If he's supposed to be as good as advertised then a coach shouldn't matter as much in basketball.

These A&M players that are going to be bartenders and forklift drivers after eligibility are abusing him mercilessly...

They were never good...never had a chance to be good....simmons will be good he's still very green...Blakeney will also be very good...Hornsby is the most consistent player.....everyone one else pretty much sucks....

This is just dumb. How many NCAA tourneys did Pistol Pete play in?

Take a look at his shots per game for how much he touches the ball, guy has no offensive skill set and confidence toward the end of games.

For the first time in six games he made a FG outside the paint. And you think he has great offensive skills? What a joke.

I've seen him be at the rim several times and opt to make a cutesy pass to the perimeter instead of finishing the play. He's softer than a role of Charmin.

Don't give me that it is all due to volume bullshite. He is 3rd in the SEC in FG% at 56% despite constantly drawing double and triple teams.

both....

Jones shouldn't even be coaching little league ball, and Simmons needs to grow a set of balls and take over when needed...

Coaching makes a difference to a point... But there are times that ben should be going to the hoop instead of trying some fancy pass.. I see that way to often....

"20. 12 and 5 dimes" most at garbage time....how many with game on line-i think you know the answer because he stayed away from the ball when it was clutch time....

Probably a little bit of both but DEFINITELY under-coached.

90% Coaching
10% Overrated*

*It isn't that he is overrated, he was just pushed so hard prior to him ever setting foot on LSU's campus.

No shite...Pretty damn amazing stats for a freshmen on a dysfunctional poorly coached team. If anything, Ben is underrated.
