[B]The coach doth protest too much, methinks[/B].

In the end Jim will be who he is and it's obvious that he doesn't have much of a filter when it comes to expressing his opinion or feelings. But that having been said, bristling at pointed questions doesn't do anything to quell speculation whether the speculation is founded in fact or not. It just gives it legs and draws attention to it.

The rationale that haters would have would be, " Why does it bother him so much if he hasn't done anything wrong". Of course as a Syracuse fan the flip side is "Wouldn't you be pissed off to be accused of something which isn't true ?"

My point is this: Jimmy doesn't do himself or the program any good at all when he let's his curmudgeon out of the cage. The danger going forward is that he starts being cast as a Woody Hayes or Bobby Knight type of coach who becomes unglued at the end of an illustrious coaching career. At the end of the day, things bother you only if you allow them to. Jimmy had deflected the question and weighed in on it just by his first take on the question. " I'm not answering questions about an NCAA investigation".

But you can see him simmering while essentially letting his auto pilot answer the Kaleb Joseph question... and then POW! The cage door beings to rattle and then it's time to RELEASE THE CURMUDGEON!!!

I'm looking forward to the complete report coming out and getting past all this and being able to get back to the real task at hand which is watching Syracuse Basketball be focused on playing basketball and not off the court issues being the story front and center.
