The whole tactition thing gets blown way out porportion on the board, and its mostly by football/baseball posters, that tune in for very few and select basketball games, see that and make a judgement thatfor whatever reason CJJ doesn't know the game, or doesnt have enough sets or the base isnt complex enough.

From personal experience, the guys have more than 60 sets in a given game they could run. Obviously they cant run them all in one game, and many are off the same basic set, princinple, or flow.

Once you get past the midway point in conferences anyways with todays internet capabilites and software, the scouting is so exact, it just comes down to execution. I know for a fact on every occasion where we had "inbounds troubled", there was something called from the bench there wasnt just go out and play.

The timing is bad and that will hurt the scope of the search, but just think RD is the choice.

Hire Avery Johnson. It would be an upgrade from his current position.

Offense isn't the concern. LSU is inefficient on that side of the ball, but they still score more than enough points to win games because their faster tempo=more shots=more made baskets.

Defense is where this team is going to miss a guy like Musselman and where we hoped Trealor would be valuable. LSU greatly improved their defensive efficiency last seaon. That was as big a reason as any for their good year, and IMO will be the difference between a good year next seaon and a possible great year.

Because of Jones' uptempo style I don't think LSU will ever be super-efficient on offense. But that's ok, so long as they can lock it up on the defensive end. If Dupree (who played for a good defensive coach in Brady) can be the guy who helps LSU accomplish that, then I'm all for him!
