McNeese head coach Will Wade has reportedly reached an agreement to become the next head coach at North Carolina State.
Wade has McNeese in the NCAA Tournament as a No. 11 seed this week. The NC State news is expected to be made official after McNeese’s season ends.
Here is an excerpt from ESPN:
Wade acknowledged Wednesday he’s had contact with the Wolfpack regarding its head coaching position.
“There’s no need to hide it,” Wade said. “The guys are reading it on social media. It’s no secret and I’m not going to ask them to do something I’m not willing to do. It’s no good if you don’t address it and if you sit there and B.S. ’em. They know. They can read right through the B.S. So you might as well just [say] ‘This is what it is.'”
Wade has spent the past two seasons at McNeese, winning 57 games and going 36-2 in conference play, winning back-to-back regular-season and conference tournament titles.
From my sources: NC State has reached an agreement with Will Wade to be its next men's basketball coach.
There is still the matter of finalizing the deal, and that McNeese is playing in the NCAA tournament, but plans are in place to move quickly when McNeese's season ends
