“He took us all in a room,” said Mike Hopkins, an assistant coach and Boeheim’s presumed successor. “I don’t know exactly what he said, but something in the sense of, ‘This thing’s not about you or me. It’s not about you. We gotta do our job. There are things in life that are gonna happen, things that’ll take you off what you should focus on. You guys are going to school, and you play basketball, and that’s it.’”
That was November. It was the last time Boeheim addressed the issue to his team.

But players noticed a change in their coach. They’ve never seen him so fired up. It’s as if he channeled all these off-court distractions onto the basketball court. Sometimes, he’s told players he wants to win by 50. Another time, Jardine remembers a meeting with the coach when Jardine saw Boeheim cry for the first time. For the players, it became a rallying cry: Win for Coach.

Now that is something I thought I would never hear. In fact, telling the team he wants to win by 50 doesn't even sound like something Boeheim would say.

And here's the thing, fans of other schools wonder why any recruit would want to play for a team apparently in full reproach.
Well, because clearly the players love the school and, especially, its coach.
So suck it, fans of (not to name names...ahem...Kentucky)...
Maybe you'll be able to buy away Nerlens Noel if you're exceedingly lucky.

What a coincidence! I just got back from officially changing my son's name to Jekelish. Hey, it's better than Joe College.
