Exactly why Johnny Jones should be considered one of the worst basketball coaches ever. Dude was horrendous. To be fair as well, Blakeney and Sampson hadn’t really turned it on yet at that point in their careers. Blakney underperformed his freshman year and Sampson wasn’t much until Simmons left if I remember correctly. Quarterman and Hornsby were both good, it’s still a shame that team didn’t at least make the tournament.

He certainly gets his share of the blame and I don’t think there’s anybody who absolves him. However the guy is a tiger through and through and took a less talented team the year before to the tourney yet somehow the Simmons apologists ignore that and praise a guy who trashed the school on his way out

In the biggest win of the season Simmons spent the first half on the bench in foul trouble. The team was better without him

Lol wut... he had one of the best freshman seasons in LSU history.

Not sure why he gets the blame for that shitshow of a year when it was 99% on JJ

Who tricking cares if Ben Simmons is in the NBA playoffs?


YOU should care. It's about branding when it comes to recruiting, and having a high-profile NBA player promoting your school can only help.

No. Just... no. NCAA tournament, absolutely. Final Four, LOL.

Liked Ben Simmons and still follow him. He was a very good player at LSU but I try to see the best in others instead of criticize. Jealous Little Boy.

I like Ben Simmons.
I’m glad he went to LSU.

He brought desperately needed publicity to the LSU basketball program.

He is a special talent.

meh I don’t think you can expect any one player to get a team to the final four but he at least should have carried us to the tornament. Unreal

His heart was not in in at LSU-- just biding his time--not a Tiger...
