Posted this morning:
I agree with all of this. Blame needs to be put on players AND coaches, not one or the other. This season WAS an improvement and the future is bright in that we'll have too much talent next year to do any worse. But no one is a MORON for blaming coach.

Coach Jones deserves to be called into question and deserves a hefty portion of the blame for last night’s loss and for several others this year. Many of you I heard from recognize that Coach Jones is an exceptional recruiter but are not yet convinced that he is a great Xs and Os coach, and I feel the same way. But, while it’s easy and convenient to put the blame on Coach Jones, we also have to realize that just one made field goal in the last few minutes, or just one made free throw in the final four attempts, would have likely put the game out of reach. And we also have to remember that Coach Jones’ Tigers won 22 games this year and made it to the tournament for the first time in six years.

Johnny Jones needs an Art Tollis type of assistant ,if anything, to wake him up when he gets caught in the headlights.

You could see it in chuck barleys eyes last night at halftime.
I can only imagine what he thought after we lost.

Coaching often sets the pace for team focus and discipline. The hot and cold play of this team all season raises the question of whether Coach Jones has all his eggs in the recruiting basket and only broken shells in playing the actual game with focus and intensity (and Xs and Os). I think he is lacking in the XOs dept. And in focus. This team reflects that well, because otherwise they are a talented bunch.

Anytime the phrase "X's & O's" is used when talking about a coach I immediately disregard everything that person is saying.

Reasonable take by Scott.

JJ needs a Tex Winters to help. He's just dale Brown over again.

In any good organization, most would call it a team effort,win or lose, and coaches are a part of the team.

He is exceptional recruiter! No doubt about it! I saw that immediately when he was at North Texas. I thought LSU should have been hired him, and didn't know why they hadn't. After all he is the prodigal son! But since I've watched starting last season I've come to see how bad a coach he is. His teams are unorganized. He calls TO's at bad times. Call TO's when they are playin well. Nuts! His teams are jekyll and hyde! Lack fundamentals badly! I could go on and on, but I won't. I like Johnny Jones, but maybe he should turn the coaching reins over to someone else on the staff.
Mickey and Martin damn sure shouldn't go to the pros. And with No 1 Ben Simmons comin in these guys can be special! but they will need some serious coaching up!

sorry that one was ALL on the players. Sometimes the ball just won't go in the hole. No explanation of why that happens, sometimes it just does.
