He's on an arse Whipping Losing Streak right now

Been a strange year for him. Still would take him but he has been rolled by every ranked team he's played and they beat UNC but they didn't have 2 of their top scorers available that game. Also lost to ND and Ga tech which are in the bottom 3 of the ACC. With that payroll and a preseason POY candidate you would think he'd do better than that.

No but I see you have an extreme case of WDS so nothing you say will surprise me no matter how ignorant or retarded.

Hopefully within two weeks we will be having a discussion about the open position of LSU MBB head coach. To preview that here will be a list of the Wade opposition talking points:

1. "LSU can do better"....without ever providing a name of who is (a) better, (b) why he is better and (c) someone reasonably likely to take the LSU job.

2. "Wade isn't that good"...while ignoring the resume relative to other potential candidates

3. "He just coaches streetball"...without any explanation as to what constitutes "streetball" and how Wade's teams employ it.

4. "LSU doesn't need to bring back a cheater"...despite the fact the manner in which he cheated, paying players, is both legal and necessary now.


The bottom line is this. While Wade isn't the top coach in the NCAA, his 12 year resume will likely be much, much better than anyone LSU could realistically hire. Anyone who is a basketball fan knows that. The fans who have lived through this depressing 4 year waste of time would gladly welcome back the guy they watched win at the most consistent rate in decades. The people so vehemently in opposition aren't really basketball fans. They are probably fans of LSU in general, but not serious basketball fans. The nature of their opposition is not really based in any logic or deductive reasoning. It's simply just a dislike of those fans who think highly of Wade.

Your editorialization of his season in comedy gold. If you guys had any self awareness you could see it but I guess that’s what makes it so funny.

We don't agree often, but that is not a completely baseless statement. They've been blown out by Virginia 2x, got crushed at Louisville, and hammered by Duke (though Duke is doing that to everyone). They've also lost games to Texas, Auburn, Kansas and Miami.

They are 6th in the ACC, 29th in NET, 33rd in KenPom and projected to be a NCAA Tournament team. By no means is that bad, but 3-8 vs. the current NET top 40 isn't great. I watched them in the final minutes and OT vs. ND. It was a team that looked completely checked out. Even Wade wasn't particularly fiery. It was bizarre.

I've followed them close and watched most of their games. Wade can barely conceal his disdain for the team...which is obviously his fault/the team he put together and he'd be the first to tell you he did a poor job of evaluating some of the pieces they added.

Still, even with absolutely brutal choke jobs against ND and Miami, they are still comfortably in the tournament. They could win a game or 2 if shooting the ball well, or could lose to anyone if not.

I'd sure love for LSU to be in a spot where a disappointing season is a 9 seed in the tournament.

We saw what Wade can do. If the money and support is there for him, he will succeed
