I do not care for this particular basketball coach. Your Purdue Boilermakers vs. McNeese State in the round of 32.
Boilers, you know that we start this By The Numbers thing with the head coach’s coaching history, career record, how many times that coach has reached tournaments, et cetera.
I have given grace to opposing coaches who I think are interesting people or who were nice to me in the Atlanta Hawks youth program.
Will Wade is not one of those people. Thinking of that scumbag for more than 15 seconds makes me a little bit angry. Quite a bit, to correct myself.
So I will give fans of the gosh darn Purdue Boilermakers the few career coaching statistics that matter and then jump right to the team’s actual efficiency ratings and whatnot.
Will Wade Crimes Covered Up: Is there a number larger than infinity?
Times Will Wade has been phone tapped by the FBI: Multiple.
Bridges Burned: Too few in my opinion!
