Boeheim says to speed up play have refs call fouls. Get rid of physicality. NBA game is more physical than college.
Boeheim on NCAA ban last year: "Players think about it.''
Boeheim says he likes his freshmen, "which is a good thing because they're going to play.''
Boeheim: I like our freshmen, they'll be ready to play. They all bring something unique, they're all good shooters.
Boeheim: "We have a lot of question marks and things we have to figure out. I like this team. We can be a good team.''
Boeheim said he doesn't set goals for wins, post-season etc. He tries to get team ready to play. "I don't think of anything past tomorrow."
Boeheim: "My good friend Bobby Cremins told me a few years ago that I'd get to 800-900 wins. He didn't tell me I might not keep them all.''
Boeheim: would prefer that Trevor Cooney take fewer threes this year. (He'll have more help.)
Boeheim on Gbinije: I think Mike's grown more than any other player I've coached.
Boeheim: Gbinije has improved shooting, ball-handling. He has to believe he's one of the best players in this league. And I think he does.
And Boeheim's session here ends. He'll speak in different setting with print reporters at around 4 p.m.
