Johnny's gonna get a lot of rope. He has a lot of big hitters on his side, and no one really gives a shite about basketball.

That and his recruiting acumen will buy him a lot of time.

I sure hope he learns how to command more respect from his kids in that time he gets. IMHO his biggest issue is he can't seem to get his kids to carry out simple directives that he what he wants them to, like not jacking irresponsible shots, communicating on defense and valuing ball possession. For me that's more concerning than actually having no clue,

I think he has a clue, at least at an average relative level, but he can't motivate his kids to execute at the simplest fundamental level.

communicating on defense

This has been a theme during Jones' tenure. I really don't understand why we continue to defend ball screens the way we do. Our help defense is really poor at times as well.

My concern is the kids fairly consistently if I can read between the lines, don't do what CJJ asks of them.

Johnny Jones is the Les Miles of basketball. He can recruit but cannot coach the talent.
