Coach Search Options after Autry

I’m confused. What fundraising did Boeheim do to ensure our future? Jim’s a lot of things, but forward thinking has never been one of them. This is a guy who didn’t want to join the Big East or play in the Dome.

You're half right. He didn't want to leave Manley for the Dome, but he was not against joining the Big East. He was strongly against the move to the ACC, but publicly admitted that he had no sway in that football-dominated decision.

Are we really at the point now where we have to root for Siena to lose in the NCAAs? Sounds like if he can pull the upset there will be a lot of pressure to give him the job over BH and the field.

expect a 16 seed, maybe 15 quite a longshot

I don't think a 16 or 15, 13-14 is my guess

I think there will be four worse teams than them. Some of these conferences are extremely weak, and upsets happen...

I think some people saw the pivot on the AD and are immediately assuming there will be an "out of left field " hire.
In my opinion, the new AD has already shared in the interview process his thoughts on the hire and probably had a dialogue on it with JW, Haynie, Lally, etc. I would think best available in the market is probably the "less risky " lane to take in the interview. If BB comes up with a wild unknown, then he potentially risks the interview. Syracuse has already played their mulligan with Red. Rolling dice on surprise candidate for hoops is to risky. JW probably has numbers needed from BH, Schertz and other candidate's agents. The simplest or perhaps more appropriate less risky hire who can turn the program national again is "blank". I would add with BB being a "football guy", inputs from Lally will influence. Given Lally link to BH therefore helps BB out of the gate fundraising.
To me, given data and circumstances it's highly likely it's BH. Especially with insiders saying BH.

Looks like it’ll most likely come down to the 2 people we've thought it would’ve for a while now

Zagoria is pretty accurate for the most part on stuff

We've been handed a gift this offseason: we're the biggest program making a change, AND one of the hottest up and comers wants us, specifically.

Imagine we go with GMac and we're ready to move on 3 years from now. We won't likely be the biggest school then, and our options are going to be even more limited. Hodgson will likely be beyond our reach, like Oats. We'll be looking back and dreaming about this offseason.

one 16 is Lehigh, won Patriot League last night, they'll be going to Dayton, so that makes only 3 16s left

Gotta assume LIU is another 16.

I will say, this is the first time in 5 years that I'll have a rooting interest in March Madness.

but if there was an “out of left field” hire, shaheen holloway would definitely be interesting. Still don’t think SU will go away from what we are already hearing but it’s fun to speculate.
