re: 13-0 run and Jones sits on his full allotment of timeouts

I believe we are winning now with mainly the talent on the floor. JJ will occasionally make a good X/O decision, but by and large, he flounders around on the sideline looking lost and sitting on timeouts.

I would not totally discount this. I've heard his philosophy is to let the kids have some freedom to play and not be always looking over their shoulder and there is definitely some feeling among many that the college game today is extremely too micromanaged and over-coached.

Dan Dokitch relayed how the hockey coach at the school he coached at always made fun of him about all the t.v. timeouts along with all the timeouts they were given. "Don't you guys practice?"

I don't think CJJ is quite as bad a technician as some do though I certainly do and have scratched my head at times on certain thing (inbounds plays being one).

But for me it's more to accountability and discipline and setting that tone for the program to instill enough of that so that these silly fundamental things like unforced turnovers and bad shot selection don't keep happening over and over and over and over.
