Agree 100%. I think the way Boeheim went out, the fan base was really excited to have a new coach come in and do some things Jim didn't seem to have it in him to do any longer (recruit, m2m defense, roster management, etc.). Jim over did his stay and most were ready to fully embrace Red. The bar was about as low as it has ever been (at least in my cuse fandom going back to the early 90's). How exactly is that impossible?

This is the second time I've seen something stated from within the Cuse program about success in their first year with 20 wins. Right there is a problem to me. If you think that's success, that's indicative of a bigger problem. If you want to say it was a good start or they did some good things in Red's first year, okay and I'd agree. In fact, most on this board applauded Red for leading the team to 20 wins with all of the off court drama that was reported. However, to say missing the tournament was success, I'm sorry, I just can't get on board with that.

What has soured me the most on Red is the last few weeks seems to be a lot of blaming of players and NIL rather than what most believe, coaching didn't get it done. The last few pressers Red didn't do himself any favors - he wasn't taking any accountability. I'm just glad it's over and we can return to appreciating Red as a great Orangemen who provided many outstanding memories (as a player).
