'Next Man Up' Applies to 2014-15 SU Basketball Team (sujuiceonline.com; Goodman)
In football, a common mantra is “next man up.” It’s a simple philosophy, which basically focuses on the schemes and play calling of the coaching staff, essentially rendering the players much less important than the signal callers.
It’s not a universally accepted concept in basketball, where one player can carry a team, but for Coach Jim Boeheim’s Syracuse Orange teams it fits perfectly. It’s also the reason this year’s team can expect to be as good as last year’s.
Yes it’s true that at first glance, this year’s Syracuse Men’s basketball team appears to fall short of the standard set by previous teams, understandably putting some serious doubt in this team’s ability to finish among the elite of the ACC.
Well, even the most jaded Syracuse fan has to trust Coach Jim Boeheim’s plan at this point (myself included.) No matter who graduates, leaves early, or transfers, Boeheim has no problem filling the void. These same questions/concerns have resurfaced time after time over the years, and the man still won 20 games in 36 out of his 38 seasons at the helm, and a mind-blowing 25 games 20 times.
