A lot of people, myself included, aren't going to really appreciate how good we had things until JB retires.
Jeez, I don't know. I think a lot of real fans appreciate him now. If not, jump on the bandwagon.A lot of people, myself included, aren't going to really appreciate how good we had things until JB retires.

Igor definitely carries the banner, but you could go back as little as 5 years ago and find plenty of people who saw more of what Boeheim hadn't accomplished than what he had. Sad really.
Well you can go back 5-8 years and find many prominent posters, including a couple of admins on this site, who thought JB was over the hill and maybe it was time to move on (BTW, you can expect just about everyone of them to deny it now - human nature). That was because SU was doing really poorly in the NCAA and wasn't exacting burning up the reg season either. In other words, the doubters had some justification.
Hah, thanks. I've been mostly a lurker and very occasional poster on these boards going back to the AOL days - I think it was the Winfred Walton saga that hooked me. Just took this post to actually work up the energy to post on this iteration of the board.Nice first post. And welcome to the paradise of basketball forums.
Ummm...no Jim, more like a made woman...is there even such a thing?You have become a made man!
So your man to man defense would not challenge perimeter shots?u can't challenge every perimeter shot and not give up multiple chances per possession. .
I think it's even more interesting than that.
Before 2003 it was he couldn't win a championship. Then he did.
no he didn't; Carmelo did. I know it was Gerry hak craig or kueth. well, they were all here before or after. great players don't win every minute of every game, but usually does something significant to
make a difference..

Hey genius: every coach in the modern era has needed an elite player (or two) to win it all.
nobody in the history of espn has been as good as carmeloHey genius: every coach in the modern era has needed an elite player (or two) to win it all.
stats are for losers like u. in his elimination game, he was a long distant gunner.Durant was only better in every statistical category at Texas.
I thought was Johnny Flynn. Maybe it was Michael Jordan. Was it Len Bias? Isiah Thomas? Akeem Olajuwon? Clyde Drexler? Patrick Ewing? Alonzo Mourning? Ethan Cole? Sam Spann? Major Hyperbole?nobody in the history of espn has been as good as carmelo

Boeheim is a better coach than he was five years! The changes he made to the zone in the 09-10 season were brilliant!

Before 2003 it was he couldn't win a championship. Then he did.
Then for several years after that, it was he never had a team that was dominant wire-to-wire - even his best teams were 2 or 3 seeds. Then he got a 1 seed two out of three years.
Then it was his teams kept hitting the ceiling in the Sweet 16. Now he's made it past that two years in a row.
He's not perfect, but he's had a career that probably fewer than 10 coaches could match. And he's basically not had a bad team in 30 years, which is the one record that might never be matched.
