That said, I'd have an issue with this if I was an LSU fan.


JJ has said much more dumbfounding things than that. Myself, and I would assume 90% of the fanbase just doesn't give a damn about his comments because we know how shitty of a coach he is.

Nothing wrong with with he said. But Johnny needs to be 'hopeful' that he gets to come back next year.

Just heard a caller on KSR talk about the quote when I posted. I agree, nothing to it in the context.

Unlike Calipari, Jones isn't quite sure how to handle these one and done players

Yeah I'm so rustled at the fact that you can't use context clues to properly get an idea of what Jones was saying

Let's put it this way:
Do you want to go play for the 76ers?

What a shitty person for wanting a kid to stay in college longer to make sure he's ready for the NBA. Johnny is Satan

The article you linked basically calls you an average fan based on your opinions on Simmons. Did you read all of that?

I don't blame him for saying it, but it does get old hearing coaches use disingenuous coach speak in these interviews. I guess it's because heaven help him in the world we live in if he gave an honest answer.

Your fascination with Johnny Jones, Simmons and LSU basketball in general is confusing. You root for UK. What makes you care so much that you have to start threads about LSU basketball like all the fricking time.


Are you that idiot Matt Jones? If not he could use some help sucking Cal off some more

you don't think he's being honest that he hopes there is a chance his best player will come back?

I won't comment on Jones specifically because I don't know exactly what he said (some context helps), but if it's in the context of trying to publicly guilt a kid into coming back to save your job then it's shitty.


If you truly believe this then you don't know who Johnny Jones is as a person. Johnny is not a good basketball coach but he is a stand up guy and a class act. Also he isn't getting fired after this year no matter what. His seat will be really hot next year. This year might be the reason he gets fired but it won't be until after next year.
