Well, it's actually quite simple. Despite multiple reports that Wade accepted the NC State job, the deal hasn't been made official. Meaning Wade is still the coach of the Cowboys — and likely will be until about an hour after his team's tournament run ends.

McNeese coach Will Wade has a signed six-year deal to take over as N.C. State's next coach, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Saturday. The person spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the school hasn't publicly discussed its coaching search.
