Message: [QUOTE="Fly Rodder, post: 2017631, member: 2133"] I think so and one of the issues is that Boeheim is head coach, but he's got an definite expiration date, which makes him a lame duck (I don't know any nicer way to say that). However, he's still recruiting for his system and he's handicapped for a multiple reasons. One of which is that he looks for very specific players to fit the zone most of the time. That eliminates a lot of potential recruits right from the start. Add in that they recruit from a limited geographic area. Eliminates another group of potential recruits. Throw in the sanctions and some really bad misses (Chino, Diagne, Kaleb, Buss, BJ, etc.) and he no longer has the players that fit his system (lanky athletes and guys with 3-4 years experience with the zone). Next season won't be better on D and then it's Hop's turn. That scares me because I want to know that SU, as a program, is bigger than one guy and a very specific defense. [/QUOTE]
