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

by TD Staff Reporter

February 27, 201932 Comments

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.

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.

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.

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

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
