Obviously LSU is just not serious about winning in men’s basketball. Even with LSU’s history of producing really good/great players, the program is just an afterthought.

Bring Wade back and all is forgiven.


Either that or break out like $50 mil and go after a guaranteed, 100% proven winner. Kelvin Samson, Bill Self, Eric Musselman, Dan Hurley…

I don’t trust Scott to do anything else with bball. Don’t let him think he knows better. We can’t handle another 3-4 year waste of time.

Do you people honestly believe that the AD of a power 5 school doesn't care about mens basketball?? He absolutely cares about it. He has just put himself in a shtty situation that won't be easy to get out of.

I don’t think that he “doesn’t care” but this hire has failed badly and the program is now in a shitty situation trying to navigate that contract ($$) and finding a coach who will walk into this mess to fix it

If they are truly interested in building a new arena, it’s in his best interest that the men’s team is at least competitive

I don't care whether Woodward cares or not. He is the one that let himself be negotiated into a horrible contract for LSU. In other words, he didn't do his job. The idea that we couldn't get a coach if we didn't lie down on the contract is nothing but bull.

If I'm being honest... it's prob the big sport I'd rank last as well. Someone's gotta be last and we're a football/baseball school

Maybe Woody is in over his head as well.

Wait until Sept.

This is such a lazy take. Basketball makes infinitely more money and is way more important than baseball. We’ve won 7 national titles and it barley breaks makes a profit

Literally in your first response you pointed out that baseball won 7 natties and doesn't turn a profit..so it seems you CAN have a pretty nice program without a profit

Yes he does. Why do you think he fired JJ & brought in Will Wade ??. If he didn't care he would have let JJ coach another ten years. I spoke to him after Wade's last game as coach at the Indy football stadium. He wants a winner. That's why he hired Wade. He is not gonna settle for mediocrity and a last place SEC finish. Change has to be coming.
