Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2007925, member: 716"] I don't know how he recruits and I don't know how he coaches (not, at least, in an objective way), but there's no way that a school like Syracuse should've given one of three assistant jobs to someone who was essentially unqualified four or five years ago. That was a foolish move by Boeheim. Maybe it had a high ceiling, but if his gut feeling was off, he'd be in a position where he either has to fire a popular ex-player with whom he's close or stand pat with a sub-par coach on his staff. Risky business, hiring of friends and alums. I think it's cool to have an all-alumni staff, but it shouldn't happen at the exclusion of finding the very best candidate for each position. [/QUOTE]
