“That's happened far too often to Old Dominion this season. The Monarchs have lost six games this season by 3 points or less, one short of tying the school record, and 11 games by 7 points or less.

And it's been especially frustrating recently. In ODU's six losses since the New Year, the average margin has been 3.3 points. If the Monarchs had won those games, they would be 12-0 in Conference USA. Instead, ODU is 10-15 overall and 6-6 in the league.”

And 7 of our 10 wins are by 10 points or less.

Last year we won 7 games by either 2-3 points, 1 basket, which would have made us 19-15 and many would want jones gone.

You are what your record says you are.

Unless your record says you won 20+ games. Then it’s due to playing crap teams or a crap conference.

I was pointing out the absurdity of playing the what if game.

Jones deserves credit for winning a title in a bad conference this year.

If you want to argue why it wasn’t a bad conference, I’m all ears and would love to hear it.

It’s a bad conference this year too and we are sucking which is even worse.

I understood the point you were making. And I’m not arguing whether the conference was good, bad, or mediocre last year. I was just pointing out your contradictory arguments that records matter except when they don’t matter.
