Trent Johnson- What's so great about him?

It seems like everyone is thrilled with Trent Johnson as coach, and I just do not see what everyone is so excited about.
On offense, this year and last, there is no ball movement. Today against a team that couldn't rebound to save its life, it seemed as if half LSU's points came on putbacks.
I honestly couldn't tell the difference between this game vs ISU and the pickup games at the rec other than the players were taller.
Have they ever run a pick and roll? Spencer and Taz seem like a great combo to be running it. No instead players hold on to the ball for 5 seconds, then pass it off to someone else who holds on to the ball for 5 seconds before taking an ill advised shot. It's garbage basketball. Shouldn't Saint Trent run some sort of offense?
Last year when you had a shooter like Thornton, he could bail the team out when they did nothing on offense. But with mediocre talent on the floor (Green is terrible), having no remnants of organization on offense is going to take its course.

not much is left on this team aside from taz, stor, and bo. trent will get as much as he can out of them, but outside of those seniors last year brady didn't leave him a lot of depth. either way this program is in much better hands than it was 2 years ago.

I have nothing to say to this guy. I am at a loss for words. I think the football negativity is spilling over to basketball.

I don't really have the evidence yet to agree with you....however the 2 points above are very valid IMO

In sports you attempt to win, and I believe the aforementioned stat appeals to said premise.

Yeah, we need to nip this one in the bud before it becomes a problem.

Do the world a favor. End it all. We will be okay without you. Thanks.

Gets the best out of his team.
Has the respect of his players.
Is capable of drawing up plays out of a time out that don't include having Garrett Temple hurl up a 3 from 7 feet behind the line as time expires when you only need 2 to win.
Doesn't have jowls. What else could you ask for?
ETA: Also this guy eats, sleeps, and shits basketball - it is nothing short of amazing.

This guy must freaking hate Miles.
Posted on 11/16/09 at 11:04 pm to ChitownLSU12
Wow, please do us all a favor and go look at what he has done before he came to LSU, then maybe you'll understand better. Then look at the same team he took to the 2nd round of the ncaa tourney last year, did the year before. Basically the same team.

Trent Johnson laughs at you then pees in your toilet without flushing.

I wish no one at all had given this post a response, it doesn't even deserve one.
