An alligator dish may have helped[/URL] "We turned the page on our program tonight," Wade said after the win over Michigan. "Helps having a point guard like him. [B]He's got the keys to the car."[/B] "Our pitch to Trey was, 'We need a point guard,'" Wade said this week. "I told him, 'If you want to do something special, come to a place where you can turn around a program that hasn't been winning.'" "This guy came into the picture," he said laughing. "I knew who he was. I knew he coached at Chattanooga and at VCU. But other than that, no. I just knew he was a guru of basketball and knew what he was doing." But more important than that, Wade reminded Waters of something very close to home. In fact, in his home. "He reminded me of my father," Waters said. That would be Edward Waters, who controls the keys to the cars and taught his son, who is one of six boys, a valuable lesson. "He forces you to be accountable," Waters said of dad and his new coach. "He makes sure everything is all right, set in place for you.[B] And just overall, he just reminds me of my dad. That's why I really came here."[/B] [/QUOTE]
