LSU basketball received hardly a slap on the wrist from the NCAA. Anyone with a brain knew they LSU sacrificed Wade in order to receive light punishment for football and basketball. With Wade gone, LSU basketball was free of any “dark cloud”. McMahon’s failure in year one is on him.
But yes, we did take a step forward this season.

It didn't matter what McMahon said, he could not guarantee them they would be eligible for the NCAA tournament the next two years once the NCAA violations were released. Since the NCAA had just changed the transfer rules to allow eligibility without sitting out a year it was impossible to keep most of them.

Sure he could’ve because he did know better. Everyone being honest knew better.

I am again asking you which of the coaches listed inherited a worse situation than McMahon.

Fact is MM couldn’t get the to stay. Most likely because of how fat Scott let the team find out.

I’m not going to pretend to know, but I think it’s a possibility that it is easier to convince player that you already have a connection with and have coached to play for you rather than a player you have no connection with.

MM showed improvement this year, I think most of us can agree on that.
Now it’s time to show what he’s got. It’s NCAA Tourney or bust next year as far as I’m conferenced. Idk why so many take issue with that, it should not take 5 years to rebuild a program to the point of least earning a low seed.

Why does it seem like McMahon is disliked as a coach? Why are most things posted that are positive downvoted?

There are fricking assholes on this board with junior high mentalities who love to flame.

Yea, asking the team to be in the big dance in a 6-7 bid league in year 3 isn’t unreasonable.
He had horrendous first year no matter what excuses we want to use for him. He had a dreadful start to this year but managed to improve and look much better in sec play.
Now it’s time make the tourny.
Of course he has no pressure next year because LSU isn’t going to take basketball seriously. He can miss the tourny next year and probably even year 4 before our AD puts any heat on.

Watching Will Wade’s teams were fun. He was a good coach here. I wanted him to stay. His firing seemed like an overreaction by Woodward, but that has nothing to do with McMahon. I am trying to be objective with McMahon.

There is a sizable portion on LSU "fans" on here that will never get over Will Wade being gone.
They are fun to poke.

The only thing he should be compared to Wade in is can he get us Wade results. So far that’s been a no.
I don’t see how anyone could think anything other than the big dance in year 3 is acceptable

Agreed, I have no problem with that. That is totally fair. Next year is make or break for him.

You can’t listen to certain posters because they’re always being disingenuous about why McMahon is criticized. They’ll tell it’s it’s all because of “Wade loyalist” and while there are a couple at most that isn’t it. You can go back to the post history and see Wade being criticized when he fricked up as well. You’ll see us bitching about him playing too small, the defense for multiple seasons, relying on analytics when situational basketball dictated otherwise, roster construction at times. So this silly game they play where they try to paint people as good or evil is just not true. McMahon’s teams have underachieved because of bad coaching in the areas of defensive fundamentals, rebounding, free throws, bad situational awareness, personnel choices and lack of adjustments. It has zero to do with love or hate.

What difference did it make? We weren't qualifying for any tournaments. (It's still in doubt after three seasons.) What has he got/shown to future recruits? A good salesman/recruiter should have be able to convince them to stay.
Curious. What would you sell them on today?
