What is wrong with MBB?

So much that I can't help but wonder 1) is our talent and athleticism really this bad, or 2) is MM a miserable coach?
~9:30 2H we dribble, and dribble, and dribble without setting a real pick and get down to 6 secs on shot clock and NOT ONE F*EM PLAYER SITTING ON TEH BENCH GOT UP, STARTING SHOUTING, OR ANYTHING TO LET SOMEONE KNOW that the shot clock was expiring. MM was yelling, I guess about that(couldn't hear on TV) but no one did anything about getting a decent shot.
We let more balls pass through our hands than a 6 y.o. team in the BREC league. Just no athleticism!
On D, we move to/look ;where the ball IS- NOT WHERE IT IS ABOUT TO BE therefore we NEVER successfully defend a fast break or a hard move to the basket.
And geez, can someone in P & G shoot the ball!
We are scared to take it to the hole cause we haven't heard of a JUMP STOP to let a defender go by or a head and shoulder fake to get a clear look over a taller defender. Just go up and either get it blocked(have we had the most blocks in the SEC?) or throw up a crappy shot so quickly cause we are scared of getting it slammed.
I'm tired of this. Been a "wait and see what MM can do" guy but not sure we can wait any longer to find someone who can recruit real players and coach them as well.
And don't give me the Jalen Reed deal. I know he would help inside but we have NO TOUGHNESS around the rim.

Attitude starts at the top and we have a coach that has zero emotion or pulse.
We might as well have daddy Dale out there

Getting absolutely abused in the paint. Zero personnel changes or defensive adjustments. Derek Fountain needs to learn how to put the fries in the bag he is horrid!

The entire staff is absolute garbage. Every one of them has to be replaced.

Would you believe me if I told 2 of our assistants got invited to a future head coaches luncheon?

I’d say one of those guys got invited simply because he or his agent knew somebody.
David Patrick is a failed head coach at multiple schools.

This happens EVERY game. I paid attention to it at the end of the 1st half at Texas bc I wanted to see if they had a play drawn up or had changed the Habit. Nope bring the ball up the court with about a 2-3 second differential and they just stand there dribbling til they throw up an off balance low percentage 3pt shot.

It's not a good team with 2 of the Top 4ish players not playing

This has been IMHO the biggest problem the last two plus years and I believe it adversely affects every aspect of our game outside free throw shooting.
I could explain in detail on each aspect as to why, but I have many times before so I won't bore everyone.
