Message: [QUOTE="Ozcuse, post: 1615345, member: 766"] I should have clarified on Bernie Fine I didn't mean from a character perspective, more from a 2nd in command/coaching tree perspective. I could have made the same argument when Bernie coached in Boeheim's place when he was recovering from prostate cancer and some questioned why he didn't get a HC opportunity elsewhere and if he may be in line for the SU coaching job. Back then we didn't know if Jim would go back in remission or decide there were things more important than basketball. I'm just worried now because Jim's career is almost over and this is plan a, b and c. That 01-02 team has a lot in common with this one, won early season tourney, good individual talent with fatal flaws, ranked in top 25 early, and a spectacular letdown. Hopefully we don't lose multiple talented players after the season like that one. [/QUOTE]
