My point is that most good coaches win more than 50% of their games before getting hired onto what could be a top 50 job.


UNT basketball has been around since 1916. They have won their conference 3 times TOTAL. Two of which were under Coach Jones. They went to the NCAA Tournament 3 times TOTAL. Two of which were under Coach Jones.

He continuously got good talent to a school with zero history and performed well for UNT. You need to get a grip. Winning 50% at UNT is solid. Big programs go play the UNT's during OOC so they don't have an inflated % like big conference teams.

Got a buddy in the sports admin department at UNT...we played college ball together and I asked him about Jones's teams at North Texas and he said "we had to outscore everybody...no defense." Take that for what it's worth bro.

Of all the Basketball posters, i respect your input the most. But with all the analysis, taking emotion completely out of it, we have some talented players on this team...McDonald All-Americans, etc. It just seems that at times they lack hustle, exhibit poor technique, take really bad shots, and the defense is just non-existent. Are these players overrated? We are losing to teams that we are far superior to talent wise. I want to give CJJ the benefit of the doubt and give him a solid 5 years but normally well coached teams improve and not digress. Am I off base?

Check out some of the non-conference games they were playing, I would venture to guess most of these would give Southern little competition.
