And we would have lost 20 without him...what's your point?

Basketball has 5 players on the court.

Dude broke SEC records and national records.

Basically, he had to average 25/15/10 and then people would have been satisfied? Do people realize how impossible that is? Guy put up INSANE numbers.

Basically saying that we had enough talent on the court with Simmons that there was no excuse for that. I've been blaming Jones more than any other LSU coach in the past decade because of this. Had the team advanced in the tourney and looked competitive, Jones may've been able to recruit another top prospect. Instead, we ran few set plays and looked very lost. No top prospect will want to play for him after witnessing that. LSU football scored 20 more points in their last game than the basketball team in theirs.

I'm thankful Simmons played here and wanted to be a legend for a school not named Duke or Kentucky, but it didn't pan out that way because of Jones and the bad team chemistry that ensued under his tutelage.
