It took less than four minutes for Will Wade’s face to get as red as the shirts that the rowdy NC State fans were donning inside the sold-out Lenovo Center. He wasn’t pleased with a call on the floor, and well, he made sure official Ryan Sassano knew as the first media timeout approached.  Wade, who was looking to make a statement in his Wolfpack debut via a 114-66 win over NC Central on Monday night, continued to ride the officiating crew when he felt like it was needed. It didn’t matter if it was a 10-point game or a 55-point advantage in the second half, Wade appeared to be coaching as if the Pack was playing for a trip to the Final Four in its season opener.
