Wade is a Southern guy. He's from Nashville, went to Clemson, was a GA at Clemson then coached at VCU, UTC and back to VCU. However, most of his ties are definitely the Eastern part of the Region.

Either way, stuff these days in college basketball is so national with camps, teams, shoe leagues......I don't think it matters nearly as much.

Wade is highly thought of by a lot of folks so I'm guessing he'll do a good job. However, while Chattanooga was coming off 2 bad seasons, they are a historically good basketball program that had been pretty solid just before the 2 year downturn. And, of course, VCU has been solid for more than a decade now (and historically).

Seems like a solid, cheaper end hire, which is basically what most expected. Could definitely have done much worse.
