Will Wade Not Among The 15 Nominees For Coach Of The Year

by Staff Reporter

Stephen Lew-USA TODAY Sports

The NCAA announced the 15 nominees for men's basketball coach of the year on Wednesday and noticeably missing from the list was LSU coach Will Wade.

Wade, who is in his second season at LSU, has guided the Tigers to a 23-5 (13-2 SEC) record, good for a three-way tie at first place in the SEC with wins over No. 5 Kentucky and No. 5 Tennessee in the last couple of weeks.

LSU did not make the NCAA Tournament in 2017-2018 but is projected to be anywhere from a No. 2 - No. 4 seed when the tournament starts this March.

Ya sucks but wade will be done after this year

MrLSU•62 months

FBI and the fact he will be fired after the season ends means they don't want him anywhere around being mentioned as a coach of the year.

Placebeaux•62 months

Are you retarded or something

JabarkusRussell•62 months

Why is Coach K nominated? I could get that team to the Sweet 16.

Have guns Will Wade travel.

Tigers eyes•62 months

There's no doubt his name is absent due to the subpoena. I'm sure everybody is looking at him like he cheated and paid players and etc. Even though if there was any evidence of this we'd know about it by now. Just having his name mentioned in the same breath as this trial sways the opinion of ignorant people.

AustinKnight•62 months

100% the case although probably nothing to worry about the NCAA won’t chance him winning this kind of award then there being a shite storm of liability. Anyone who thinks other wise doesn’t pay attention to the NCAAs agenda

DVinBR•62 months

well, after we hoist 2 trophies in the next month we can all point and laugh

Genestealer55•62 months

Go deep in tourney and make them look silly...that all

Fightin Okra•62 months

No credibility if he isn’t in this list. Coach K? Admire him but what did his team do in the two games without their superstar? What did LSU do in its two games without Waters?

atltiger6487•62 months

oh dear - are you really comparing Zion Williamson to Tremont Waters?

im4LSU•62 months

no, hes comparing the coaching job of Wade and Coach K without their best players on the court..... dont be ignorant

NPComb•62 months

Bring home West, SEC, and a Natty and then frick dem!

3HourTour•62 months

I guarantee LSU will not win the “west”

atltiger6487•62 months

"I guarantee LSU will not win the “west”"..... most people on this board don't understand that there are no divisions in SEC basketball.

Big EZ Tiger•62 months

Laughable that he is not listed regardless of any subpoena. One of his main contributors from last year was shot and killed before the season and he beat UK at Rupp and just beat Tennessee without Waters (LSUs best player) to have the 1st place edge in the SEC race. What a joke.

CanebreakCajun•62 months

total fricking bullshite.

LSU Patrick•62 months

Makes no sense that he is not even a candidate.

reo45•62 months

How Coach K is a candidate is what makes people question everything these days. One of his worst years coaching BY FAR and has relied on superior talent on Offensive sets all year. What a crock of horse shite.

atltiger6487•62 months

uh, Coach K brought in the top 3 players and they're the best team in the country. You honestly think Coach K doesn't belong in the top 15? Man, the emotional delusion on this board is frightening.

reo45•62 months

You don't each the games do you? I been watching Coach K since 1989. This year's team is about talent strictly and Coach Wade has been as good if not better with less than coach K also. His offensive sets and defensive philosophy is totally different than what he has coached in the past because his players are becoming one and doners and they are not learning his system. So, he is resorting to allowing them to do what they learned best in their AAU days. If you can't awe that then you are delusional.

LaBR4•62 months

I love it. Wade will keep kicking everybody's arse with a chip on his shoulder. Keep fricking us

SouthernInsanity•62 months

Probably do to some ongoing BS.

Tigrdynasty•62 months

Well that's a BS list. Shocked Calipari's not on it too

Subpoena might play a role here.

You have to give Roy Williams props. He has managed to shake off bad publicity as well as anyone in sport.
