VCU Introduces Former Mocs Basketball Coach Will Wade
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) – New VCU men’s basketball coach Will Wade says not much will change about the Rams’ playing style.
Wade was introduced as the 11th coach in school history at a pep rally Tuesday. Wade replaces Shaka Smart, who left to take the Texas basketball job.
The 32-year-old Wade was a four-year assistant on Smart’s staff. He spent the past two seasons as the head coach at Chattanooga.
At Chattanooga, he created a playing style he called "chaos," which was his version of VCU trademarked "havoc" style with his personal spins.
He says of VCU: "Havoc still lives here."
Wade says his job is to continue to elevate VCU "until we are at the Final Four and we win the thing."
The school says terms of his contract are not finalized.
