Matt’s McMahon’s LSU men’s basketball team at times plays together, plays smart, and plays hard and when it happens, LSU is tough to beat. Unfortunately it’s a team that can’t keep it going, a team that can’t resist being selfish and going back to bad habits.

Matt clearly showed his frustration after the Alabama loss, a game LSU could have played much better in and won. Matt noted of his players performance “it was poor, poor just poor shot selection” Matt McMahon is a good coach, but it takes more than that to get a team to listen to coaching and continuously improve. Unlike Kim Mulkey who knows how to be tough and get a team’s attention to keep it improving.

Based on what exactly?

If he can't get a team to "listen to coaching" or continuously improve, then doesn't that suggest he's NOT a good coach?

He should be frustrated with his dumb gameplan of playing at a fast pace with a more talented team who wants to get up and down

Do you watch the games? LSU isn’t tough to beat and zero shot of beating Bama no matter how they played.

CMM trying to beat Bama at their own game twice is about as dumb as you can get. They changed nothing in the game plan from the first game.

McMahon’s teams so far in nearly two years don’t do the fundamental things in basketball that produce winning. Turnovers, rebounding, shot selection, defense and bad situational basketball. Regardless of talent these things aren’t done so even when you’re even on talent or have slightly more you’re going to lose too many of those games.

Not a sign of good coaching.

Not a sign of good coaching. Kim is a great coach.

MM has not shown that he is a good coach at LSU. His teams quit on him. He’s got players in his “doghouse,” and he cant get the best out of his team.

He should learn how to change defenses up to change the pace of play from CKM

The continuous apologies made for Matt McMahon are so strange.

Unfortunately a lot of that poor shot selection came from a 5th year senior who needs to break out of the funk he has been in and show more leadership instead of acting like a child on the sideline.

As for Mulkey, she has one of the most talented rosters in college basketball.

We need more talent. Plain and simple. Now that the sanctions have been imposed let’s see what he can do. The sanctions didn’t come down until late June of 23. Coach’s hands have not only been tied but completely handcuffed

Will Wade gone, let it go!!! He's not coming back. He left McMahon with nothing but a mess.
