Message: [QUOTE="pokercuse08, post: 4582748, member: 6535"] This is part of the problem for Boeheim. He'd recruit talented players overall or talented athletes that fit the wings (giving him a recruiting edge in that he could get more value out of a group of players other schools might ignore), then force feed them the 2-3 zone. If they didn't like it, they'd sit. You wanna sit out a year and transfer? Be his guest, lose a year of your prime playing/earning potential if you're good enough to go pro someday. Now, they can hop in the portal and play somewhere else the next year. On top of this, the game has changed in ways that make the 2-3 less effective AND some of the athletic wings that used to get less attention now get more attention if they can spot up and shoot 3's. Basically, he was ahead of the curve for a while, but now he's behind it and he's become an outdated one trick pony. [/QUOTE]
