Do you keep TJ around?

I think if LSU is patient with TJ he returns LSU basketball to consistent quality. His first year he had established players and did well with them. But his choice as coach made several players change their commitments and he is just now building a program that can compete.

Remember Coach K at Duke had a 38-47 record his first three years after inheriting a well-established program from Bill Foster (1978 NCAA runner-up to KY). Coach K did not get to the NCAA until his FOURTH season and finished 7th in the ACC in his third season.

I think if we give TJ three more years he will have us consistently in the NCAA.

I'm glad you showed us that you're not really an LSU fan but just some troll.

I think he stays around.

I'm still on the fence with him. The last two years have been miserable, but I can see the direction he's taking the team.

However, I still don't see us being great next year. If we could land a stud SG that could score at will, then we'd be in a better spot.

Is it just me, or does anyone else have to put the closed captions on when TJ is talking to try and understand what he is saying.

Amazing note on Coach K at Duke (see my post above) is that his last season at Army his team went:

9-17

And Duke hired him and stuck with him.
Legend.

Tj has done enough in Aleva's mind to secure his job next year. I said last year he needed to play 500 in the SEC and that he will do

The question is whether or no Aleva will give him another contract extension or a new contract at season's end

What say Ye?

If LSU fails to make the NCAA Tourney at the end of the season do you start looking for a new coach? Even if he makes the NIT.

Yes. No. No

Even if he makes the NIT.

If we reach postseason play, he remains.

if they win a game in the NIT, certainly give him one more year. I find the fundamentals of this team solid. They actually aren't terrible at shooting free throws.
