1) He‘s a brilliant coach. Full stop there.
2) My god. I forgot that ESPN will make this season unbearable.

Boeheim says he's going to coach into his 80s. Awesome.
Absolutely right on! Success isn't based on the school, it's based on the personality of the coach. Wooden, Knight, Smith, Williams, Calhoun, Pitino, Calamari. In every case, UCLA, IU, UNC, Kansas, UConn, Louisville and Kentucky before that, UMass and Memphis, all of them had down years after those coaches left. It's unbelievably hard to follow a legend. After a few years, some of them hired another legend and returned to the top. But history would indicate several down years before, and if, Puke gets good again. We can only hope they never find that legend again.So many dumb takes.
Whoever takes that job is doomed. Completely doomed.
Duke hit this one out of the park - you hire a forgettable alum who won’t cost you a fortune to buy out after his third mediocre year and then you hire your next real coach.

The media is already canonizing him. Someone needs to bring up the dirt.Great great coach no doubt. Was given way too much advantage by NCAA and ESPN but it doesn't take away from what he accomplished. Overall could be the greatest, but what we know he comes in 2nd to Jim Calhoun no matter where he stacks up.
The one-and-done buy in brought along a little disrespect in his late years but he did what he thought was necessary to stay near the top who can blame him. It will be painful to watch college basketball telecasts during the year for obvious reasons.
He claimed he is doing for the kids they were recruiting in the next few years. Of course.Talk about a narcissist. Announces before the season just to make sure he gets his A kissed for a few months before he walks out the door. How about you finish your season and then announce youre walking away. Isnt he always going on about "its all about the kids"?
Yeah, i think we all saw that excuse coming a mile away.He claimed he is doing for the kids they were recruiting in the next few years. Of course.
