Here is what probably helped Chris more so than Gerry: better players, especially at PG.
Judah's PER was 20.5. JC's is 8.4. BPM is 4.2 to -2.3.
On top of other better players.
You trade just JC for Judah and I'm guessing Chris Bell has made more than just four of those missed threes.
This isn't GMac or JB. This is just talent on the court.
I respectfully disagree,
The one thing Boeheim always did well was maximize the talent he had and designed an offense and defense that worked.
And because he always harped on defense we were seldom blown out like last night.
He didn’t always have great talent but only had one losing season, and that was just barely.
Red has managed to minimize the talent on the court
it is telling that the only 2 passionate players are the 2 transfers.
And that Cuffe ends up quoting a story from the Kansas coach to try and rally his teammates
Gerry brought the energy and street cred as a national champion.
Now that he and JB are both gone from the program, that street cred, passion and flat out respect for the coaches is gone.
i really dont think Red can fix this.
Breaks my heart to say this.
i just dont think he has what it takes to succeed as a top tier head coach
