Definitely.

Woodward is throwing an NIL hail Mary to save his mistake (it won’t)

St Mary's wins games because of the system they run. They can't take you off the dribble. They are not even that great from distance. Individually, they aren't very good, but as a team, they are formidable.


If St. Mary's played LSU's SEC schedule this year, they would have gotten dusted and probably not even made the NCAA tourney. CBB has a lot of nuance. It's not football.

Wasn’t McMahon pretty successful at Murray St?
In comparison to the previous 30 years of Murray State basketball, he was arguably their worst coach, with both a losing season and a .500 season. He was their first coach to have a losing season in those 30 years. Murray State made McMahon, not the other way around.

Even after getting bounced from the tourney, St. Mary's has a Kenpom of 26. LSU is 90.

If LSU played St. Mary's schedule under CoachMc, they wouldn't have made the tourney either.

I’d say St. Mary’s is better than Vandy or Oklahoma

Even worse, a lot of the quality candidates available this cycle are changing schools now, which means they won't be available after next season.

Will Wade from McNeese to NC State
Sean Miller from Xavier to Texas
Nico Medved from Colorado State to Minnesota
Ben McCollum from Drake to Iowa
Ryan Odom from VCU to Virginia

Unless Woody thinks he can find another Buzz Williams who will leave a power conference for LSU, the list of quality candidates might not be nearly as good next season.

Woodward has been bedeviled by McMahon’s wizardry. There can be no other explanation for the worse hire in the last 50 years

He's literally the winningest active D1 coach. By, like, a lot.

now he has no pressure to rehire WW, has a year to scour through coaches for 26. If hell freezes over, pigs fly, and somehow McLoser wins something all the better, but he doesn’t have to deal with the WW situation. So he contrives the Need more NIL scam, Wade gets hired, and his plan has worked so far.


This is what I think very strongly is the reality.

He was as successful with Ja Morant as Curly Hallman was with Brett Favre.
