re: What is really going on with the basketball team? (No BS, honest truth)

Low on talent

Can't say that when you have better players this year than in years past under Brady or Johnson. I said it earlier, 2009 and 2010 were good examples of winning games with the talent levels we expect

I haven't followed basketball much in my lifetime

but from what I have read here and on the radio, it sounds as if these players don't even have the motivation or hustle ability to try to even grab a ball if it is going out of bounds in order to save it.

If that's the case that falls back on the coaches and the players reflect the actions of the coach

It's multi-layered and I could talk about this all day. Every faucet of their game is lacking...

To put it simply

Johnny Jones is not a good basketball coach.

Lsu misses other team gets rebound and go make their shot. Other team misses but gets the rebound and make their shot. Other team makes crucial free throw LSU misses free throw. Not to mention having 8 turnovers in a 6 minute span is crazy.

I know this statement is intended to be an oversimplification (joking) of an otherwise very complicated question. However, I can't help but think that 75% of LSU basketball fans only see what you just said. Our basketball ignorance bleeds from the fans all the way down to the administration. When the elders don't know anything about basketball they usually hire a bad basketball coach.

Johnny Jones the player was a little before my time. One of my older relatives mentioned (around the time he was hired) that he was really fast but played out of control most of the time. He would make some good plays and then have multiple turnovers and bad shots.

At the time, I interpreted that to mean that he wasn't a good team player and didn't fully understand how to 'think' through a game (i.e. make adjustments as your opponent makes adjustments).

Does anyone know if the above is relatively accurate about him as a player. If so, could there be any correlation to him as a coach?

Regardless of why, they look like a team destined for defeat every game, who always play terribly in the 2nd half.

Just hope the situation is handled so no one transfers.
