The Bottom Line

Will Wade left NC State to coach LSU following Matt McMahon's firing.

AI Summary

Will Wade is leaving NC State to become LSU's head basketball coach after the Tigers fired Matt McMahon. Wade previously coached at LSU from 2017 to 2021 before taking the NC State job, making this a return to a program where he had established early success. LSU's decision to move on from McMahon comes as the program seeks to rebuild after underperforming in recent seasons. Wade's hiring marks the Tigers' attempt to recapture the momentum from his earlier tenure while giving him a second opportunity to lead the program at a higher level. The move reunites Wade with an SEC power program where he had begun to develop a competitive roster before his initial departure.

US democracy has settled into diminished state, experts find

<p>Bright Line Watch researchers see stabilization in democratic health but at lower levels after sharp decline</p><p>The health of American democracy, as measured by those who study it most closely, has settled into a diminished state – stabilizing after a sharp decline last year, but still well below the levels recorded at any point before the start of Donald Trump’s second term, according to a new survey released on Tuesday.</p><p>The findings, by the nonpartisan democracy-tracking project <a href="https://brightlinewatch.org/our-work/">Bright Line Watch</a>, which surveys hundreds of US scholars at American colleges and universities, suggest that the erosion of norms detected after Trump’s return to the White House last year has hardened into a new baseline. The public also holds a dim view of American democracy, the most recent survey found, but are sharply divided along partisan lines over how well the system is functioning.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/202...
