re: Who here actually thinks Coach MM is a good basketball coach ?

In bigtime college basketball, good coaching starts with bringing in top talent. If you do not start there, you cannot be a good head coach, IMO.

Now, after you get good talent, you need to develop them, coach them up, and motivate them.

As of Feb 10, 2024, I have not seen CMM do any of these things in an above average manner. But as I have posted here many times, I intend to give CMM three full seasons before making a final judgment. March, 2025 will tell the tale for me.

What exactly the situation? Explain

This guy does

I agree George but even if we did not have that intention the administration does, so the point is moot really. I can only hope and do hope that CMM proves all the naysayers wrong....and I'm probably a lean toward a naysayer so I hope he proves me wrong.

Because it’s all vague excuse making. Again you don’t understated why we’re not winning so you fall back on talking points that were invented here by likeminded excuse makers. Anything besides the reasons we’re underachieving doesn’t have merit.

Ultimately a coach at this level of college or NBA is judged by their wins and losses. Obviously more goes into being a successful coach than knowing basketball.
I think McMahon has actually had some hits thus far in his recruiting. Ward, Reed, and Williams have all been good players. All have continued to improve. That’s a good sign, however, the one and done type players we saw come through with wade and through other top schools don’t seem interested. The way McMahon is building the program doesn’t appear to be for immediate success. So it all really depends on the extent of the players he recruits continued development. Which kind of sucks for us and the university because it takes 3-4 years to see if the time and money were wasted.

Not sure if MK likes anything regarding LSU Les, but I’ll certainly hat tip to his passion and extreme want to argue for hours on end.

Baker just went for 22 in a half vs Bama. Name some other players who’ve done that this season I’ll wait…. Stop with the no talent stuff, there isn’t a single argument that supports it.

Yep and Willy wade has a duct tape transfer team . Who will win their conference and make the tourney. Before you say it’s mcnees state they have some very solid wins

Huh? They don't have quality wins. And they lost to SELA in one of two meetings. McNeese State also had between the 250th and 295th toughest schedule in the country depending on which site you go by. McNeese won't make the NCAA tournament without winning the Southland Conference tourney. Joe Girardi has McNeese in as the Automatic Qualifier (assuming winning the SC tourney). The current 2nd place team isn't in his field. McNeese better win the SC tourney or they are NIT bound.
