Look-I agree Benford is not, will not, and should not be WWs permanent replacement. But...

Does anybody really believe the results of the Florida game in the SEC tournament or either of these first two playoff games would’ve been any different with WW on the bench? We have watched this team all year long do just what they’re doing. I want WW back as much as anyone. He’s an exceptional leader and recruiter and I’m sure he is a capable bench coach but he is certainly not elite as a game coach imo.

I do think Wade wins the UF game.

I've said it in another thread:

This is the third game in a row where the opposing team has gone without fouling for 8+ minutes in the second half.

Part of that is coaching. We saw Benford get the tech against UF for the 6-point play. I don't think Wade lets it get to that point.

It took Benford 17:00 minutes to figure out how to attack a 2-3 zone. I'll Pass

Then why do you...

Based on what’s recorded and his absence on the bench, it doesn’t seem that this is the case.

Dude, Wade would have called time out. Said if I see another 3 w/o getting the ball in the paint, you are on the pine. It was horrible coaching. We won the game on a drive to the goal. That should have been the entire 2nd half.

I’m thankful benford has been a stabilizing guy. However, his in game coaching is poor.

We’re better obviously with WW but I think Benford is staying the course. He’s a players coach more than WW imo and that’s fine but where we are missing wade is when things go wrong and get away from them he is good at reining them in. Also he never let them feel like they have arrived so to speak. So they wouldn’t get complacent

Benford didn’t get a T this game. The other coach did and gave us two points. We won by two points. Our coach was composed. Maryland’s was not.

If LSU refuses to reinstate Wade, then they are as much as throwing away the chance to win. We have the talent to win it all, but from here on out we’ll be facing elite coaching. I appreciate what Benford has done and how he has held the team together, but we need Wade now.

6 awful calls or no calls on our bigs down the stretch. This is from an ex pro that I watched the game with. He could care less about LSU. He is 6 10. 300 so he knows how big men play the game. College NBA and Europe.

We will get at least 6 of those against Mich St. have to make more shots.

I think Wade would have made better adjustments against the zone today.

I think we win the Florida game, and I think the yale game goes a little smoother.

Wade is very good with waters and the offense.

Dont minimize the impact of Coach Wade.
