Thoughts on Wade

First off, the dude is a good coach. I truly believe that. One thing that a lot of fans forget is that he is still 39. In terms of coaches, that's really young. Some of the challenges that the team has faced this season would be hard for even an experienced coach to work through, but I think for Wade he just didn't really have the answer. He has proven that when he has the guys that he wants on the court and the roster set how he wants, he can win. However, these last 6 games shows that when that's not the case he struggles to adapt and get creative. But the thing is, that's okay. Find me a coach that had everything figured out 9 years into coaching and only 5 years coaching against competition like the SEC right now. Coach K didn't make it past the Round of 32 until his 11th season. Same with Jay Wright. shite look at how long it took Scott Drew to turn Baylor around. Does it suck to lose? Absolutely. Is he to blame for some of it? Of course. But that doesn't mean that its time to throw the towel in on him or his ability as a coach. He will continue to learn and mature as a coach. Now, if he still has the same problem in 5 years or so, then we may have a problem. But for now, we need to just ride out the storm and let him (and his players for that matter) grow and develop and get better.
