Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 4616942, member: 2839"] Will the next coach be able to recruit to Syracuse? Boeheim had cache by way of a 50 year history of being Boeeim. He could also fall back in one-dimensional players by hiding their defensive deficiencies in the zone. 3pt distance and offensive confidence has rendered the 2-3 zone obsolete as a full-time defensive base. Syracuse built organic rivalries with UConn, GTown, and St. Johns and could use the conference, as Calhoun did. For as long as they've been associated, there really isn't a history, so to speak, with Pittsburgh or BC. No other program is within a day's drive. Also there was a lot of coaching turnover for the perrenial ACC powers all at once, and how much longer does Larranega or Hamilton have? oh yeah, facilities are outdated as well. It'll be interesting to see how another coach recruits and rebuilds the program. [/QUOTE]
