If he was so basketball smart he would’ve scrapped the zone in an era where everyone spaces the floor and shoots 28 foot 3s.

That may have been his ultimate problem.

The 2/3 was his strength. He knew how to coach that.

It was not necessarily the strength of NCAA bball or the strength of his players.

Literally, the game had passed him by.
 
I can’t imagine Boe-whine announcing games or working in the studio. He seemed to hold most members of the media in contempt; joining their ranks would be like sending his grandkids to college at Georgetown or UConn.

Neither guy really went out well.

Calhoun kinda hamstrung recruiting for a few seasons because he would tell everyone who would listen that he might retire in the next three minutes.

The Coach K or Roy Williams way is the way….either say it early and play out the season or just do it at the end of the year.

I think HooperScooper was simply saying, correctly, that JC went out on his own terms. Nobody forced him out.

Whether the way he left was good for the program is another matter. I think you summarized the consensus pretty concisely.

If CBS is smart, they are doing just that.

Say what you will, he’s one of the most brilliant basketball minds out there - and unlike most coaches or analysts, he pays attention to the game in general.

If there’s a 3/14 matchup, he knows the three seed and he knows the 14 seed.

He used to do a great tourney preview with Mike Franseca every year.
 
Surprised they didn’t hire Brad Stevens. No way he would’ve turned down the clementines.

Hate the guy, but respect him. 47 years living in that frozen hell-scape of a dump says a lot. If the university had any class (which it doesn’t), they let him coach for 3 years and retire out at 50 years with proper recognition.

I know, he left the program in such a state that it was a national championship at the first possible opportunity after his retirement.

That bastard!

I don’t think either of us have evidence but the idea that Boeheim is plugged in on 14 seeds seems hilarious. I do agree he would be tremendous content and CBS should hire if smart.

Curry changed hoops. Boeheim is running an antiquated system. And he was basically mailing it in with the defensive lineups he put out there. For years it seemed they were stacked with long kids with great athleticism. And then reliant on iso offense.

I think this will help recruiting for them unfortunately. Autry will seem like a breath of fresh air to recruits compared to cranky-pants.
And that will help the billionaire up there finally convince kids to take his million dollar bills.

Seriously, talk him out of that school. You will be throwing your money away.

If he has to live in that region, he will get a much better education for a third of the price at one of the SUNY's. Buffalo and Binghamton are great schools. My son graduated from Oneonta--maybe one level down from those--but he loved it and is doing great now. I paid full out-of-state tuition and it was quite reasonable.

Can't understand why anyone would pay crazy private school tuition for an inferior education.
 
Can you put him on tv and risk having him pick his nose in front of a national audience?

Coach K was all about having his ego catered to on the way out. Williams announcing after the season was respectable.

Agreed, couldn’t watch the media kneel to him. K will forever be remembered for being buried by his arch rival on his home court in his last game. He was then dug up and buried again by them in the final four. As far as I’m concerned, that rivalry ended with those last two games

The only reason to consider that is if he is specifically interested in a communications degree, if not then yeah you are right on.
