I think there are a lot of homers and rubes who don’t realize that if Boeheim had been retained, none of this would be possible. JB was barely involved in recruiting the past decade or so. Barely lifting a finger and rarely making any AAU appearances except if only when convenient when Buddy was playing. Certainly not making it to any open gyms. Failure to bring in (or keep) any direct competition or depth to challenge Buddy/Joe. Our style of play really started to become antiquated. 2-3 Zone only and poor concepts in the halfcourt. Results on the court followed and caught up to us where we were fighting like crazy to even make the Bubble discussion. Then factor in the antics in pressers, behavior with the media, battling any valid criticism or concerns with bizarre retorts and even lies. Well, Wildhack finally had to pull the plug.
Donnie Freeman was a HEAVY Alabama lean but when JB was not retained this all changed. No chance Westry or Starling come had Boeheim been retained. I could go on and on. Looking forward to this season as Red purged most of the disaster of the roster he inherited…from Boeheim.
