Basketball-We need a coach-UNACCEPTABLE RESULTS!

We have as talented, if not MORE talented, kids on our team than every team we have lost to the last 6 games. I am taking injuries into consideration. This product is inexcusable and embarrassing. Why does this feel like the deja vu?

This is simply not true.

Why do you assume this? This team is limited offensively due to lack of shooters. They also go through stretches of games where they don't give great effort defensively and dig themselves a hole. They're middle of the pack in the league all things considered.

WW does not have the character needed to lead young men but he is a great recruiter. Would need really good assistants to run the program with him as head coach.

WW has proven he can win and build a team that can win. He has done that since he has been at LSU. I think he gets the benefit of the doubt. He had to completely remake this team and to have as much early success as they have had, I was surprised. A big part of the team, Pinson, is missing. The struggles are no surprise as their defense has carried them in many games. This team will not likely be a deep run NCAA team, especially if they can’t score but to throw out the baby with the bath water is irresponsible. He appears to be an elite recruiter and the future looks to be bright for LSU basketball.

When is enough, enough? Wait until next year gets really old. WW makes life changing money in one year. The fans should expect close to the same, IMO.

After reading this board for years, I’ve come to the conclusion that for LSU fans, anything short of a national championship every year is UNACCEPTABLE RESULTS!!
I’m sure that none of you come close to holding yourselves to the same standards of excellence.

Just my opinion... sometimes one has to look no farther than the assistant coaches! This corps of assistants has proven to be great recruiters, but don't seem to be very good at player development into a system on both ends of the floor... defense seems to be fine, but offensive philosophy seems to be almost non-existent. Let's get more on the floor coaching during practice and during games! Again, just one man's opinion!

He absolutely has changed our program for the better. In a big way
And he’s not the highest paid coach in the conference by a long stretch. Our ROI with Wade is very good

I don't think anyone argues his recruiting success. People do have valid concerns over his coaching ability. You talk about the success and how quickly he turned it around. In basketball some teams literally rebuild annually. He has 1 win in the NCAA trny at LSU and is in year 5. This year has tanked. How long do you give him to perform in the post season? I don't think fire him, but next year he better turn it on in March. I do not think he is Woodwards guy. Jmo.

So that equates to how many millions per NCAA trny win? He has 1 win, so. Surely you are old enough to have experienced the highs of March Madness in the past? He has yet to deliver there. You are giving him way too much credit. Great recruiter, subpar coach. We just got rid of one of those in football..even after a NC.

We went to the sweet 16 3 years ago.
That was 2 tournaments ago. I old enough to remember a lot of 1st round exits, a lot of missing the tournament.
I am Also old enough to remember that NO LSU coach has made the final four in their first 5 years.
This is the best start to a career in LSU history.
He also has one of the lowest salaries in the conference. The “we pay him 2.5 million he should make the sweet 16” argument is retarded when you consider there are probably 25-30 coaches with higher salaries out there.

It doesn't work like that. You can't count a year of the coach coaching that they canceled the tournament when lsu would have been a 5-7 seed. You also can't count a season that he coached the whole season to get the team to the tournament but was not able to coach post season against him either.
So either count 2019 and 2020 for the coach, or don't count them.
wade has either coaches two season 2018 nit, 2021 tournament and this season remains to be seen. Which would put him at a 53-32 .623 win percentage, with 1 NCAA tournament and possibly 2 by end of year. That will make wade 2 of 3 years making the tournament.
Or you can count 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and this year 2022 that is not complete.
If Lau make it to tournament this year that would put LSU at 4 NCAA tournaments straight if it wasn't for the guilty until proven innocent mob of 2019 and 2020 COVID shenanigans.
Take note and write it down so you can change your angle to complain abo8t

If you watch our shooting and think we are super talented you don’t know anything about basketball.We have great defenders unfortunately you also have to score and besides Eason no one can create their own shot.Murray will get there with some experience but other than that we are a middle of the road team.Just cause we started hot doesn’t mean we are some juggernaut,Will Wade didn’t simply stop coaching just because we were winning games.Other teams just realized they can defend us by forcing us to shoot the ball from the outside and unless we just have a great night shooting we will never consistently win if we are relying on the 3 and Reid is just not developed he is not a big presence in the middle and we get out rebounded.So if you thinks team who cannot shoot 3s and doesn’t rebound the basketball better than their opponents is suppose to make the elite 8 or some dream in your head you are lying to yourself.Will Wade is bringing in the 2 way players needed to play this style of defense and score the basketball but he will need a couple seasons before we are at our full potential.You don’t just go from being a great offensive team and totally transferring into a defensive team for no reason,he was forced too cause the one shooter we had in Miller is hurt for the season and the rest of the team besides Eason is very inconsistent

A lot of sensible comments in this thread being downvoted to oblivion by the WW Sycophants.
There's no more Shrimpy to defend, so they've latched onto Wade and are obsessively defending him.
Wade was my favorite coach at LSU, but he's been here long enough and it's clear to what he CAN and CAN'T do.
He's needs an INJURY FREE team full of elite talent to win big time.
When the planets don't align and there are injuries, he's done because he's not that good at in-game coaching and adjustments. He's never played the game, except in high school and doesn't know what to do.
Is that "Good Enough" for Louisiana State University?......

Everybody needs elite talent to make it to the final four or elite 8 you bafoon
Posted on 2/6/22 at 12:15 pm to tigerbait143
Wouldn’t have those Talented players if not for WW recruiting them, say what u want about said recruiting, he knows how to relate to HS players. He has 2 5*s coming soon, the coaching can be fixed, recruiting talent takes something else. Before you say we can get another or better Coach, don’t fool yourself into thinking you can get a better recruiter.

At best Will Wade is like the 8 highest paid coach in the SEC (he is probably lower the list I could find was the top 25 paid coaches in the country with 7 from the SEC) behind the likes of Conzo Martin, Buzz Williams, and Tom Cream.
