Are we talking about the same Jim Boeheim, who had Derrick Coleman, Billy Thompson, Laron Ellis, and Stevie Thompson on the same team...and didn't win a chip? That Coach B? We are all nostalgic and yearn for the good ole days...this new era requires a different combination of factors to field successful teams...and what we think of as "great coaching", isn't as important anymore as is the ability to identify talent, have the ability to PAY Talented PlAYERS and retain them. With rosters changing every year, it is much harder to develop chemistry and develop future talent. Is Duke's coach a great coach? Who knows, it may look like that, but one thing is certain is that Duke keeps attracting high level talent and they only lose that talent to the NBA and not to other teams in the transfer portal. Unless we enhance our money stream, Syracuse like, many other programs, will continue to just be inconsistent and average compared to past standards, independent of who is coaching. That is a hard pill to swallow and accept...but that is what this current situation suggests...You can see it already in college football with the retooling of all the top teams...Miami..Indiana...Ole Miss- who has stolen our entire starting wide receiver group for next year- Why?- Deeper pockets!!
