none of you fellers are super into counterpoints. just snark and lies and straw men. the issue is you have confused negativity and criticism with sophistication. and nobody can take that negativity away from you, with any sort of reason and rationality. you wont give it up, you simply must pretend to be an enlightened critic. its a fairly common mid-wit fan gambit, the baseless criticism. this is a lie and i never said it. why are you lying?
2021 ESPN wrote about Wade: Wade is the lone coach in this tournament who never played high school basketball — he played golf and was a four-year student manager at Franklin Road Academy in Nashville. Wade's entry into collegiate coaching would come at his alma mater of Clemson, where he was a student manager under Oliver Purnell before being hired as a graduate assistant for the Tigers
meh. I need to see a correlation study between playing high school sports and college coaching records.
Well I think we need to accept that the RazerPigs are a very good team. Time to put them behind us and get ready for next week. We have a very good team too, just a terrible matchup with ARK. Not that many teams out there that quick. #GeauxTigers
is this meant to be a criticism? playing and coaching are different things. michael jordan and mike kytzewsky have different skillsets. players are good at playing, which has nothing to do with coaching or management. thats why jeter just left the marlins. he sucked at that.
these wade haters dont do data or metrics. they just make vague claims that they can see what others cant. then they ignore how wade has been winning more consistently than anyone in the SEC.
you make nonsense points, then when countered, you withdraw. typical midwit behavior. like you were not aware of how data based arguments work.
Our radio guys were having this discussion the other day, he was saying the really great players that move on to coach/manage almost always suck. I guess its difficult for them to relate
Let's address your points You say best 5 year record at LSU - In five years, WW has lost 51 games, been suspended for refusing to talk to his bosses, took a $250,000 pay cut to keep his job and has LSU under NCAA and FBI investigation. He's also led LSU to one NCAA tourney in that timespan. The good news is he's about to get fired with no buyout! Lost 3 NBA players from last year's team - Thanks for helping my point. With 3 NBA players on his roster, WW's team went 19-10 and finished third in the SEC. WW knows how to pay them, but has no clue how to develop them or manage a game. What other team in the country had 3 NBA players on its roster last year? If you have 3 NBA players on your team and you didn't win your conference or make the the Final Four, you're not a very good coach. Top 5 recruiting class - Once again, that stat only supports my claim that he knows how to pay them, but is clueless how to develop or coach them. This year's team finished tied for 5th and was bounced by Arkansas from the tourney and failed to even make it into the semifinals. This is also the third time the Razorbacks have beaten LSU this season. To add to my point, Efton Reid came in as a 5-star, but has struggled to play like a one-star. WW has overcome his lack of coaching and player development by hitting the transfer portal. LSU's top two players are Pinson and Eason, both transfers. WW was also counting on guard Adam Miller to contribute before he was injured. Miller is also a transfer! This info only supports that WW knows how to pay them, but is clueless how to develop players or manage them during the game. Here are a few coaches that I think Woodward should at least take a look at: Grant McCasland, N. Texas, learned under Scott Drew and has program on upward trajectory Darian DeVries, Drake, known as a good recruiter and one of the game's best game planner/adjustment maker in the game Niko Medved, Colorado State, one of the young and upcoming coaches in the game, has won everywhere he's been The reality is these are all young guys with a lot of upside, but Woodward has shown he's willing to go out and sign a veteran coach and pay a lot of money, if the right match is found. My guess is that Woodward will go for the big hire and will most likely land someone we thought we didn't have a chance at. I trust Woodward to make a good hire. I'm just excited to see WW leave the building!
