Wade Shuts Down LSU Return, Tigers Seek New Coach

0:00On March 12, LSU's men's basketball team had a rough year finishing at the bottom of the SEC standings and getting knocked out first in the conference tournament. With head coach Matt McMahon under fire, fans are pushing hard for a big shake-up to turn things around. A lot of supporters are dreaming of bringing back former coach Will Wade, who led the Tigers a few years back before leaving amid some off-court issues. Former Swirl that the school might target him if they part ways with McMahon, Wade now coaches at NC State, where his team is gearing up for a strong run in the NCAA tournament. Fans hoped his success there might make him open to returning home. But in a recent press conference, Wade firmly shut down any talk of jumping back to LSU. He made it clear he's focused on his current job. For now, that puts a damper on those hopes, leaving the Tigers to explore other options as they look ahead to next season.
