I mean, should a guy who's now in his 15th year coaching Division I basketball really be learning basic things like taking a time out before you lose a 13 point lead or yelling at players for taking 4, 5, 6 3 pointers in a row and missing all of them?


No. Not really.

I think he has been better with timeouts this year but not great. There was nothing good about the last 10 minutes of our game this weekend. I think you have to put a lot of blame on Coach Jones for that. I also don't think this loss is a catastrophic "Coach Jones will never be a good coach" type game either.

I agree that Jones should have pulled his players aside and told them to stop throwing up three pointers. That didn't happen and it cost us a very important game.

The problem with Mickey on offense is he struggles to find good post position. He always catches the ball 15 feet from the hoop and has to shoot midrange jumpers. He needs to work on establishing position and holding his ground in the post. Better entry passes from the guards would help with this too.

My guess is that it is taking him an adjustment period to get used to such a disparity of talent between his best guys and the bottom of the bench. The talent level at North Texas was probably much more even. As a result he is riding the top players too much and is somewhat frozen to make any changes.

Either way, he needs to get past it. It does look like he is making an effort. I hope this last game doesn't cause a setback.
