a good staff, elite offensive coaching, etc) that he will get it done at some point rather than not getting it done. But the NCAA tournament is a different beast of its own. And it is not cliche to say that the best team is not always the one that wins it all.
