Isn’t it crazy that Will Wade still hasn’t coached a NCAAT game

To me, crazier still is that in our history - which has had some great teams, neither the men nor women have won a Final Four game.

Well there it is. The NCAA along with Dick Vitale’s help, unleashed the coronavirus.

The only reason he didn't is because of BoBo the Clown aka Joe Alleva.

Wade may have not coached the games, but his team made it to the Sweet 16. Maybe LSU would have gone farther if not for his suspension.

ETA: and LSU would have made the dance this year as well.

I really was put aback at seeing Alleva attend the games late in the season after shitting on Will Wade and his team. More like, mad as hell.

That declaration if long overdue. Assuming the team stays healthy and no other "2020 weirdness" takes place, this team has the talent and players to reach the Final Four. If they don't, it further affirms that the big talk of Wade's sycophants never matches the actual results.

SEC Championship/Sweet 16 in year 2 and a 2nd place finish in year 3 after taking over a dumpster fire aren't actual results?

His team has an NCAA appearance. He's 1 for 2 on that deal.

He's overrated but has assembled a team with Final Four talent in just his 4th year of a complete rebuild.

Those results don't match the extreme hype and hoopla asserted by his fans. I have no beef with the results - he can recruit great talent. But he was hyped by his fawning fans as being "the best coach at LSU", "we're going to the final Four," etc. He has done as well as any reasonable person would expect. But, he hasn't come close to matching the hyped up praise that his fans lavish on him.

He's had a MUCH better start to his tenure at LSU than Coach K had at Duke.

You and kkv are two of the biggest idiots this board has to offer, and this thread is glaring proof of that.

This is the same old, tired, stupid arse crap you’ve been dragging out to every single basketball or Wade thread since he got here. When are you going to get tired of this schtick?

But what you just said is so freaking contradictory that it’s not even funny.

Your problem, based on what you just said, isn’t with Wade or his results or ability to coach. It’s with other fans. Wade can’t control what fans say and do on a message board. If he could, he would have gotten rid of your sorry arse a long time ago. But just b/c fans say outlandish things doesn’t make the coach himself or his results overrated. His results have surpassed the expectations of realistic fans based on the dumpster fire of a program he took over. And that most certainly does deserve praise.

But guess what? Fan is short for fanatical; so it is dumb to not expect fans to talk in hyperbole about a coach they are excited with. Get the freak over it!
