That’s a deflection and you’re also making false statements about offenses. If you were involved with basketball for 30 years like you claim you should know what iso ball is and isn’t.
Not making false statements about anything. I asked a question that has yet to be answered. Is McMahons offense his first year at LSU the same as it was at Murray State??

Iso basketball is definitely not a motion “swing” offense.
Also, we didn’t run a lot of the sets they ran at Murray State. We didn’t have the personnel. Transfers didn’t pan out, definitely on MM. Our best players Williams and Fountain, also big men. MM likes to run 3 guards and 2 forwards. Because we were not guard heavy and couldn’t run a 4 out offense, we had to fit it around what we had. Which is also why Phillips didn’t fit in to the offense with KJ there. The whole offense had to be changed to fit what we had. Once we can get some shooters, we will be ok.

We are dead last in the SEC
Solid observation
MM is bad, dude.

You keep deflecting. You’re the one who said we ran ISO ball under the last coach which is completely false. And I just provided visual evidence that we’re running the same thing he ran last year at Murray State yet you’re still denying it with an explanation contradictory to facts. We played 3 guards almost the entire season, 6,115 of 6,600 total minutes or 93.7% of the time.

Well clearly your opinion carries significant weight.
it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to talk and remove all doubt.

I’d reserve judgment until next year

No more than a page back. Typical Wade hater just making things up. Provided visual evidence for him, gave stats and facts but it’s the same old contrived narrative > reality with these types.

with his 1 on 1 isolation everyone standing around offense would’ve generated more wins with the same players??? You’re high.

It's not like it was in the pre transfer portal days where a new coach generally inherited a bad roster and his only means of quick improvement was a few JUCO players or HS freshman. So if this was a "bad" roster, the blame for it logically falls at the feet of the person who built the roster...McMahon.
Really no excuse to have a record this bad in this day and age with the transfer portal at LSU. Wade built up this program the last few years and he just bulldozed it. Just like you said, he didn’t take over a crap roster that’s been losing for years. He had a blank slate, and this is what he came up with? He’s 100% to blame.

Wade took a blowtorch to the program getting caught in so many violations and leaving zero players, zero recruits, and an NOA for the next guy.
Wade took over a full roster with some talented players. Only brought in 5 guys and didn't have to spend months fielding a team. Really spent more time encouraging some guys to move on.

You just make shite up. Never seen someone fabricate so many delusions.

I’ll give it to you, you are dedicated to defending McMahon at all costs.
Wade took over a roster that had just gone 10-21 (2-16). A roster whose arse he personally kicked in the Bahamas.
Wade had Reath, a very average Epps, a (then) unpolished Mays, and that was pretty much it.
He brought in a game changer in Waters and got the absolute most out of a group that was so talented they we projected to finish last in the SEC.
But yep, it’s not McMahon’s fault he was horrible with a roster HE built. So either he’s a terrible major conf coach or a terrible major conf roster builder.

He doesn’t give a rip about McMahon. This is someone who for years claimed Wade was a terrible coach and when McMahon was hired then signed his recruits and transfers claimed he was going to show LSU fans what real coaching was. He was dead wrong of course and now looks like a fool so he’s not really making excuses for McMahon, he’s making them for himself and doubling down on stupid.

Our guys don't seem to do any of that, they drive wildly off of one foot and fling balls that if lucky maybe touch the rim.

Claims to know basketball while simultaneously parroting the same stupid tropes as people that routinely demonstrate they don’t know basketball.

You thought Darius days made a mistake returning to lsu for his senior year instead of transferring to a different school. Stop pretending you know anything about basketball.
