Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports

LSU head coach Johnny Jones announced Sunday night that the Tigers will not participate in a postseason tournament this year. Per LSUSports.net:

quote:
“We will be able to utilize this time to get better and start preparations for next season. We fell short of the mark of getting to the NCAA Tournament; I take full responsibility for this team, and will do the things necessary to make sure we are able to reach one of our main goals at LSU in the future,” said LSU Head Coach Johnny Jones.

Jones consulted with his staff and met with the team earlier on Sunday before announcing his decision.

Epitome of this soft arse team and coach. Sometimes in life, you have to suck it up and finish what you start. You represent the university in wins and losses. This is embarrassing.

Why play in the post season when they didn't want to play in the regular season?

b rod lsu•117 months

The "begin work on next season" explanation is horse shite. If you accept a tournament bid, you can continue to practice/begin work on next season until you're eliminated. Rejecting a bid means your season is over and you can not continue practicing.

what an embarrassment.

So BS walked on him.

For that game to be Hawthorne's last at LSU is stomach churning. Man deserved so much better after 32 years of work with LSU athletics. So ready for Johnny Jones to be let go.

blueboy•117 months

So I guess Hawthorne's last game was that pathetic shite show. Wow. Johnny is a disaster and needs to be shitcanned immediately. I defended him for a long time, but this is just gutless and petty.

Only way Johnny Jones to help the future of the LSU basketball team is by resigning. He has no coaching skills. Motivating players will only get a team so far. The current team made no adjustments during season after they were exposed by a few teams.

bkirby2•117 months

This is about right. With the exception of Hornsby and Blakeney, this team was full of quitters all year long.

TigerSavage•117 months

Just sad and a shame for Jim. He deserved better and will always be a Tiger legend.

lsusportsman2•117 months

"elects not to participate" lmao. What a crock of shite. Johnny Jones is a fricking jackass.

eugene1928LSU•117 months

wow, but if that last pathetic game was the effort this team was going to give in a post season tournament, best to stay home. Sad

Spankum•117 months

Can't say I am completely surprised...looks like all involved are ready for this painful season to come to an end.

I hate Johnny so much

Tiger Nation 84•117 months

Hate is a strong word. But as far as being pathetic and a Bum for a coach thats another thing.

Guava Jelly•117 months

Out with a fizzle...

RIDICULOUS, THEY SHOULD PLAY IN NIT

wesman21•117 months

When will be able to confirm that we were invited to the NIT?

dchotard•117 months

So what are they going to do with all those NIT T-shirts???

ManBearTiger•117 months

This is a true shithead move. I'm sure the seniors on the team appreciate this. Coaches are paid to coach the games their teams are scheduled to play. This is a clear deriliction of duty, can this assclown tonight.

IntenseKid•117 months

Not surprised
