Message: [QUOTE="amishboy, post: 5305815, member: 7797"] I know he's retired, but in his prime, I'd have matched Jim Boeheim up against any other coach in the country. The model of a great recruiter (consider the challenge of recruiting players to Syracuse, compared to Duke!) and a horrible coach. Just a reminder: his 1987 Syracuse team included Rony Seikaly (11 years in the NBA), Derrick Coleman (overall #1 pick, rookie of the year, twice All-NBA Third Team, 15 years), and Sherman Douglas (12 years); they lost the championship to Indiana, which featured the less-than-immortal Steve Alford (4 years), Keith Smart (2 GAMES!), and Dean Garrett (6 years).
