I believe Boeheim is NOT replaceable, but eventually we should get back into stride once he leaves. I am thinking of Carolina's troubles after Dean Smith left. I am forgetting the name of his assistant coach who was promoted (Guthrie?) and I believe he was head coach for one year when he "only" won the NCAA championship with players that had been teed up for him. Not an easy thing to do; nevertheless, he was replaced with Dougherty who was an absolute disaster. I am not sure how many years he stayed at Carolina (3?) but it was agony big-time (I have many Carolina friends). They started slipping but then along came Roy and they are now creme de la creme again.

When Coach K goes, I am thinking there will be slippage but eventually someone will right the ship. I like to believe that we are a program of consistently high credibility and production, just like Duke and UNC. Players will continue to want to play for us because of the Dome, Melo Center, and our tradition of excellence.

But Boeheim will never be replaced. He is unique. It is right to quake a little.
