This was not even two months after we blitzed Rutgers to the tune of 14 points in 90 seconds via the press. Choosing not to press Vermont was...questionable.
 
Not sure what my all-time best and worst Boeheim coaching moves would be. My three big quibbles with him have always been lack of emphasis on free throws, short bench, and poor clock management late in games. The first two don't lend themselves to an "all-time worst move" sort of thing (losing seven games by a total of 17 points as the team shot 61% in 1988 was excruciating, but not a "coaching move," per se). And the clock management - meh, those all blend together.
 
I will say that the 2000 Michigan State game - which often gets tossed around as a Stubborn Boeheim Loss - doesn't belong on this list. People offer that second half as an indictment of the zone; it isn't. We lost that game with a stretch of offensive ineptitude in the last quarter of the game - bad turnovers and Blackwell throwing up wild shots.
