It isn't a straw man -- at all.  That's why top coaches like Jay Wright, Roy Williams, and Coach K decided to get out.  You can literally draw a line of demarcation from 2020 onward, when the NCAA fundamentally altered collegiate athetics after COVID.  The landscape had changed dramatically, and those iconic coaches didn't want to put up with that stuff -- it was less about basketball than before.

Also, Boeheim himself admitted shortly after he stepped away that his defensive system hadn't adapted to the way the game had evolved.

But, some want to pretend that Boeheim could do no wrong.  Mularkey.  He was great, until he wasn't.  And it's OK to admit that.  That there were a multitude of reasons why his performance dropped off so dramatically doesn't make it any less true.

I don't think anybody could say with a straight face that the program's performance didn't nosedive after 2016, and it wasn't just because we didn't land a player or two.
