Stop banging on Wade

Give the man some slack. He is a great coach who’s had a REALLY rough road so far here. If he stays, the upcoming years will be some great basketball as he continues to get acclimated to Louisiana and the south. If he gets fed up and leaves, he will win a championship (or two or three or more) with whatever program he goes to.
We are fortunate to have him. Just let the man work!

Really rough road?
Through HIS recruiting efforts he had LSU resurrected very quickly. And it manifested with arguably the best regular season since 1980. He raised the level of expectations quicker than anyone could have hoped. That is a good thing!!
But it doesn't mean that he should be beyond reasonable criticism. As we sit here today this is the worst coaching job he has done at LSU to date. And it is not JUST the meltdown loss vs. Texas Tech. It's the failure to fix the defensive woes after FULLY RECOGNIZING last year it was a HUGE problem. He's struggled meshing his "big three" players as at times it looks like Watford and Thomas are competing more with each other for NBA scouts' eyes vs. the opponent
Going into the season this was, IMO, his second most talented team at LSU (some would argue the most talented). Right now, if the NCAAT started today it is likely this group wouldn't be in it and for a program that really thrived on beating good opponents in year's 1 and 2, that has fallen off the last two seasons. Particularly this season where it appears LSU simply isn't a good enough team to play with the better teams in CBB.
No one, realistically, is calling for him to be fired (yet). But I don't understand why it is so taboo to levy some criticism on him whereas other HC's (O, Maineri, get lambasted non stop). Just because YOUR expectations of LSU basketball are pathetically low doesn't mean they SHOULD be

He's a straight up gangsta.
So, stop criticizing him!

I was one of Wades biggest fans, but right now its hard not to criticize him and this team at the moment. Saturdays loss is just inexcusable. And this team has looked less than prepared the last 4 games, 3 of which have been losses. right now this team is soft physically and weak mentally. The loss Saturday may be as tough to get over as the 30 point loss. And with Bama on Wednesday the schedule doesnt get any easier At the moment, i dont see this team in the NCAA.

LSU's NET rating right now is 39. They are 1-5 in Q1 games with that one win (vs. Ole Miss) BARELY remaining a Q1 win (Ole Miss is #75 in NET, which is the cutoff for a Q1 road win). LSU hasn't beaten a single team that is a likely NCAAT team (unless you think Arkansas is a NCAAT team -- I don't) and they currently have a losing record on the road.
The selection committee says over, and over, and over again that they are looking for teams who can beat other NCAAT teams AND can win games away from home (That's why NET places such value on those metrics). Right now LSU simply hasn't been one of those teams. Now, that's not to say they can't fix those issues. Particularly considering 3 of the next 4 (maybe all 4) a HUGE NCAAT opportunities. But right now, if I'm betting, I think LSU is one the outside looking in or, at best, one of the last 4 teams in.
The TTU loss was crushing for NCAAT purposes. Not because it is a "bad" loss. But because it was a BIG missed opportunity. With that loss in the rearview I don't think it is hyperbolic to say LSU's NCAAT fate will largely be determined in these next two weeks. If they go O'fer vs. Alabama, Florida, Tennessee, you can close the book on them. There won't be any "big win" opportunities left.

I 100% agree.

Not really, but this is LSU, not KY, Duke or UNC. So we aren’t doing better.

How is he a great coach?
Posted on 2/1/21 at 9:47 pm to sumtimeitbeslikedat
I am a WW fan but even I will criticize him. Asking for him to be fired is ridiculous but I do believe he has lacked the ability to get consistent defense and I think he allows Cam too much room instead of working to make him a great all around baller. The guy could avg 5 assists per game easily if he just passed to the open man. He's done it a couple of times but there are many other times he should have. And at times when the offense gets stagnant needs to get Gaines or Cook in earlier and let them drive and create. I believe this team would be better with one of those 2 at PG. Oneal coming back will help with rebounding and D but the loss of Days hurts even though he has disappeared a couple of games also. Hope he can get it worked out soon.

Main complaint with Wade is he trusts his players to a fault. Its why his teams are less reliant on gameplan and more reliant on individual talent. He needs to develope a more disciplined culture. It can happen.

Let's see where this team ends up.
The last 2 games, I thought we looked better, not great.
Days being out will hurt for sure, so unless O'neal or Leblanc really step up we could be in trouble. But, they may actually fit better in some ways. Neither look to score and both will at least rebound and try to defend with more length than Days
Thomas has to be more efficient and take better shots.
Smart and Watford are what they are. If both are playing well this team can be really good.
I have a feeling this team is about to turn a corner. I might feel different after Wed night, but I just think they are about to get on a little roll.
