LSU has fired men’s basketball coach Will Wade, and released the notice of allegations it received from the NCAA earlier this month. Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports broke the news, which was confirmed by Sports Illustrated ahead of LSU’s announcement.
Rothstein reports Kevin Nickelberry will be the interim head coach for the Tigers.
LSU president William F. Tate IV and director of athletics Scott Woodward confirmed the news in a letter to the fanbase published on Saturday.
“Today, we informed Will Wade that he has been terminated for cause, pursuant to the provisions of his amended employment agreement as the Men’s Basketball Head Coach at LSU,” Tate said.
