You must have missed the point about the acc being much, much tougher than the sun belt.

So you're ok with lsu, which has one of the largest budgets in the top athletic conference, having a coach whose career highlight is 4 good sun belt tourney finishes? No regular season championships, no signature tourney wins, no regular appearances in the sweet 16. That's what is called incommensurate. It's a clear sign of lack of support for basketball from the ad.

No I didn't miss that point. You must have missed my point how Haith had very little success in the ACC. Is it impossible to have any success in the ACC now? A great coach like Haith can only make it to the NCAA once while in such a great conference, yet Johnny Jones in the lowly sunbelt has made it twice?

Hate to break it to you, but LSU is not currently a power house basketball school which can attract elite coaches. Jones wasn't LSU's first option but that doesn't mean he can't be successful here, just look at Haith.

Also Haith has 1 more tourney win that Jones, 0 sweet 16 appearances, no signature tourney wins, yet you consider him an elite coach...
