Will Wade led his 2021 Tigers to the championship game of the SEC Tournament in Nashville and an 8-seed in the 2021 NCAA Tournament. He was removed as a coach on March 12, 2022, after further reports of recruiting violations.
On August 25, 2020, reports surfaced that the investigation into the numerous, alleged, recruiting violations by Wade is ongoing, and headed to an independent panel. Two separate NCAA committees have referred LSU’s case to the IARP (Independent Accountability Resolution Process, a system formed in response to a Condoleezza Rice-led commission on college basketball.)
Should this panel issue a formal ‘notice of allegations’ to LSU as a result of this investigation, that would put an end to the 3 year, highly controversial, tenure of Wade, based on the renegotiated contract of 2019.
Will is married to a pretty woman named Lauren. The duo first met in December 2011 and they tied the knot in August 2014. They welcomed their first child, a beautiful daughter Caroline Elizabeth in April 2015. She is now 7 years old.
