Does LSU basketball have a play before halftime called?

I like johnny jones, but this is one of my biggest criticisms of him. Having hickey jack up contested 3s is retarded

WE USUALLY COME OUT AND PLAY WELL THE FIRST 4 MINUTES OR SO OF THE 2ND HALF, EVEN YESTERDAY SHOWED BRIEF SIGNS OF LIFE BEFORE THE MELTDOWN ENSUED.

and i just realized the caps lock is on and am not re-typing that shite

It looks like the play is always for Hickey to drive and either teardrop or dish, but a Hickey can never get past his defender.

I agree on the last possession I'd give it to Jarrell and have him go iso. He has a similar frame and style of shot as Lebron. Go strong to the rim or elevate and shoot the jumper.

I'm kind of used to it now.

Hickey dribbles methodically near the half court line as the clock ticks. 13, 12, 11, 10, 9... Hickey gets into gear, begins dribbling fast to the right, then left, then back to the right. 5 seconds have passed, the clock is down to four. Now is the time. Hickey stops his dribble and jumps into the air for his shot... 25 feet from the basket. Clank. Halftime.

I think that's how CJJ has it drawn up too.

My perception is there is a disconnect between what is being coached and taught and what is being executed on the court.

Because I don't think CJJ does not know the fundamental concepts of coaching basketball. The concepts are pretty simple and universal. There ain't alot of creativity and inginuity going on in the college basketball that I see these days.

It's getting your team to execute the fundamental concepts and for whatever reasons, IMHO...this year, CJJ isn't getting our kids to execute these things as well as most of the teams in the SEC, including teams that are not as taletened as we are.

The hope is for me that this year is an excepton. A bad mix of personell and circumstances and CJJ will learn from this, coach smarter, recruit smarter and move forward.

Because for me, one can talk about our small guards, Martin's injury, losing Morgan and whatever other rationalizations one wants to, this year, to this point to me has been a disappointment and an underachievement.

It isn't the litmus test for CJJ and he will get plenty ot time to correct and forge his legacy in the coming years.

But for now, this year can be judged on it's own merit and IMHO it has been a disappointment pending some miraculous SEC tourney run, which given the consistent defensive issue we have, which I think transcend personell, is highly unlikey.
