Wade haters serious question

quote:

---

I think he can make an assistant coaching change that would help on the offense

---

So because this year's team is not all that great offensively it just erases the fact that Wade has had really really good offenses in previous years?

Now he all of a sudden can't coach offense I guess.

start funneling some NIL money to a key player or two to stay one more year

He needs to funnel some of his money to a College Basketball Offense 101 course.

Lsursb, I couldn’t have said it better.

I’m not a wade hater, I’m a wade criticizer. And I’m puzzled with his coaching. He recruits guys that are rated high in most ranking systems and coveted by other top schools, but they don’t develop well fundamentally.

I hate to use the word playground ball because there is structure in the offense at times. But sometimes you don’t need to dribble through your legs or behind your back to get to a spot. Sometimes you need to make a bounce pass instead of a lazy one handed pass. It’s the little things that frustrate me, particularly when I look at other disciplined teams and they make it look easy by using the same fundamentals you remember being taught at a basketball camp.

It also frustrates me that Wade knows and explains what the problems are but he can’t seem to get his teams to fix them. And there’s only 3 reasons that could be. He is either recruiting players incapable of understanding, not providing the right kind or amount of discipline to players who keep making the same mistakes, or he is just not a good communicator of what he wants from them.

Wade doesn't deserve to be fired. But his resume doesn't support the bouquets so many throw his way.

He's plateaued and our fane base is complacent so we'll keep him. Get great recruits and make the first round of the tourney. Rinse and repeat.

It wasn’t that long ago that we weren’t making the tournament. Now people are upset because we don’t advance as far as they would like. I define that as progress in the right direction.

But yes, the challenge now is to build on what we’ve accomplished and do the things we need to do to get to the Sweet 16 or beyond on a regular basis. We have to do better than we’ve done to do that.

WW has always had a good offensive team this year tide has changed. This is best defensive team he has ever coached. I look for him to blend the two in next year or two. Looking for even better results in next year or two.

I’m Curious about how many of his teams here you think have only made it to the first round?

We also lost to a 1 seed

Fair. But that's usually what happens to 8 seeds.

Coach K?

There was a huge push to axe Coach K after his third year at Duke. FACT. Go look at Coach K's record his first 3 years at Duke, he barely made it past that year....two losing seasons his first three years and he took over a program 2 years removed from playing for a national title and Duke was 24-9 the year before K took over. He did not make the tournament until his fourth year and did not make a Final Four until his sixth year.
