John Wooden couldn’t get anything out of this team. Obviously, McMahon isn’t the answer but until we spend some $$$ on NIL and put effort into bringing in top level talent we are in trouble!

Zero guard olay 2 years in a row …. All hopes hinged on one man … Jalen Cook? Bad. Do better. Horrendous. And we’ve been led to believe Corey chest is a talent? Yet he’s going to redshirt/transfer and can’t find minutes with this outfit? Sad.

McMahon was brought in bc he had a reputation of getting more out of less. This team is more talented than last year's and yet look more dysfunctional. The only reason for that is coaching. Reed and Ward are in their second year under Mcmahon and look as though they have been developed very little. Baker, Stewart, and Wright were all good to very good against high level competition last year, but Mcmahon can't seem to even get the most out of them against mediocre teams. Mcmahon's lineups and rotations have been questionable at best, his in-game adjustments have been non-existent, and most of these players look like they have gotten worse. Sure, he doesn't have a lineup full of five stars, but these bullshite performances are 100% a result of Mcmahon failing as a coach right now.

Yeah Chest redshirting is ridiculous. This isn’t 20 years ago players like him don’t redshirt in CBB.

Disagree on Reed. He is night and day better than last year.
I don't think he's totally being used correctly, but he's improved.

Nothing I've seen in a year and a half tells me that CMM is an SEC level coach.

So who evaluated and recruited the “no talent” team? McMild right? Coaching is more than Xs and Os brotha

The man did not change his expression or unfold his arms for the last 5 minutes of the game when our guys were still hustling and occasionally scoring. He needs to GTFO.

You cannot win consistently without a legitimate PG. They don’t have one. Even then if they just shoot 30% from 3 they have a shot. They had 13 offensive rebounds and only 4 points to show from that effort. Coaching has nothing to do with that. Baker is soft. Needs to be more aggressive going to the goal. Can’t finess over a 7’4” center. Unfortunately this team will go as he goes.

He has signed 6 top 100 recruits and 4 top 50 recruits. It’s time to realize that recruiting isn’t his problem, he’s just a bad coach.
