Poor FT shooting (which was around 60% last year and this year = no improvement), a mediocre defense that seems to let people drive by them at times (this is still a watch in progress, but I expect it is not going to get much better), and not making a pass on fast breaks points towards a lack of coaching.
Look at the programs that are top tier each year with great coaches. They always play defense, are good free throw shooters, and are unselfish on offense. The ebbs and flows of these top programs stem from the offense talent that the team has from year-to-year (recruiting) but coaching is always consistent in the other phases of the game.

On a positive note, I do like the way that JJ presses.

I think the defense is relatively solid. We made a vast improvement in fouling from game 1 to game 2. We allowed only 0.87 points per possession in the Northwestern St game. Northwestern St scored 1.31 points per possession against Auburn.
We do allow some players to get by off the dribble, but that is one of the nice things about having a player like Mickey in the middle. I still think we want to stay in from of the players better, however, I don't think it means we play poor defense.

Why do you not expect it to get much better? Just for the sake of being negative? We've played two games against two very strong offenses.

So you're saying he's purposefully ignoring it? He had great FT shooting teams at UNT.

Chaz Williams is one of the best PGs LSU will play all year and NSU runs the floor a ton, which leads to that. It's not like NSU was able to just drive at will though. If anything, I was very proud of the defense last night. Not many teams are going to hold them under 75.
