re: I don’t understand how Wade fans…

Wade was a flat out average coach with good “recruiting.” That isn’t what wins in March and his results show it.

99% of the time when the race card is pulled, it's pure bullspit. But you nailed it. Every word of your post. That's why so many of our hick fans like baseball over basketball. They just don't have the balls to admit it.

Wade thought acting like a baby and screaming “Hey Hey” every 20 seconds was coaching. If he yelled it looked like he was doing something. At no point in any season did we improve. In any game if we got behind we stayed behind usually. If we had a big lead we gave it up.

I never saw it either. frick Will Wade. I’ve said it from the start and been crucified. The people agreeing with you here: I guarantee most of them were all on board with “In Wade We Trust”, “The General”, “It’s an ongoing investigation”. Half-arse, dirty coach. frick him.

So how much CBB have you watched in honestly in your life? How much do your care about LSU Basketball?

It's an earnest question.

How many games did you watch this year? Do you think the team was well coached?

I’m a Wade fan and I liked being competitive but hey the AD got rid of him. You gonna think Johnny Jones was Mike Krzyzewski with team that takes the floor next. Vanderbilt is gonna skull frick us

And that’s where I stopped. You’ve probably also complained that they don’t run enough plays, asked if we are going to win the West, and have no clue that LSU’s offensive efficiency ratings over 5 years was one of that best in the country.

Stick to complaining about LSU firing O.

If the question is if Will Wade would've ever taken LSU to a final four, my answer would probably be no.

He could've hit the Louisiana talent jackpot like Brady did in 2006, but nothing about his coaching tendencies showed me that we would constantly be pushing for final fours.

That's the opposite of what I think. Dude was bringing in talent and figuring it out as he goes. We're a potential Elite Eight team next year.

He coached in two Marches and only got one NCAA tourney out of it.. He went to the SEC Tourney final last year and dominated a good St. Bonaventure team. He then lost a close game to a 1 seed as an 8 seed. He didn't have multiple chances to coach in the Tourney.

It took him a while to figure out recruiting players that could handle defense. He did that this season. Next years team was going to have a stacked roster with ball handlers, shooters, attackers, and defenders. Also, players like Brandon Murray, Alex Fudge, and Efton Reid would've been a year older. He would've had two Centers in Efton Reid and Traore with Traore probably starting because of his ability to move at his size on defense. Julian Phillips was going to be an absolute stud. Adam Miller is one of the best ball handlers in the country.

The team was going to be absolutely fricking stacked. Especially if Eason stayed. The team would've probably been top 10 in the nation in offensive efficiency and top 10 in defensive efficiency. That's what makes up a top 5-10 team in the country.

He'd already proven he could coach teams to top offensive efficiency and this year he proved he could a defensive team. Next year would've been his first with both. LSU was about to dominate in the SEC next season and then finish with a 1 or 2 seed in the NCAA tournament.
