Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 1729844, member: 716"] If you're making a point, it's not clear. If mine was unclear, it's this: the rising tide of a Final Four run lifts all boats and has sent the two seniors off with a nice legacy. Had that run -- hardly spurred by Gbinije's play (perhaps the least productive five-game stretch of his season) at the point -- not occurred, few would laud the shift of a small forward to the point on a 14-loss team as a good coaching move. If we're here to talk about good coaching moves, I'd be quicker to praise Boeheim's use of Cooney as a driver rather than a shooter during the last five games, or maybe his second-half adjustments against Virginia. Gbinije as the point, as someone else mentioned, was a "best of a host of bad options" gamble; Boeheim wanted offense this year, and to him that meant giving heavy minutes to Richardson, Cooney, and Gbinije. The results were mixed, though March was exciting. [/QUOTE]
