Do they really think that the Orange back court is better than Lemoyne College's backcourt?They meant "Best Back court" in the town of Syracuse.. but they didn't have enough room to add that last part...
I'm not sure they are even top 4 backcourt in the ACC.
FSU, Duke, ND, Louisville all have better backcourts.
.445/.390 is OK shooting and 1.27 points per shot is OK as well - 11.3 rebounds, 10.7 assists and 2.85 steals with only 2.75 TOs per game is solid production - A/TO= 1.93 is solid especially in their somewhat frenetic offense.
Competition and record aside, it is a solid back court and would be even better I suspect in a different system - they are both very exciting players that I think could be successful in a more disciplined system as opposed to the run and gun that Syracuse seems to play.
All in all, not an unreasonable claim to make if looking purely at statistics.
Either that or clichés are all the thought they are capable of.I had to smile at Holly W's assessment, which is included to support the publicity's claim: a bundle of very worn-out clichés. One thing I especially like about interviews with Geno: his insights, words, and metaphors show keen imagination and incisive intelligence-- at least in all things basketball. With most coaches, the clichés come tumbling out because it takes no thought.

I agree that Geno's ability to express himself in concise, comprehensible, often humorous form is one of the traits that separates him from other coaches.
We all have to start somewhere.Geno has certainly mastered the use of the word "really."
