True. I don't think anyone saw, a year ago in October, that either Grant or Ennis would leave, let alone both. And it was also expected that Coleman would be available at least at some point during this year. The worst case played out in all three situations, and the effect of that was made even worse by McCullough's injury. I expect KJ's relative non-performance came as a surprise, for I'm sure it was anticipated he'd play better. Probably nobody out there is happier this year is over than he. Anyway, it's just too much to expect there to be a remedy for all of that, especially when recruiting decisions are regularly made well in advance. Two early departures, two catastrophic injuries, and a virtually non-contributing player. Cumulatively it was just too big a hit for the program to withstand. So we ended up in what, only the third non-20 win season in Boeheim's tenure? Even at that, it's on the heels of 5 pretty good seasons in a row. I think also one of the unstated positions around here is that we were all hoping for a rebound from last season's fizzle-out, and that didn't happen - it really only continued. But that the hell, at least it happened in a season in which we weren't going to the post-season anyway. And we don't have to endure the ignominy of the NIT. At least the bread fell jam-side up on [I]that[/I].
