So nothing. No SEC title, no playoff appearances.

Wade wasnt that great of a coach. He wasn't really an x's and o's guy. We still played most of the game in isolation with maybe a screen here and there. We still missed layups. We still Didn't know how to run a fast break. He definitely had more talent to work with though
This deserves an Amazingly Stupid Prize.

3 different schools to the NCAAT prior to age 40.

Top 10% Kenpom in offensive efficiency during his LSU tenure every season. Understood scheduling and maximizing OOC opponents for NET. Understood defense wasn't where it needed to be and made concerted efforts to correct it.

But, muh, Xs and Os, muh streetball. Muh is you. Stupid prize. You do have a lot of competition though.

Not saying he wasn’t but that’s a retarded reason and it was worth it? What has football won in the past 3 years?

The football program being put on probation would have been much worse for the AD than the basketball team being bad. And that’s true most places because football makes all the money

You’re right but it isn’t basketballs job to police the football team. Sacrificing something that had nothing to do with the actual problem doesn’t fix the problem.

team that plays hard, is competitive, always in the running for a SEC championship, makes the tournament every year and wins at least the first two rounds and makes a run at sweet 16 or better once every several years


winning the first two rounds is the same thing as sweet 16. this would be a nationally elite program not just a good SEC squad.

The team made 1.4 million dollars last season. An NCAA tourney game pays out over 2million. A sweet 16 run pays out over 6 million. Anyone saying that just making the tourney every year is not successful doesn’t know anything about college basketball.

Wow I should've thought of that.
I'm sorry he's Actually a very sound, technical coach. Hell when Wade was coach, we looked like Duke...,.... Or Kansas when they are elite. Lots of structured plays with set offenses, huh? Just whipping the ball around finding the open shooter, huh?. Lmao
It was the same sloppy play, Low basketball IQ, can't shoot to save their life, (but very athletic) players who played isolation ball, with a few different screens here and there. Or wait... maybe he was such a good coach that played free flowing, that he knew that & he was just Playing to our players strengths? Lmao...Every single fast break that started three on one ended upone on one with a circus shot. Just like it is every year. Athletic players Who can't shoot that love to play isolation. And under Will Wade, We ranked 89th in three point percent one year.... That was the best. The rest were around Around 200th or past 300th every single year. Just like they are today

The overrated basketball coach won the SEC and made the post season every year save 1. The football team hasn’t reached any of these goals in the past 3 seasons.

I read it, it was complete bullshite. Nothing you said was true or made any sense. The only fact you posted was in the edit and didn’t support any of your idiotic make believe. You don’t watch basketball and that’s fine but you’re terrible at pretending you do.

Do you understand the difference between winning something in competition and being awarded something by voters? Of course you don’t, you’re a moron.

Dude you sound like a buffoon. Everything I said was true. Including the basketball percentage. He definitely had more talent to work with. Maybe he should've recruited someone who could actually shoot a three pointer during his tenure here. Would've helped people forget about some of his Discrepancies.
Not that you need any help not remembering
