I don't have any issue with a coach sitting a guy with 2 fouls for the rest of the first half. However, it can't be a hard, fast rule, without exception for circumstances.
For instance, if Victor picked up 2 early, you HAD to sit him for the rest of the half without exception. He was only one of two serviceable post players and was a real potential to pick up a foul on every trip.
At the end of the day though, I think the "2 foul" issues was FAR from Jones' biggest problem. The overall lack of emphasis on defense is THE biggest reason LSU is so inconsistent. Until that changes, this will remain a program capable of beating any team or losing to any team.

I agree. Again--not sure what conclusions are to be drawn if any, and there are so many variables in play. I just found the data interesting for a college basketball fan in general.

When it's the future #1 overall pick and you're fighting for a tourney spot late in the year, it's a bad move IMO

this is correct. Sitting a player with 2 fouls isn't necessarily wrong, but that shouldn't be set in stone.
A good coach adapts to the unique situation of each game. Black-letter rules like this just means that Jones doesn't have to think. And that's bad.
