I'm definitely not one of the Dale guys here, but I will say they are and always have been totally different coaches in style and manner.

Dale was willing to delegate coaching responsibilities to his assistants. His interests were many and varied outside basketball and I also think he was definitely ADD or ADHD whatever you call it and was not able to focus on the little details so he allowed his assistants a lot of responsibility.

I see Jones as being very hands on, and not delegating much. He has hired some good assistants but I have heard said from those close to the program that at times some of those assistants have been frustrated by the lack of input they are allowed.

And I think motivation/accountability, whatever you want to call it, for all of Dale's faults he was definitely better at that than CJJ and if fact IMHO it is Johnny's biggest weakness.

and if you don't kniw x's and o'seither than wow! Talk about a complete lack of ability. But I agree, he cannot strategize nor can he motivate. How bad would he be if he couldn't recruit? He really is pretty awful.

If he's doing this, then he has no one to blame but himself when he's looking for a job again. I can understand a "great" coach taking a more active role, but even great coaches let their coaches teach and help influence the team.
