No. Jim has won for his entire career. Dino had one winning season out of six. The program isn't going to change until Jim retires unless Jim decides to change things up. I'm very interested in seeing Jim coach post his kids. I truly believe that it completely skewed his roster management and in game decisions. Now that they guys have moved on i fully expect Jim to coach like he used to and to have better results. Buddy is a big loss Jimmy played his heart out, but he can be replaced. We need someone who can drive the ball and score from the guard position vs just catch and shoot or back your arse in and shoot ISO ball. If we get Mintz that is a huge help as he fills a major void. We also need one or two game ready forwards depending on what Cole decides. Obviously, this depends on Jesse returning which I expect he will.
Next years team is solid if Jesse comes back, Mintz is orange, Cole returns and Benny is back. Add a solid forward and we are back in the dance.
If Jesse was to leave, Cole move on, Mintz pick another school, and Benny bolt we are looking at the worst season of Jims career. Lots of ifs lets hope SU basketball has as solid an off season as the football program did.
