Can we talk about the coach's Xs and Os skill level?

Not trying to get banned. Apparently praise for a coach is allowed, but criticism is not.
Can we discuss this on the board?
There was a play that SC ran very successfully once. The inbound play where the guy faked going to the too if the key then went back door for an easy layup. They ran the same play a few minutes later when they needed a basket. It looked like the players were not in a formation to stop this.
Shouldn't you know that was coming?

The guy faked a cut on an inbound. Maybe the next time he actually does cut. Damned if you do damned if you don't. Comes down to making the basket...

Lol. I got a thread deleted, man.
Not even close to what they post on here about Miles.

Execution could be the problem and not X and O's.

I'm suggesting there are times when I'm no longer sure this is an LSU forum based on how far posters are allowed to go in bashing the program, players, and coaches.
I can only imagine what a miserable frick one must be to be annoyed that there isn't even more visible criticism of LSU here.

That didn't have anything to do with coaching. Gray got beat twice. He was betting on the out pass and probably wanted to intercept and head down court.

The poster that actually knows Xs and Os is a rare thing on this board.
Honestly , your post doesn't seem too educated on Xs and Os either.
You basically explained the play in very basic terms noticeable to anyone watching.
Not knocking you , but not sure you showed any ability to critique Xs and Os.
Granted its only one post, so I may have you wrong.

Looked to me like he knew it was coming the second time and still got beat.

This is complete bull. People here forget that making exaggerative statements not backed any knowledge or reality is not criticism.
Saying that Coach Jones is bad at X&Os because they got beat on two well executed plays is not criticism. It's a stupid post.

I think the OP is saying JJones is bad at Xs and Os because he's been bad at xs and os for the past 3 years. Matt the Sconeman was pointing it out on 104.5 several weeks ago. The bad half court offense and inability to draw up good inbounds plays. JJones is an exceptional recruiter, but we're beating bad teams by 4-6 points. We're aren't meeting our full potential.

Nah man don't feel bad, I don't know if it's that our players struggle to grasp concepts, our coaches are bad at coaching it, or our coaches just don't know X's and O's.
Anybody who knows basketball knows we struggle badly in the X's and O's department. The first inbounds play was just a great play, kudos to them, the second time I saw it coming watching on TV, so did my buddies, and so did the announcer who commented on it, but apparently our team/coaches did not. That really isn't a good thing at all.
Another example of poor X's and O's is our press break at the end, if you even want to call it that. Our guards came together like they should, but they didn't break out hard to the ball, set a screen, or do anything except for jog around and make half attempts to get open. And it hurt us, we got trapped and used a TO, and then we got a 5 second count because we couldn't get it in.

Formation?
It's basketball. We were playing man and Gray got beat on a back cut twice. There's no X's and O's that go in to it.

Yes there is.
"Grey, don't deny your man overly aggressive on the inbounds, play him tight but position yourself between him and the basket and be aware of the back cut"
Problem solved. Now, if that conversation was had and he got beat again, that's on him and coaches need to address his inability to adjust/listen to in game coaching

That has nothing to do with X's and O's.
