"Better than Trent Johnson" is what we in the industry refer to as a "left-handed compliment."

He really drove TCU's powerhouse into the ground the past 4 years.

TCU has paid him $8.4 million for those 7 conference wins!

So probably the worst bball coach in school history is where the bar is set?

I understand why he posted this. Because TCU paid Trent to leave, and it was the worst times ever for LSU under Trent. Basketball program under Johnny>>>>>>Trent

I like Johnny. I was expecting this team to be better than they are but we still have a chance to go to the dance for the second year in a row! That hasn't happened that often since Dale left.

Here is the damn problem, in Basketball, on STUD player can make all the difference and this team has who some are calling the next LeBron and Coach JJ has no earthly idea how to use him.

Now, this team made it pretty far last year, so there seems to be talent, but for some reason this clown of a coach seems to be pissing it all away. Maybe he should learn what his weaknesses are and hire a damn coach who knows how to actually coach the talent he seems to be able to bring in.

If he does not, then his arse needs to hit the road.

I don't think that's right. JJ basically uses Simmons for everything. That is the problem. Benson has to be a scorer, facilitator, rebounder, and the best defender every night or they lose. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.

Umm, that is my point! You have to be able to use your team to compliment the star and not just throw the star out there to do it all. Anyone can just rely on talent, a coach knows how to maximize that talent and reserve the star for when he is needed.

Ok coach, what if the talent is making shots? Example being Blakeney and Sampson.
