Maybe some fans have higher expectations than they should for this team and coaching staff. Will Wade isn't 1 of the top 25 coaches in college basketball. This team plays very undisciplined and truly doesn't look well-coached.

If you are happy with Wade, fine. There's certainly plenty worst coaches out there. But to over-inflate his coaching is a problem. He's being out-coached considerably. Our players are who they are, I don't blame them for their poor play. WW is supposed to coach Gaines into being a better PG by being less careless with the ball. WW is supposed to motivate Days to stop playing lazy on offense and start taking a more active role in "creating" offensive opportunities as opposed to just standing stagnant on the perimeter waiting for the ball to find him. Basically, there are various issues with the "coaching" aspect of this team. I'm 46 and have been watching basketball as long as I can remember and it's painfully obvious this team has a lot of coaching issues.

It is. But the perception of how many LSU fans are this dumb is skewed because it's the vocal minority on this website.

I don't ever meet people in public that spew the ignorance that I read on here. And I talk LSU sports anytime and any place with all sorts of acquaintances

Can you be more specific? The ones who say we aren’t very good fundamentally or the ones who were saying Final Four, build new arena, extend WW 3 weeks ago?

Is this about the fans who saw this team and thought it was a rope three seed in the tourney, or fans that are bitching about the losing?

Wade has shortcomings but he’s also not even 40 years old. Why is it so difficult to just say he needs to grow but also enjoy where are right now?

Your Gaines point is valid but Gaines is another guy who has only played basketball since the 9th grade. The dude is just starting to scratch the surface on his ceiling

It’s one thing to criticize Pear. It’s another when people can’t even enjoy where he’s gotten LSU to despite a witch hunt scandal and shite facilities

Yeah, I haven't watched a basketball game in years, but I do enjoy a good melt.

I take it we lost?

Yeah it’s made me pretty angry. The Efton Reid talk is digesting. Absolute frothing retards.


Not sure exactly what talk you are referring to, but Reid’s play warrants a critical eye. He is just not very helpful to this team right now. It is not only wrong to assume someone is retarded bc they are criticizing Reid’s play it is, based on his performance, the logical thing to do.

So many of you don’t want to hold the players accountable for bad games and goodness knows you don’t want to criticize WW for bad games. Who exactly should the fans hold accountable?

It's all the refs fault to them. No one else. And today was a fairly called game.

That is what is funny. The divide is so drastic. The people on the other side are just as crazy. Very few people understand what this team is

No one agrees Efton Reid is getting the job done but it’s pretty reasonable to conclude he has a nice ceiling and could be a great 2-3 year guy for us if he develops. Reid is a project being new to basketball and if he weren’t he’d be at duke right now.

It’s one thing to say he’s got a lot of work to do. It’s another when people have painfully dumb takes that just trash a guy

People wouldn’t be clamoring over final four talk if the final four didn’t happen to be in New Orleans, plain and simple

If we are healthy hitting on all cylinders we are a nightmare to play, sure. That just hasn’t happened in a few weeks.

You don't have to be a hard core fan to see negative aspects of a team.

It was an unranked team and they out hustled, out played, and out defended us.
We are fundamentally unsound on defense

You right. So many thought this was a final 4 team feasting on OOC teams.

This guy is one of those idiots.

What about getting paid for your basketball knowledge makes you a basketball guru? There's plenty of people in the coaching ranks, on TV, Radio and all the different platforms provided on the interwebs, which are full of mouth breathing idiots that are far from basketball gurus yet they get paid for their opinion.

I never understood the position that idiots like you take that people can't speak on other's idiotic takes and call them out for the obviously idiotic takes unless they're some guru, who can only be classified as a guru if they're someone getting paid for what they speak on.

If our idiotic fans can overreact and be in constant meltdown mode 24.7.365 and constantly speak bad about our players or successful coaches, regardless of how wrong they are and how it's clear they haven't any knowledge on what they speak on. Then, why can't our fans who see those emotionally immature and irrational fans only on here after every loss call them out for being immature, irrational and dumb, especially when they're speaking ill of our players and successful coaches?

Or better yet, why is it you don't require those dumb fans to be gurus when they speak on things they clearly have no clue about? However, you want to require the people calling those who are clearly idiotic fans, to be gurus?

I bet you the same people who are clamoring for Wade to be fired are the same ones who thought it was a horrible idea to fire O, even though the evidence exists, and is very clear, not only which one is the better coach in their respective sports, but also which one has/had their program going in the right direction.
