I will be posting my rough transcript the night of the broadcast focusing on my questions, the team and their last and next games and then a second post the next day on other things that were discussed.
MY QUESTIONS/COMMENTS
First Hour:
“Coach, I’d just like to pay tribute to the accomplishment of securing our 50th straight winning season. That’s a special achievement because that’s the longest streak in the country and the second longest in history, (UCLA 54 from 1949-2002). It unites all the coaches, players and fans who have contributed to the program over the last half century in one achievement. All the teams have been part of one team: Syracuse and there’s a real sense of it being a family of players that continue to bleed Orange. It’s gotten us through 50 Central New York winters and put this community on the map nationally.
I still have the little pamphlets that passed for SU’s Media Guide at the beginning of the streak. You and Bill Vesp were Roy Danforth’s assistants. Coach Vesp coached the freshman team to a 17-1 record, led by our future police chief, Dennis DuVal. You had coached the freshmen the year before and now were assigned to be the lead recruiter. This was the “Roy’s Runts + One team: our center, Bill Smith was 6-11. Point guard Tommy Green was 5-11. Shooting guard Greg “Kid” Kohls was 6-1. So was forward Mark Wadach, an amazing rebounder for his size. The other forward was Mike Lee, 6-3, who is less remembered than his younger brother Jimmy because of Jim’s 1975 shot against North Carolina but was more of an all-around player and one of the most under-rated players in SU history. I also remember Chuck Wichman, who make a spectacular lay-up to beat Niagara and send us to the NIT, a much more prestigious tournament then than now, (it was won by 13th ranked North Carolina with Charlie Scott, a team that went 26-6). Chuck did the same thing to a highly ranked Fordham the next year.
They were the ones who got it started and thanks to Elijah, Buddy, Marek, Joe, Bourama and the rest, it’s still going on today.“
Second Hour:
“Coach, I know you are focused on Miami but it’s the last show of the season and this is my last question so I’ll ask about next year. You figure to have 13 recruited scholarship players with varying skill sets on the roster next year. You said earlier that this is being done to protect the program against defections and injuries. You’ve also said that you still want to have a rotation of your best guys for continuity and so that when other coaches use their bench, you can match your best players against less than their best. I look at what Leonard Hamilton has done at Florida State. He seems to use the whole roster with little drop off. It helps him deal with foul trouble, fatigue and injury. It might also help with recruiting. How does he make it work as well as it does at Florida State and could such a system work here?”
