The Pack are about to elevate to the top tier of the ACC. Great hire by them, shows a real committment to basketball, and fans will be super excited.

Well One coach has 11 years of Head Coaching experience, made tournament 7 times, and would have been 8 if not for Covid. Will Wade would have been such a perfect fit at Miami, it honestly should just irritate all serious Miami basketball fans that we didn't go after him.

Let's hope Lucas hires a great assistant, and recruits like he was at Duke and Kentucky.

Two things can be true at the same time. 1. We should have hired Will Wade and 2. We are a committed basketball program

Maybe fun but it won't mean much. The guy Will Wade replaced was on the verge of going on a cinderella final four run just a year ago. How this thread ages in 4 to 5 years is of bigger consequence. This isn't me lobbing something at you but it wouldn't surprise me if the initial short term buzz of hiring "the top assistant in college basketball" played an overinflated part in the Lucas hire. Focusing on flash instead of sustainable substance.

Hey look at us we're Miami and we're ready to spend so much f'n money and we stole the Duke coach so we're serious about basketball. I don't even trust that the people behind the hire have any idea of what it truly means to be serious about basketball because the bit of the process we did see play out was wholly unserious.

But watch this thread for 5 years from now when Lucas is at Texas, if he is productive here... (thought Miami was against guys that may leave for other jobs... or is that only a football excuse.... )

If he’s that good here, it’s a win either way. But If the school won’t pay up to keep a young superstar coach, just fold the program.

Gonna hate it if the Pack does better than us the next few years. This is the guy I think Miami should’ve had at the top of their wish list

Wade basically said yesterday NCSU was not who he hoped to be coaching next season (Texas was the school he was hoping for).

I wouldn't necessarily count on Lucas or Wade to be where they are now in a few years, even if both are successful.
 
Will Wade will continue to show the SEC is more committed to sports than any other conference. Because as soon as a good SEC job comes open he will be gone. 10 to 15 years ago, SEC coaches were leaving for the ACC in basketball.
