What did he do on the next one?

He made his only one of the game. I'm not saying he doesn't get tired. And, yes, the blame of having to play 40 minutes every game is on Jeff's inability to recruit a backup PG. I'm not arguing that fact. But, the reality is he's shooting 32% on the year from deep. Randy is shooting 30%. Not all of those misses are coming late. BJ is the only respectable shooter we have from behind the arc, and he is 2 for his last 16.

Exactly. Jones deserves criticism for not having a backup point guard. The tired argument is just an attempt at confirmation bias. Caver has missed his 3s early, middle, and late. I would moreso criticize the late of shooting mechanics from Caver, Haynes, and Green...and really BJ too, although he somehow makes them at a decent clip.

This is the most pathetic post I have seen from a guy that stands by jones, relentlessly.

In our case, we have none. Dayton, who has a losing record, is our best and only top 100 win (they are 99).

Words cannot express how pathetic this schedule has been, how much of a joke our inflated record actually is nor how outmatched jones is against Kermit Davis EVERY SINGLE YEAR.

No significant wins this........no signature program defining wins in Jeff's entire career at odu nor at American.

It's been well over a decade since he's defeated a single noteworthy coach in a big game. Year 5, 3 quarterfinal cusa tourney exists, no regular season championships, no tourney championships and no NCAA tourney births (and no real end in sight to out extended fun of slightly better than mediocre basketball). All or this in a conference that has been MUCH WORSE, from a statistical standpoint, than the old CAA we used to play in which was one of the best mid major conferences in basketball, a conference that produced multiple final 4 teams, multiple first round upsets from multiple programs.........a conference we used to be a top dog in year after year.

Now we are middle tenn's b-tch and no one else in the conference is worth a damn.

Wku is better but they aren't an NCAA tourney team either.

Another 100+ rpi season, another Also ran season, no nit, no NCAA

WHY ARE YOU CLOWNS OK WITH THIS!??

We are capable of so much better. Look what stansbury has done for wku. Look what keatts did in 2-3 years at uncw. It should never take 5 years (now most likely 6 at a minimum) to "turn around" a program like ours.

Aim high for Christ sake.

No they are not. They are awful. They are ranked 142 by kenpom. That is not even close to a quality win.

You realize the post was a criticism of Jones, correct?
