This in a nutshell^^^
Once again folks get caught up in the “ they weren’t that good” POV, like somehow that can explain Buddy “Jordan” Boeheim, & Joe “Isiah” Girard getting 36 mins every game.
Fair enough, they weren’t that good. But they weren’t BAD enough to warrant a seat every time they made a single mistake, while our two HOF-like starters were throwing up 36-footers at a clip, and going 1-9...and STILL weren’t getting subbed. Not to mention offering little to nothing on the defensive or rebounding end.
If I’m sitting on that bench, just having had a decent measly few minutes like BG did at ND, and still don’t sniff another second in the 2nd half, you’re damn right I’m gone. 
JB’s bench usage numbers, last 7 years, are among the worst in the country. And no need to cue the “yeah, but we went to two F4s” contingent on this one- I agree that was an amazing feat. But those 2 things CAN be mutually exclusive- it doesn’t always have to be one or the other. 
We’re trending downward because JB still coaches like he has 5-stars across his roster, and guess what, he doesn’t.
BB and JG played too many minutes, while every other guard played too little, especially BG. Hence the exodus.
Will the old man be flexible enough to change things up moving forward? Doubt it. But Buddy graduates in 2 years, so there’s that...
