A reasonable take on LSU basketball.

Clap, clap, clap.

I disagree that Jones is mediocre. You don't roll out winning season after winning season if you are mediocre, but I see why that thought is out there.

Not the best Xs and Os guy. I buy that.

I had gotten to the point where I didn't think anyone had a clue about hoops on here.

The sec is bad. It was a 3 bid league. You know what other league was 3 bid? The A-10. Sec was behind the American and big east as well as all the other power 5 teams. In actuality we were a 2 bid league cause vandy lost the play in game.
You roll out winning seasons by playing a crappy schedule like we do. Kennesaw state, American, gardner-webb, McNeese, charleston(ops we lost that one)Morehouse, savannah state, etc.
In 4 years jones is 40-32 in conference (.560 winning percentage) If your barely over 50% in a 2 bid league you don't belong in the tournament.
Guess what he was 91-89 (.506) at north texas in conference. and only won the league title 1 time, and only finished higher than 3rd twice.

We are who our record says we are, and 56% is pretty mediocre, especially since Jonny has had 4 nba draft pics, 2 1st rounders and the number 1 overall selection and zero tournament wins to show for it.
So basically we front load our schedule with crap teams, then win half of the league games. what a vibrant program.
But you get what you pay for and Jones is the 11th highest paid coach ($1.2 mil)
I would like to see the administration make a commitment to the program and go pay for a top 3 coach in the league ( rick barnes is 3rd at $2.3 mil)Avery Johnson Makes $2.8 is second highest paid coach
