Even if SU doesn’t schedule UB for a couple of years, Boeheim will probably be gone after Buddy graduates. Scheduling them then won’t be an issue. As far as Boeheim being a sour old guy, well that’s been true for years.

Yes, but he's our sour old guy and that's what counts.

i just think it’s fairly obvious JB does not like UB, and plenty of that probably stems from Oats. You wouldn’t see him take this public otherwise.

would love to see a reporter ask JB if he'd like to play Alabama OOC next season.

Couple of things:

1. Upthread, there was referenced made to UB's "young" coach. Whitesell is like 60 years old, and is not unexperienced - he was HC at Loyola-Chicago for a number of years. That said, his hire (at least locally) was seen as an uninspiring one, and he's really done nothing to change that view. At his age, the UB job is not a "stepping stone" position.

2. I don't particularly care for Oats. I think he's overly brash and smarmy. The post-game trash talk (in addition to running his mouth after the victory against SU, he did something similar after UB beat Arizona in the NCAAs) is douchey, and IMO, the UB players who were running their mouths probably took their cues from him. Of course, Whitesell did nothing to tame their behavior, so it's on him as well.

the actual quote was "(relatively) young"

Exactly. The only way he makes that comment is if the trash talk went beyond what is acceptable. I have no problem with him calling it out publicly.
