He’s been coaching for 17 years now. How long does it take for a coach to figure it out?
I mean, how many of the coaches you are lusting after are 39?

This team is solid, they just don’t have a guy who can always get you a bucket when you need it regardless of the offensive set. Adam Miller would’ve been that guy for this team. High level basketball games are always decided by high level shot makers. If you don’t have a guy who can isolate and score consistently, it’s going to be tough against good teams.

Lol my only take is that yours was a weak response.

You will get downvoted but I see no lies

Wade's in his 17th year of coaching, and his 9th year as a D-1 head coach.
When does the "young coach" excuse get retired? After 10 years? 15? 20? 25?
So here it is again: How many years does Wade have to be a D-1 head coach before he's no longer a "young coach."
I need a number, please.

Lol what a shitty take
I think not. Should I blame the refs after each loss or start at the top of the pecking order?

Knowing this, I am good knowing what LSU will be moving forward. To get to that next level, we have to have a tweak in offensive philosophy or an assistant that can work on the program's deficiencies.
Wade is actually a fantastic in game coach when it comes to in game play calling. If Adam Miller never got hurt this team would be very scary both offensively and defensively.
Murray, Eason, and Miller are the only true scorers we have. The three of them would have been very nice to have with Pinson finding and setting up each with easy looks on top of their ability to create/get to the rim.

We just need to start recruiting more guys who can hit threes and defend
We did. He's now the leading scorer for the American conference and has almost single-handedly beat 3 quad 1 teams with his perimeter shooting and defense....
But Wade thought he was too short so he let him go to Tulane

Days isn't a true scorer?
Pinson isn't a true scorer?
Maybe i'm not using the same definition.

You won’t get specifics here. “Too young” and the “refs cheated us”are “burned in” excuses for all LSU sports.

Here’s your answer. Average age of first time D1 head coach is 43 years old with 10 years of full time experience.
Average age of coaches making it to tournament 50
Average age of coaches winning in first round 52
Average age of coaches in S16 53
Average age of coaches in F4 55
Tell me WW isn’t a young coach.

And at a similar point in Dale Brown's career, he was required to hire Tex Winter to coach basketball during the games.
Art Tolis was Brown's offensive bench mind that helped establish LSU Basketball. Winter didn't come along until years later.
Wade has neither a Tolis or a Winter on the bench, and it's very noticeable

no source, but ok
let us look at the final 4 teams from last year.
Mark Few had been to two Sweet 16s by the time he was 38.
Mick Cronin lead Cincinnati to the Sweet 16 in his age 40 season.
Scott Drew led Baylor to the Elite 8 in his age 40 season.
Kelvin Sampson led Oklahoma to the Sweet 16 in his age 44 season.

If its the word your hung up on let me rephrase.
Murray, Eason, and Miller are the 3 players on the team who can at anytime get to their spot and create to score.
Days is a good catch and shoot 3 point shooter. Pinson with his quickness can get to the rim but he is at his best when he uses his quickness to facilitate not try to score.

Did he? I watched those games, and he was nowhere to be seen.
Can't take credit when Wade didn't coach those games.

Is the quality 'at-bat' of baseball. Requires the right philosophy and repetition to create confidence. Good teams that those things will beat you almost every time if you don't have it. That is the condition of LSU Basketball right now.

While Murray may one day become a consistent offensive threat, he has completely disappeared the 2nd half of our SEC schedule. He’s also had piss poor body language.
Also Tari could be much better if he was more disciplined with the fouling. He’s only averaging 18 minutes a game even though he’s a our best player.
We literally don’t have a guy on this roster that can play a lot of minutes and take over the game from an offensive stand point and that has really burned us this year.

Good points. Certainly one of the players who can be very productive on offense is injured and thus not available this season, Adam Miller.
