He’s not “so good off the dribble” which is why you have to start him inside the perimeter if you’re calling his number specifically. You seem to have trouble differentiating between a quick set and our normal offenses but they’re not the same thing and I’m not calling for an overhaul of the offense. And you’re back to doing what you claim you don’t do which is defending McMahon and his 15-44 SEC record as if it’s great. You’re truly a special kind of delusional.

Don’t be a time traveler. A basketball season has ups and down, injuries, maybe what could be called player epiphanies. The team is pretty good, especially if dj is healthy. Seems like Nwoko and miller are transferable without collapse, that’s a shock. Reece, thomas, king, mck, and Mosley were the only guard coming into the year. Enjoy the year, dont be a know it all.

With McMahon as the head coach, absolutely not.

Mid Major McMahon couldn't coach a 5th grade girls team at Fatima to the championship

Exhibit A

Do you see how the DHO sets up his game? He's very good off the dribble and again, I'm not sure what games you watch. This is how you get him going. Do you see how the court is spaced? This is what sets up his outside game as well as that shot from the corner. Pinch post does nothing but take away his best trait. It's fine if you disagree.


My philosophy is always an inside out approach, but you get him going by letting him start at the perimeter and use his quickness to finish in the paint. That sets up the rest of his game. This isn't Omaha though, so if you're wanting him to start at the "pinch post" to get himself going, it's not very ideal right now in conference play. Maybe against inferior competition like we started against. I think we both agree he's not best sitting in corners, I just disagree with you.

Not defending any record, as stated twice already. Not sure where you get some of this stuff from. People can have other opinions, they don't have to have yours it's ok.

Oh look, here's another.

Let's see how you try to manipulate and say how what I'm saying isn't factual.

I think 3-2 was certainly doable. I don't think we win @Vandy regardless. I think we work better against TAMU's Bucky Ball press for certain with DJ. USCe at home was just depressing, I don't feel like the team really showed up, so I don't know.

The fact that this thread even exists shows how lousy of a coach McMahon is.

Can’t wait until the program turns the page on this cruel joke it played on the fans.

I said it yesterday or soon after the game, that if we win the game, they're all going to come crawling out.

They did exactly that.

I can't even enjoy a win, bro. You get the gamut - CoachMc is X's and O's without any evidence, Hire Wade! Fire Wade! Streetball!

If I hadn't watched and been passionate about LSU basketball since a young kid, this shite would be funny seeing all us crazies reacting.

If LSU doesn't blow the Kentucky game, I think you'd actually have a reasonable (minimal) amount of optimism under the assumption Thomas was getting close to returning.

Louisiana? Interesting.

Minimize without actually having a conversation about why you disagree.. It's standard for you. The "you don't know shite" takes are getting old man. I wish I had the time or the desire to break the film down more for you to understand, but it's just not that important because you're not looking to learn anything, your mind is already made up. Good luck.

Regardless of the MK vs Biddy Ball slap fight, this is the thing.

You win UK and USCe / without DJ.

Now you go into @UF @Ark this week with room. Then you go back home for a very winnable MSU.

Can we have a do-over?

You sound like a female.

Engage in the discussion, talk basketball, or I'll move around. I've given you several examples of why I disagree with you. The only thing you can say to it is some bs as usual. I commend you on your attempt to talk basketball though, it lasted a bit, and then now it's back to the same old bs.

He’s just mad I was right about Sutton which is weird because it was a major reason for the win but when you see everything as an attack on McMahon I guess you have to get upset about wins too.

No you haven’t, you’ve created some straw men and that’s all you’ve done.

If your such a legend and have this great legacy around there how come your not coaching college basketball instead of the little dribblers. Which I'm sure any parent that's played high school basketball can coach. MM's record is all on him he's in charge of everything that has to do with men's basketball at LSU,and face it he has failed miserably his record speaks for itself 15-45 in the SEC. After nearly 4 years,your pd.to win games not keep them close and lose!
