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


In our season finale, Jones put Simmons back in the game with 2 fouls in the first half. Simmons almost immediately picked up #3.

But you also have to note that those top coaches have MUCH DEEPER benches than us.


That makes sense.

Good luck with that on here.

Just bash the coach who averages 20 wins a year, brings in NBA draft picks, has taken LSU to the NCAA tournament and also been won a game in the NIT and would have had LSU back in the NIT last year had LSU not turned a bid down.

yeah when the game was already out of reach. He let him sit the bench when we couldn't score for like 10 minutes.

point being, I'd have like to see him take a few risks when it actually mattered. Not every coach operates in this same manner when it comes to fouls.

And not a lick of coaching or emotion showed thereafter. Just a blank stare .... indicative of why we struggled all year.
