LSU Welcomes Will Wade Back as Men's Head Basketball Coach
Will Wade returns to LSU with a seven-year, $30 million deal aiming to restore the program's success after leading McNeese to two NCAA tournaments.
- On Monday, Louisiana State University introduced Will Wade as the new men's basketball coach, returning him to Baton Rouge for his second stint leading the Tigers program.
- LSU's administration opted to bring back Wade last week, firing head coach Matt McMahon after four seasons; McMahon finished with a 60-70 overall record, struggling in SEC play.
- During his first stint from 2017 to 2022, Wade compiled a 105-51 record and three NCAA tournament appearances before the university fired him in March 2022 for recruiting violations.
- Declaring he has "unfinished chapters," Wade pledged to pursue national championships, stating "You're getting a better coach, a better leader this time around."
- Focusing on the future, the 43-year-old coach plans to construct his staff immediately, stating "We're going to get this program back to the NCAA Tournament" in short order.
