No buddy, you don’t get to misrepresent what I said then claim I’m manipulating things by correcting you. And there are different sets, using one that I didn’t to explain yourself is moot. Sutton isn’t hurt, you continue with that fairy tale and your description of his skill set is incorrect which is why you don’t understand what I’m saying even though it was shown to you yesterday.


I didn’t misrepresent what you said, you tried to respond I said it was ineffective to use a high post set. I did not say that. Go back and look.

Sutton was hurt. I didn’t say he’s hurt right now. Do you not remember the brace he was wearing and him being in discomfort a few games ago? You can do your little bs to everyone else on this board, but that little manipulation bs don’t work on me. As much as you and others love to ridicule someone on a message board I find it funny, because I’ve built a legacy around here that is very well known. I don’t need a message board to validate what I’ve accomplished for basketball in this area, or for my kids for that matter. I am a proud little dribblers coach for my kids. You’ll be more familiar with them here in a few years if you haven’t spontaneously combusted by then. Could care less how anyone feels about it.

Not to mention went on the road and beat UK in Rupp. That team beat every single team in the conference in year 2 and won more SEC games in one season than MM has in his whole 4 year career here. The two cannot even be compared. I am glad we won yesterday, but we are still 1-4 in conference which is terrible.

First off you responded to me so you can drop that lie. Secondly he made one gesture after a block, early vs ATM signaling his arm had discomfort but there’s been no injury. He’s played over 30min per game and is putting up about 10 shots per game in SEC play which is on par for his season averages so cut that BS excuse. Your attempt at big leaguing also doesn’t change the facts.

You also continue to allege that I said put Sutton and Nwoko in a high low game.. I have not, isolating or starting a set with Sutton operating where he’s most comfortable isn’t specifically saying put him in high low. You can isolate him on one side in the pinch post, you can isolate him on the elbow or you can do what we did yesterday which is put him at the 4 where your offense will naturally have him in those positions.

To be fair and factual I’ll give u 2 facts
Record 15-45 SEC
Every team goes through injuries We just keep up with our own. Facts
He’s the worst coach in the SEC of all time in a 4yr stretch- and is still making 3.1mill$ will have collected 12.1mill
so far and a buyout in play for 3 more years. I think the administration of LSU has been more than fair. While you’re checking out injuries of other schools see which Coach has a worse record still coaching fair enough.

That’s the thing with excuse making, after a certain point you’re just pushing double standards.

To be fair, there has been an excuse for this coach every year as to what could be. It’s time to move on.

It’s because you have different priorities. Like you said you just want to win, the people who position themselves as opposed to you only want Mcmahon praised or absolved. The winning is inconsequential to them.
It really disheartens me that I watch almost every game, every season, every coach, and I’m the a-hole.

I’m pretty sure McMahon is making 2.9 mil this year. Making him either the lowest, or second lowest paid coach in the SEC (depending on vandy’s HC salary). So maybe LSU is getting what they paid for.

Mats, that’s weak. 7 year guaranteed, 4 years ago. He was as not the lowest paid SEC MBB coach at hiring.

We’re grossly overpaying for that 15-44 SEC record.

just saying we should get someone worth being paid a league average.

Even when he was hired, his annual salary was near the bottom.

You’re not, I don’t want to bring up the origins of that group so I won’t but you’re good, the fans who will be around after this crap know it.

He’s a top 50 paid coach nationally. Are the results reflecting that?

They 50 in the net rankings.
I would say a coach would normally get an extension with a pay bump in a situation where the head coach is making considerably less than most of his peers, we all know that’s not in the works, and perhaps they should consider a coach worth the league average.

Right so you didn’t see the cupping marks there too last night? Why is he rehabbing it if he’s not or hasn’t been hurt? I don’t need to attempt to big league a message board. Read what I said, you based your entire argument off of something you thought I said. In fact, I didn’t say anything about a high post offense, plus I gave you reasoning why it isn’t a good idea and man and you have yet to tell me why you think it is. Then you go off about how I’m somehow defending MM when the first thing I said is how underwhelming this year has been for him. It’s comical what you and others do on this board.

Yea everything in that post is a fabrication. Not a single attempted point is true.

Pinch post is fine for him when he’s flashing there from the perimeter like last night but you don’t want him settling there when he is so good off the dribble, can shoot and is an effective roll man. It limits him in my opinion.

My only point was I personally think we were protecting him rather than mismanaging him. I know you frickers think everything MM does is wrong, but he’s not completely stupid. He was very successful before he got here, like it or not. We can very much win 7-8 more SEC games if we get Thomas back and maybe even a game or 2 in the SEC tournament.
