You mean he is jogging without a shirt on and hanging out in bars with fake blondes?...
Carter who only shot 39% will be one of our primary offensive weapons? Wow, another long season if that is the case. ...
Ability to shoot deep threes translates to any league. The question is whether McMahon can devise an offense that both let's him shoot those threes and gets him free to shoot them. At 5'11" he needs some screens and quick passes to get him open. ...

You know it must be a tough job to be one of these evaluators of high school talent. They must rate hundreds of players all over the country. I guess they have to figure in things like athletic talent, height, weight, skills, mental attitude and who knows what else. Then they give them 1 to 5 stars,...
[quote]Everyone wins when they stay another year IMO. [/quote]How can you say this when you have no idea of who could be playing in their place. At some point they have to move on and CKM has to start rebuilding. There is enough of a foundation plus a lot of promising new and returning from inju...

[quote]The success starts building on itself. [/quote]Absolutely, and failure also builds on itself. That's why if McMahon doesn't do it next year he probably won't ever because he has no success to build on. Breaking even in the SEC is not success. Finishing in the top five and making the tournam...

[quote]So who is the right coach at the right time??[/quote]I wish I knew. That is the job of our great and exalted AD Mr. Woodward. How much time did he really spend over the three years where Wade's job was in jeopardy looking at possible replacements? What was his criteria,? Did he take into acco...

[quote](And the fact that you thought the players I mentioned played prior to integration makes your claims on those players illegitimate and absurd.)

My point by mentioning our all time greats was to show that our basketball program is only known because of those players. They were the peaks but the valleys have been much more prominent. The very plain fact is that we do not have a tradition of winning basketball. I am a very old man and have bee...

re: The McMahon haters

Posted by Tom Bronco on 3/22/24 at 11:41 am
Once and for all. We don't hate McMahon, we don't hate the players. They all seem to be good human beings, probably much better than I am. What we hate is LOSING. McMahon is just the wrong coach for us. For LSU basketball to succeed we need a dynamic, charismatic coach who can get the fans, the pla...

The McMahon defenders can talk all they want about him coming into a very bad situation and that is why he has not produced. All of that is true but none of it addresses the fact that he was the wrong coach at the wrong time. We needed a shark to bring us back to the promised land after letting one ...

You are listing players who played in the 1970s. Most of them played basketball when the SEC was still segregated. Name me some players in the last 10 years who we had a realistic chance of recruiting for LSU who played high school basketball in Louisiana. ...

Ffirst of all we are not an above caliber basketball program. We never have been and probably never will be. Despite having Bob Petit, Pete Maravich, O'Neal, and Chris Jackson, we have never been a consistent winner, especially in the last 25 years with a few exceptions. Wade was the best we could e...
[quote]Would be cool to see a football/basketball guy [/quote]That's not happening at any school ever!!

After that he was just another in a long line of coaches that either couldn't bring in good players are who didn't know wha...

Best interview ever. Really gets down to the nitty gritty. Wade talks to McMahon and tries to help him. https://youtu.be/dklQj_nE-90?feature=shared ...
