No new criticism, just the same old ones:

1. The new guy has to have talent.
2. The coach has to let him USE his talent...not try to mold him into something he's not.
3. He has to get on the floor more than 2 minutes per month.

Much of the criticism leveled at Jones is due to his refusal to adapt his style to his players' abilities, and his refusal to let them into games unless they meet his fanatical standard of defense. This commitment, while encouraging, is still a "wait and see" development for me. Even if the kid is great, he needs to get playing time.

BTW, I sincerely hope he is great. I truly do. I've loved ODU basketball for more than 30 years.
