Wade could have stayed at his old job and gone straight to a LSU type job. I consider this a low character move unless something went on that made Wade really unhappy. Sure, it is his right but that doesn't mean everyone has to accept it and wish him well.

I understand/agree that they have a right to be angry, but the crazy part of their fanbase has gone way over the top. Even the guy who runs vcuramnation.com and is usually very fair and reasonable wrote an article the other day basically saying VCU is the Gonzaga of the East and he went absolutely nuts on Wade on twitter last night.

The players finding out on twitter like the rest of the world is a bad. My bet is that Wade/LSU were planning an announcement today, and that Wade probably wanted to have a meeting with the players this morning. The problem with that is that guys like Goodman/Rothstein are going to find out and release the info. If a coach is going to leave they have to call a meeting with their current players as soon as they decide to leave otherwise it's going to get out.
