re: Rabalais agrees with some of us, says JJ did good this year

Not going to read what Rabalais has to say but Jones has done a good job improving us each year. I still think his best coaching job was actually his first year where he pushed a dog shite roster to what should have been a NIT bid. Im pleased that we advanced to the real dance finally, but he has to get better at in-game management.

His recruiting is top notch. I think we are seeing it now that instead of just bringing in raw players he is brining in top polished guys like Simmons. He also did a excellent job with improving TQ.

He doesn't even really have to get better at the X and O part of the game. He needs to get better at knowing when to actually reign in his players. His style is a good one if you know how to properly pull them back in. Id like to see a timeout when we get out of control for 2 or 3 possessions in a row. He also needs to do a better job working the officials. He shouldn't be scared to death of getting a technical foul or a warning. I would also like to see him improve sub patterns, because even with a short bench you can keep guys fresh.

Overall I feel confident that LSU basketball is heading in the correct direction. I do think it is critical he improves his in-game coaching considering what is going on with the sec right now since state looks to be alive again and Bama might be a threat at some point.
