Mintz is an NBA talent and he must know that. He must also know that playing at Syracuse is hiding it from the country.

I’d bet he transfers and goes pro after next year. I don’t think NBA scouts like good talent on bad teams unless you’re looking like a Fultz, Simmons, etc

Kinda in a weird spot where you would want Syracuse to lose, but win just enough so that they don’t feel comfortable firing him just yet.

Oh man! They were so close! A win yesterday and they could've seen a path to the bubble! They should run it back. For 5 or 6 years.

This was fun back in december when UConn looked like world beaters. I dont even know if Uconn can beat cuse at the dome now. I think it will be a toss up

If you honestly believe this you have not seen them play this year. They are pretty bad
 
So how far do they have to go in the NIT for it to count more than their amazing 1918 & 1926 retroactive pre tournament Helms titles??

You do realize that their KP and NET ranks are right at 100, right?

We are struggling but Cuse is at a whole other level. Approaching Ollie dark days level.

And don’t just look at their record. Their OOC opponents were awful and the ACC is a dumpster fire this year, plus their ACC schedule basically has them playing every good team in the conference once and every trash team twice.

Cuse sucks badly now, but their worst days are still to come.

If they lose the freshmen to the portal…that’s going to be gasoline on the fire.

There are teams that give UConn trouble and there are teams that would not give UConn trouble….Syracuse is one that would not.

If Boeheim stays it will be interesting to see whether the freshmen they have care more about winning (portal) or money (staying) because Cuse is backing up the truck these days (not that I have anything against that if it's within the rules).

really looking forward to Syracuse going all in on Weitsman and then somehow someway having it blow up in their face.

Jim really should retire

We were them just a few short years ago. Couldn't believe what we were seeing. Although multiple major injuries every year contributed to that, and a bad conference didn't help

I'm glad to be back in the mix
 
Honestly, I would hate to see them become Georgetown. Though I doubt it. The Orange care about athletics. They are just letting Boeheim run out the clock. Georgetown would probably be a better fit in the Patriot and if it wasn’t for the money would be happier and with like minded institutions. And DePaul could return to its rightful place holding up the New Big East.

Syracuse and Beoheim are co-dependent. There is no better lure to Syracuse than their living legend. Without coaching, Beoheim begins counting the days to his death.

As this post makes more clear, you've evolved into The Boneyard's Boeheim, a crabby, out-of-touch, hold out.
 
Boeheim will retire soon and they will be build the program. It might take a few tries. It often does. But Syracuse, I wouldn’t call them a blue blood exactly, but they have been at the top of the game for arguably 100 years. They have been to Final Fours in every decade since the 70s, under 2 coaches. Been to the Title game 3 times. Never had a coach with a losing record. They will be back. But he has stayed too long unfortunately. It happens.

As I said above, For guys like Boeheim, retirement = death. While I recognize that he is probably hurting the Syracuse program, I personally have a hard time encouraging anyone in that direction. Did anyone fault Calhoun for returning to coaching after he retired from UConn? Bill Belichick said he didn't want to coach football into his 70s like Marv Levy, but here we are. BB will be 71 in April.

It's a two way street and selfishly, Boeheim should coach for as long as Syracuse will have him.

I would prefer this to Boeheim traveling west on I-90 to coach at D-3 University of Rochester, where his daughter Jamie played, even though some might think it's a good fit.

Consider:

Rochester remains a member of the Association of American Universities, from which Syracuse resigned in 2011, in advance of its being voted out.

Rochester was where Jay Wright began his coaching career, a little more than a year after graduating Bucknell, where he played on the basketball team. If only by coincidence, Wright was hired shortly after Dennis O'Brien became Rochester's 8th president, after previously serving Bucknell in similar capacity.

Rochester competes pretty well in the University Athletic Association, where this year it joins conference mates NYU, Case Western, Carnegie Mellon, Emory, and Washington (StL) in ranking in the top 7 within its own Region, and parity prevents any team from a Top 20 ranking, although the 8-team conference has only 15 total OOC losses.

What is the point of this meandering post?

First of all, it's a break from the angst-ridden, pessimistic, hyper critical ("No, we're just being honest") posting that displays an agitated mental state and emotional maturity profile that mirrors, matches, inspires, and/or is inspired by many of the same things that these posts and posters dislike when they recognize them in the words & actions of the head coach and some of the players.

It's like pre-school or daycare with the kids passing the germs around and taking them home to infect the rest of their family, and anyone who notices & questions this unhealthy pattern is labeled as a buzz kill trying to disrupt the pig pile of hijacked amygdalae in full flowering, all for the chance to put forth the most eloquent or hardest hitting take on, "We suck, and here's why I'm right."

More to the point of my first paragraph, I've always liked the Wes Bialosouknia nickname "The Poughkeepsie Popper." As a Rochester alum, I would be embarrassed if my alma mater's basketball coach got tagged with "The Palestra Picker."
