Well, if JW was looking (hoping) for such "hype" on the hoops side, then it makes it, let's just say rather peculiar, going the continuity route as he did with Red, especially considering how stagnant the program had become the past half decade plus.

We all recall his repeated and infamous [I]"equity"[/I] comments he made just one season prior to JB's [S]firing[/S], awkward forced retirement.

His stated this after hiring Red;  [I]"Autry has been exposed to every aspect of the sport, and that uniquely prepares him for the job. “Adrian earned this,”[/I] Wildhack said Friday. [I]“Adrian’s not here because he’s an alum, because he played here, because he’s an associate coach here. [B]He’s here because I believe he’s the best candidate to lead this program[/B] and sustain the success that coach Boeheim has established over 47 years.”

If things don't pan out with Red, or with FB on the field (where it ultimately matters most) Wildhack's credibility, IMO, won't be worth much.  He is the one who rolled the dice with both critical hires not possessing any actual head coaching experience and/or proven track record of success.
