I hear what you are saying.  And you are right...coaches at this level aren't the most flexible or cooperative types you will run into.

I am not saying there is a choice (there isn't) or that there ever will be (there probably won't).

But what if JB (it won't be him, it could be the coach after or the coach after that) was told he could have the aging dome, with the bad config for basketball and almost complete flexibility regarding when practices and games are played, or a brand new facility with state of the art amenities for fans and a much better seating config that makes for a much stronger home court advantage and happy fans (with so many seats moved markedly closer to the court).

And what if the SU football HC (hopefully a gracefully aging Dino Babers) was given a similar choice?  An aging dome with no frills versus a brand new facility with state of the art bells and whistles (a great scoreboard, great replay boards, a retractable roof, etc.).

Do you think that looking at the big picture, the coaches might be more amenable than you imagine they would be to change?

Sports facilities are so expensive.  SU and the county both have major needs here.  If all the parties involved could pool resources and work together, the result would be far better than they would get working separately.  That is the only reason I think there might be a small chance this could happen.
