Was the inverted initials of WW, a significant role in the hiring of MM?

Very meh either way. A complete crap shoot. The whole key is if he can recruit like Wade.
No it isn’t a “meh” hire at all. What a stupid arse statement.

The tFruit thing is so played out.
And was never humorous anyway. Just extremely lame.

You heard about the Aggie alum who got fired from his job at the M&M factory? Got fired because he kept throwing away the W's.

He's a good coach.
But you can never know how these mid-major coaches are going to translate to a bigger job,
Well since the mid-majors beat the big programs, I think the mid-major coaches are a gold mine for great talent. MBB programs are significantly different from football. The talent pull from the blue bloods is so small and the talent available is so great that at any time a David can and will slay a Goliath. That's how a Butler can make the Final Four two years running and send Brad Stevens to the NBA.

Settle down man-LSU will be fine.

I think it is more talent evaluation than recruiting at this point. You need some charismia, to sell your vision to the player, but in the world of NIL EVERYONE can recruit like Wade.
So what becomes important? I would say the top skill for a staff is player development. Showing that players you recruited improved in the areas they needed to to get drafted higher than expected when they signed with you.
I would then put the ability to gameplan and the ability to evaluate talent as the next two most important skills.
Obviously you still have to cover all the "coaching bases" on the staff. In game mgmt, roster mgmt, etc. Still need to make inroads with HS staffs in your core recruiting base(Region/AAU)... but I would say player development, talent evaluation, and gameplanning would be top 3.
Of course I neglected one thing that may be bigger than all of the others. Setting culture. The culture has to be absolute, set from above and so pervasive that even eith heavy roster turnover it persists. Players are going to come and go, in a world with the free transfers, GLeague, and a literal world of alternate paid leagues... players with the talent to play pro are not often going to be around long. NIL may keep a few around longer than they might have before, but outside of some role players who accept pro basketball is not in their future, these kids will do what is best to advance their future.
There is also the matter of facilities, the PMac is a part of this, but I think a bigger part is training facilities. Pro teams have been working with motion capture tech for some time, giving a digital breakdown of players movements and positioning for evaluation and correction of bad habbits. "Shooting Rooms" have started popping up, where a players shooting kenetics are evaluated in real time and corrective actions are relayed.
If you want to pull talent and maybe even keep them past a season, you have to show them that the coaching and resources to improve their game are at least close to what they would have in the G-League.

I think it is a good idea to be realistic and hire someone like this rather than try to get a "big name". At least now recruits and the current team know who is going to be running the program and we can try to retain some of them for next year. That will be this guy's first test. Can he convince any of our current roster to stay. Murray and Reid would be huge if they come back IMO.

The Murray State fans on their blog had nothing but great things to say about CMM. Not at all like the Rant that has a segment with a torch and noose handy anytime a coach loses a game.

Last I heard "big names", don't dress out and win games. Plenty of "non-big names" out there whooping arse on "big name" programs. I just want a coach that's honest, and a good recruiter, motivator and play caller. The rest will fall into place.

Well I don't disagree with anything here.
My point is that big conferences raid mid-majors all the time and it doesn't always work out. You can just never tell if a coach is going to translate to a bigger conference.
I think he will, fwiw. Good coach.
