Wade hired by McNeese a year after LSU firing amid probe

Will Wade, who was fired last year by LSU because of alleged recruiting violations, has been hired as head men's basketball coach at McNeese State.

The hiring of Wade was announced by athletic director Heath Schroyer on Sunday, just days after former Cowboys coach John Aiken was fired following his second season.

“I will not make excuses for why we can’t win and win big. Quite frankly, there is no excuse,” Schroyer said. “The days of us celebrating making conference tournaments or accepting mediocrity in all of our sports, let alone in basketball, are over.”
