In response to rbg
Also, in Coach McLaughlin's first year, the team was ranked #280 at KenPom with 4 games to go (ending at #305). Last year, they were at #278 with 4 games to go (finishing at #299). This year, they are at #192. That's a pretty big jump, especially given the start of last season.
I agree that the team is showing progress under McLaughlin's tenure. But at some point, "progress" has to become "wins."
Also, he mostly enjoyed success at his prior stops. I presume that he mostly had talent that was better than the opponents in those places. I don't think he has tons of experience trying to scheme up ways to beat teams with better athletes like he's had to do in Hanover (at least thus far).
