I was all for Red getting at least 3 years, but I really don't see an improvement in year 3. He was dealt a bad hand inheriting a broken program that dropped in prestige due to Boeheim holding on way too long, not going out recruiting the last several years of his tenure, and not moving away from the zone defense which a lot of top recruits did not want to play.

In the case of Duke and North Carolina, the former players now coaches, inherited strong programs that didn't need to be rebuilt. Only a veteran coach who is highly respected could have turned our program around quickly.

I'm worried that Melo will have too much control and say, and we might be forced to play  Kiyan ahead of certain guys even if he doesn't deserve it.  We should learn something about the downside of nepotism from the extra years that Boeheim stayed on to coach his son, and let's not even mention the embarrassment of LeBron getting his way with his not ready for "day time" or the "night shift" son.
