I just have a hard time believing Bazely would’ve been some disruptive force on/off the court at SU.  Unless his camp would come to Syracuse to live as well and create drama behind the scenes.  I can see ultimately what OhioOranges mentioned as a scenario.  Bazely not wanting to go too far from his family or his camp not allowing him to go too far.

On the court.  So, Syracuse can’t make it work with lots of talent on the floor?  What about Duke/Arizona/UK/Kansas/UNC?  Teams with traditionally more talent on the floor than us.  They all make it work.  Why would Battle leave because Bazely is coming in?  Is/was Tyus expecting to hoist up 20+ shots a game and be the man?  What DID Boeheim tell or promise Bazely his role would be?  It’s possible that Bazely viewed himself as a savior of this offense (after watching our games all year) and it’s not out of the realm of possibility that the coaches did too.  Perhaps they told him he would have the green light to be a point forward and/or be the featured man?  Who knows.  I just have a hard time believing that all these guys on the floor together couldn’t make it work.  Other teams routinely put more collective talent on the floor and it’s fine.  They buy in, individual scoring numbers go down, and if they don’t they won’t play.
