LSU Tigers head basketball coach Will Wade spent the first five years of his collegiate basketball career as a Clemson Tiger.
Wade was a student manager for the Tigers’ basketball team from 2002-05. He then spent a season as a graduate assistant, followed by a season as Clemson’s director of basketball operations.
Suffice it to say, Clemson is an important part of who Wade is as a coach and as a person.
But after his comments on Monday, he probably won’t be welcomed back to Clemson anytime soon.
At the end of Wade’s press conference on Monday, he was asked who he will be cheering for when LSU takes on Clemson in the College Football Playoff title game on January 11.
