JB brought this 'cold' ending on himself.    It's their choice it's their choice he inanely said in the press conference.

[I]“They have to make their decision and it’s up to them,” Boeheim said. “I hope we can make an agreement but that remains to be seen. Is that clear?”[/I]

Narcassistic right to the end playing the victim.  He thinks he's a martyr now.

What a shame he brought it to this.  He clearly didn't have a contract for next year and he wanted one.  He forced their hand by not going gracefully.  He could have and should have announced his retirement and then it would've been parades for days.

The University doesn't owe him anything at this point, JB cashed in that ticket when they allowed him to stay on after the last NCAA sanctions, a decision that also forced Hopkins to leave.

The press release and end result here wasn't hastily drawn up.  Autry had to agree to the promotion, because they couldn't blindly promote Autry yesterday without his approval and agreed terms, and that didn't happen in the Greensboro locker room.  This was already done.

It's obvious leading up to this over the past few weeks they had wanted Jim to announce his retirement and he just wouldn't do it, and after his bizarre presser they had no choice.

It's such a shame Boeheim just couldn't accept things and have done this gracefully.  Depending on JBs damage control here, the parades and statues are just not going to have the same feel.  I feel bad about it but it's really all on JB.
