Awesome recruiting can't even hide him- wow
Didn't LSU miss 6 straight free throws?
Not gonna argue, but missing the ft's is on the players
Will be interesting to see how they do next year with a top 10 class.
Yep- and that's on the players. But that team has collapsed in the last 5 mins all year long.
He might be the 13th worst, but he sure as hell ain't the worst. And recruiting is half (or more) of "coaching" in college basketball.
2 touches for Martin their best player after being up by 15. That's Stains level right there.
Jones can't hold Rick Ray's jock as a floor coach. Rick Ray can't hold Johnny Jones' jock as a recruiter.
The he only idiot here would be you if you can't see the talent discrepancy Jones has had vs Ray. Not to mention Ray beat Jones this year head to head with Bloodman and Endo playing during the game. That tells anyone with an intelligence level past jello who the better coach is
Doesn't really matter, basketball is the sport where recruiting is the most important thing. Its probably at least 75% of the job. Ray is a pretty good floor coach at least defensively and maybe he is alright offensively if he had better talent (I don't really know) but it absolutely doesn't matter if you don't have the players. For all your years of calling Stans "The Recruiter" it was always ironic to me because THAT should be at the top of the list of what you look for in a college basketball coach. No, it doesn't mean a guy shouldn't be able to be at least a decent floor coach or be able to keep control of his program but it all starts with recruiting ability. If you don't have that its over before it starts and is where we are at right now, we just don't have the horses.
I'm not going to comment on where Jones ranks among SEC coaches, but I have very little doubt that his career will be defined by underachievement and riddled with Stansbury-type head-scratching losses to teams with greatly inferior talent.
I mean damn- look at our roster. Look at our bench- and you tell me where we should have finished this season?
Look at Jones roster and his future draft picks- how did they finish? And they lost to us
