re: Did McMahon indicate why Ward didn’t play last night?

LOL. Why do people sit here and support a coach who no longer coaches here? See I can do it too.Schmuck.

Is it?

I understand the affinity for Wade. For the better part of 5 years LSU basketball was competitive. They won an SEC championship and (but for the 2020 cancellation) would have reached the NCAA Tournament four straight seasons. The first time that happened since 1990-1993 (30 years ago). Now, being an LSU fan means you have to suffer through watching a program that is 6-22 in its last (nearly) 30 SEC games. One where (at the moment) some will gleefully celebrate a losing SEC record as "success" and moral victories as if they were actual victories. All while watching the former coach, who most fans did not want to see fired, at a different school a few hours down the road have immediate success at a program that has had very little in its history.

Wade is not coming back, so the longing for that reunion is a bit ridiculous. But while I think most would simply prefer just for LSU to be a good basketball program again, I understand why some continue to harbor frustration watching the current state of the program when they feel it didn't have to be this way.

Skip Bertman retired to end that era of great success in baseball. Saban chose to leave LSU for the NFL. There was nothing the school/fans could do to prevent that. Every other coach eventually reached the point where the fanbase was happy to see them go. Wade is the only HC in recent memory that was forced to leave against the wishes of the fanbase. That's why this situation is different.

bro yall turned this thread into a shite show.

Anyways I was worried it was something more. He looked healthy. Wonder what was hurting. Usually you can tell leg injury.

He has a great Family, and……and…….
………has a great family. He’s a great guy oh that’s right you said that……
He has a great family.

t was clearly stated on the broadcast he was out due to an undisclosed injury. In fact, they said it twice

Well, since I mute the TV talking heads and listen to Blair & Brady, I missed those comments. Glad to know that it wasn’t just a situation where he was in the doghouse or academically ineligible.

He actually has players moving on offense

Terrific! It's doesn't lead to much besides turnovers and inefficiency. Forget Wade. McMahon's offenses have been significantly OBJECTIVELY worse than Johnny Jones's offenses.

run inbounds plays instead of everyone standing in the same spot for 5 seconds.

And how often is LSU scoring off of any of those plays? Hardly ever.

If everyone's claims that McMahon is a "better x's and o's coach" is premised on his team's offensive execution then they are SEVERELY misguided. His offenses have been terrible at LSU, and to somehow suggest they are better than Wade's because they "look pretty" is ridiculous. For all of the asinine "streetball" claims, in 3 of his 5 years LSU had nationally elite offenses (top 15). Two of which were in the top 5 nationally. That absolutely does not happen by just letting guys do whatever the hell they want.

If McMahon deserves any bit of coaching credit it is on the defensive side of the ball where LSU has been solid this season. The irony is that his defensive approach is largely the same as Wade's was...and emphasis on creating deflections/turnovers. That approach is pretty good, when you have guys who have great anticipation and the ability to get steals (see Wright, Williams, and Hannibal on this team). But it is awful when you don't (see last season.

Except for his 1st year (with Tremont Waters), every other year, Wade had at least 2 future NBA players.

He had 2 future NBA players his 1st year too.

The excuses will never end as shown in this thread where they’re already making em for next season. Discussing hoops with these types is a waste of time.

As usual the truth triggers you.

You are a contradiction.

If you pull for LSU, then why do you celebrate the present state of the program.
Meanwhile ignore the fact we were in the tourney every year Wade was HC.

If not for Woke Woody and Tate, we would be looking forward to another tourney appearance, instead of wishing for a winning season.

And you call others "Weird".
