We need some objectivity in a worse way. Asking for a non-emotional post on where things stand realistically with the program. Just trying to avoid catastrophe syndrome...HELP!

Catastrophe syndrome?


This team just hit a new low.

Firstly, LSU has to win their next 5 games (including Kentucky), and reach the SEC Tournament final to have a shot at making the NCAA Tournament.

If they lose to Kentucky, we need to win the SEC Tournament to make the NCAA Tournament.

If neither of those two things happen (they won't), there's really no reason for the head coach to keep his job. However, he likely will.

Johnny will probably be given another season, we won't make the tournament again next year, and then he'll be fired.

What program? Only a real basketball coach who can coach and recruit at some level can build a program here. There has to be some kind of balance.

I'm baffled that people actually care enough about LSU roundball to melt.

I mean... This is pretty objectively a catastrophe. Not sure how to get around that fact.

it's my understanding that at times, a play call has come in from the coaches (primarily for simmons) that wasn't run. i understand that if that happens once, ok. maybe a miscommunication or a mistake. if it happens twice, you bench his butt until his attitude is better. can you imagine a player not running what coach k calls?

would that have saved the season? i have no idea. does that have anything to do with simmons' "academic matter?" i have no idea but i doubt it very seriously.

as for next season, bringing in a couple of promising juco players with the current crew. i just don't know how much of a difference it will make with the current skipper. it's possible the tigers will be better but, the ceiling will be much, much lower than this season or last.

This is the danger of hiring a former player. A feel good story at the beginning turns into a nightmare at the end. All the difficulties that come with a coach not working out become even worse when it's one of your own.

Where do things stand?

LSU has Simmons
LSU has CJJ as coach
LSU is not making the tournament unless we win the SEC tournament

Things are pretty damn miserable.

Lol at your thread title & post.

Problem: we play out of control playground ball with guys who can't shoot and our defense is a joke.

Solution: A new coach
