Completely agree, but I have to wonder why Jones needs to be learning at this point in his career. He's been a college coach for nearly 30 years, and head coach of D-I programs for 14 years. He should already know how to coach x and o's, how to substitute, how to use timeouts, and how to motivate.
Sure, we all continue to learn throughout our careers, but this is basic stuff that any coach with a few years experience should know. It greatly concerns me that Jones seems lacking at this stage in his career.

I do think you coach differently when you are at a school with low expectations vs a school with high expectations. This is his first high expectations team. At UNT they were not expected to win all the time. He exceeded expectations at a poor program, but lets see if he can get a good program back to its high status.

We'll never run an offense like John Beilein's Michigan offense. Jones allows more freedom, and I think we'll have to live with some sloppy play at times. It can still be a great style of play though, and I think it attracts recruits to LSU. Our defense was another story this season. Just too much inconsistency.

As down as the SEC is relative to other big time basketball conferences I do still think it's at a significantly different level than the Sun Belt where CJJ got most of his head coaching experience.
One example is that from everything I heard pre-season and read he fully expected Quarterman to have a much more significant impact early.
I think he counted on it. And it was a mis-evaluation.
This is a higher level. He has still much to learn at a head coach here.
I'm not sure how much the years as an assistant here helped in that regard either. It's a very different game now than then and much of his time here he wasn't the lead assistant making alot of the important decisions.
But one thing you would have thought he would have learned from Dale, motivation....seems to be the area he has the most to go in.
