Message: [QUOTE="CU44SE, post: 4558089, member: 2196"] I read the entire interview last night. I don’t see it the way you do. Not saying I’m right or you are wrong. I just read it a different way. I took it as a guy making it clear that he will be done on his terms. The only reason people are wondering if he is retiring is because of his age. 95% of Syracuse wants him to keep coaching. All these other teams that have gotten good are based on NIL buying players and we don’t do that. (There was an article about that very thing just 2 weeks ago and now the newest recruit we got flew in to town with rappers if I’m not mistaken). He literally talks about this 2 weeks after we got a recruit because of NIL. Then talks about playing 3 top programs very close. 2 ranked teams and one unranked team. Well he forgets to mention the Virginia Tech game just 2 games ago where we got boat raced. What I’m getting at. He sounds like a guy trying to justify why he should stay on as coach and the disadvantages he has been at compared to other programs. 0 accountability on his part. He will not accept that he has done a poor job at roster management, keeping rosters together, and especially coaching. The game has evolved, he has not. He continues to do the same stuff over and over again that is not working. Blockbuster refused to change and now they are completely out of business. If you don’t adjust to the times you will just be passed by. The game of basketball has done that. Coaches need to change to be successful in this new era of college basketball. He doesn’t sound like a coach willing to change his stripes. It’s everyone’s else’s fault around him for changing with the times/rules. He screams like a “get off my lawn” guy. I will coach for as long as I want and no one else will make the decision for me. Nothing is wrong here. We are the same successful program we have always been. No one wants me to retire. [/QUOTE]
