Message: [QUOTE="Spock344, post: 1663539, member: 4635"] Your post is a joke... Classic case of having blinders on. He's in Hall of fame because he took a job at Syracuse whereby the carrier dome attracted all the top talent, whereby any coach off the street could've stayed as long as he has, and rack up wins. The kids came to play for the dome, and big east, and national tv... Not because of Boeheim. And he's reaped the benefits of all future players Since its inception... And still he manages to flame out in most years... 6 elite 8s in 4o years is elite coaching? With the talent he's been given all these years??? What a joke. He's coached on the Olympic team cuz his buddy-buddy relationship with coach K... Who btw is a much better coach than jimmy. An Olympic, hall of fame coach would know when to change out zone or try different things, or make halftime adjustments at both ends of the court. Not just do the same thing every game. Tell me what game adjustments he makes? I'd love to hear... Btw, Carmelo won the title, not jimmy. There's nothing jimmy did to coach that team to a title. It's like saying anyone who coaches Lebron James had an impact on how James plays or what he does on the court. I could coach Melo n get the same result. 40 years... so what? He's been a decent coach, but wouldn't have been playing in the Dome all these years?? What other school would ever want him as a coach? Tell me when he makes a top 10 lists of top coaches in the sport, or is even mentioned. He overachieved in 1996 (more or less got help with Drexel n Georgia giving him a relative "easy" walk to the elite 8). And you make excuses why we got out rebounded... "It's what Pitt does"???? Gimme a break. It's what they do cuz jimmy doesn't switch up defense or try anything else to be able to box out. How many games does Pitt routinely out rebound opponents by 20? Go find em. Or maybe other teams realize how to counter Pitts rebounding. And if I were Roberson, after jimmys remarks, I'd tell him to off, and either transfer or not bother to play for this clown of a coach. Show me other coaches who completely trash their players like that. Pitt being a terrible matchup is more excuses. Basically, you're saying we just expect to lose to em, so no big deal. Dixon being 7-2 in the dome is perfectly fine. There's nothing we can do to win. Lol. How bout you adjust your game plan to Pitt instead of doing the same thing every game! I don't care about Pitt goin to a final 4. Compare Pitt talent n recruits to jimmy so over the years. Jimmy vastly has the better recruits on paper. Dixon owns Boeheim. Period. And Boeheim just places blame on anyone but himself. He's a complete a-hole with local media most days. The game has long since passed him by. I fully believe that the bigs just sleep through any practices because clearly your HoF Boeheim hasn't developed them since they first arrived on campus as freshmen. Otherwise we would have a basic inside game. [/QUOTE]
