Take aways.
1) Despite the critics, JAB provides encouragement to his players. They say so in their own words.
2) He is a players coach. It appears that he wants his players to shoot whenever they can.
Aggressive shooting, quick J's and dribble drive, takes precedence over set plays and working for the best shot.
If so, a lower shooting % is expected. Hence, the need for outrebounding the opposition. On our weak rebounding teams this could be a problem. For JAB's offense to work we need rebounding on offense and defense.

I'm not a subscriber but was able to read it. That said, I didn't learn anything that hasn't been discussed on this board or in Boeheim's presser.

First time this year's team members are quoted saying that Coach provides encouragement.

2) "he wants his players to shoot whenever they can." Except when he doesn't, and then there is a bench seat waiting

Or in the many dozens of podcasts that former players have done with Devo and Mike Waters.

Not true, generally. Quit watching Boeheim for five minutes and focus on the opponent. Watch the opposing coach not pull a player out of a game for his first transgression.

Maybe you should focus on Boeheim more. He’s not really doing that this year, unless the transgression is egregious.

They all have shots that are in their “wheelhouse”. Unless Jim has a specific play he is running, with the intention to run something off of that later in the game, he wants guys taking good shots they can make. Jessie should not be hoisting 3s, as an example.
Remember his SU teams were run and gun.

Jim has always taught “in the moment”. That’s who is is and what he does, particularly with “role” players. I don’t always agree, but it is what it is.
