You’re not allowed to ask that question here.

We have to give a coach 8 seasons to get established here. It’s mean bringing up the 23% conference wins.

That’s a very dangerous question to ask around here. Building a solid basketball team takes atleast 6 years according to some

It’s either the Will Wade pipe dream or run this cruel joke out for another season.

I’ve accepted that McMahon will most likely be here next season (only at LSU would this happen but I digress). My question then becomes: what is the loser’s NIL budget going to look like? It should be minimal.

Their coach(Ryan Odom) has a lot of UVA ties. His dad Dave was an assistant at UVA in the 70's and 80's. Ryan grew up in Charlottesville, also was the HC at UMBC when they upset UVA 16 vs. 1. Ryan's also taken Utah St and VCU to NCAA Tourney appearances. Why has UVA been so good in Year 1? Experienced coach, who knows how to get to the NCAA Tourney and win in it.

Any time a coach loses a player to an injury, he automatically gets a pass.

Nah just McMahon, when other coaches have injuries they don’t get to set every record for futility in program history without any responsibility placed on them.

Because Virginia gets that big round ball to go inside that round rim more than the other team when that clock hits 00:00. And this happens for them on numerous occasions seems like.

He brought in 7 studs from the portal, a top 50 frosh, and an international player who is an instant nba prospect.
