Maybe we should lock up jones to a 10 year extension now before someone else steals him away from us.

Yet again, not one mention of a lifetime contract/extension for JJ. Seems a good majority on this thread seem to agree with questioning the rotations and struggles of the 1st half.

I'll stop posting about jeff Jones's job security when the same 3 posters stop questioning the fanship of everyone who is ready for a change in leadership after every single victory, sound like a deal?

I'm sure people are as tired of me pointing out our garbage rpi and total lack of quality wins as I am reading the same "where are the Fire jones guys now" after every win no matter how awful the opponent was or how unimpressed people were by the ball we played.

Long time odu fans are looking for other things to do on gamenights now. That's a problem.

I could get into the total lie of how we were going to change styles once we had the players but really, what's the point?

Some people are so dug in now they refuse to criticize jones no matter what he does and on the other end of the spectrum some fans are struggling to find the joys in wins because they are much more worried about the "bigger picture" and the spectre of jones doing just enough year after year to justify keeping his job while never actually getting us anywhere that matters.

I know which side I have my money on. But can we put an end to this garbage "fanhood questioning"? It serves zero purpose and it really just makes the people making the assertion look asinine. Everyone posting on a message board about odu basketball is a real fan. Period. Just because people have different visions and different expectations for the future of the program doesn't mean anyone is a bad fan.

A legitimate argument could be made that the fans who tolerate mediocrity and refuse to hold anyone accountable are the worst fans possible and the real threat to the program, but again, what would be the point of making this argument? To belittle anyone with a differing viewpoint because you think you know best?

The fact that anyone is here at all to talk about a middling college basketball team in a garbage conference that's lost any semblance of importance in the two major sports means that they have to be actual dedicated fans in the first place.

Unless of course you're just T-Mac.

Be honest. Did you even watch the game?

Watched the last half hour and we looked great against an abysmal basketball team.

I'm still extremely troubled by our apparent total lack of depth and Jeff's inability to figure out a rotation that will keep our guys fresh going into March, especially considering the fact that OOC is TOTALLY MEANINGLESS now.

Why we can't get this young guys experience OOC when they need it the most and when it has no real effect on out season at this point is absolutely mind boggling but kind of par for the course for jones at this point.

The next decision he makes that I agree with will probably be the first lol.
