I think the AP Tweet is taken a bit out of context

[BonaCuse]

If you read the entire article, I wouldnt exactly be putting the picture frames back up on the wall if that was my job.

If that's the vote of confidence they were referring to, it's not exactly reassuring.

I've always been confident JB would be fine throughout this, that statement is enough to give me some pause.

you are reading too much in to it. She said he was the coach, she is right. He is. She wasn't going to say anything like, JB will coach until he wants to. That ship has sailed. This is a wait and see thing. if something comes that shows that he knew anything about Bernie, or if somehow, something worse than the tape come out (hard to believe that) Jb would be gone. Short of that, he survives.

This is about as close as you can get to a kiss of death. Surprised it was being viewed otherwise.

What exactly do you want her to say no comment?

What exactly do you want her to say no comment?

If you just read the AP's tweet, I would think that he has some pretty good job security.

If you read this article and listen to the interview, I would think "He is our coach...as of right now."

 

[Orangemen]

What exactly do you want her to say no comment?

With a direct question, she's gotta say something. There's a lot of ways for her to go with it.

'No comment', means he's done.

'JB is our coach for as long as he wants to be' (AKA the answer from 2 weeks ago), means he's safe.

'JB is our coach' leaves her plenty of room to go either way. It's a PR slam dunk from her position. Really I guess it was her only smart response.

Now you've force me to talk myself back from ledge within the writing of one post.

Agree 100%, Dash.

Here's how the Post-Standard is playing it:

The AP article had a Cantor phrase that wasn't in the quote in the capitaltonight.com posting. The full quote per AP: "Coach Boeheim is our coach; he's getting the team ready tonight," Cantor said. "We're very pleased with what he said Sunday night, and we stand by him."

 

[Fairlylegal]

Never been a Nancy fan. Her endorsement means as much as it did when she stated Coach P would be back just a few years ago.

 

[Orangemen]

I must have missed the 'And we stand by him' part.

That's pretty solid.

 

[RF2044]

Taking this statement...

" "We're very pleased with what he said Sunday night, and we stand by him.""

...onto the end paints her comments a bit differently. Interesting that the article posted in the original link intentionally edited that sentence to exclude what else she had to say.

 

[bevosu]

Not a ringing endorsement, but we don't need that right now from any SU administrator in the middle (beginning?) of a criminal investigation.

It's time to sit back and wait and see how this investigation plays out. Statements from SU administrators need to be very neutral until some of these issues become clearer.

Cantor is no dummy. She knows the insurrection that would happen if she just fired Boeheim without good reason.

And then the bowl game happened.

 

[Garbs]

nothing to read into, as of right now he is the coach and they stand by him, but this story changes everyday..so hold onto your butts

 

[IthacaBarrel]

JB is toast IMO, after reading that

 

[Col. Bleep]

"...and we stand by him"

Until we don't.

And who exactly is "we"?

 

[arbitragegls]

...there can be no ringing endorsement at this time...facts still need to be sorted out and the truth with it...from my standpoint..this was a very favorable comment!

 

[cusetown1]

what is she supposed to say? He can stay here another 20 yrs?

 

[rrlbees]

An endorsement from Cantor?? : Paul Pasqualoni

 

[007]

"...and we stand by him"

Until we don't.

And who exactly is "we"?

Did she say we stand by "him" or "it"?? "We are very pleased what he said Sunday night, and we stand by IT."

Hollywood forced her hand in that one.

Right 007, "We stand by IT" is what she said, refering to his statement.
