Boeheim and staff are responsible for recruiting--but let's be somewhat realistic.  A lot of this is circumstantial.  I don't think that Boeheim [or anybody] expected Triche last year or CJ this year to go from shooting a respectable % from three to shooting sub-30%.   The offensive issue in 2012 wasn't lack of outside shooting [which was admittedly streaky], it was lack of low post scoring.  Last year, same thing--because MCW / Triche / Southerland were all CAPABLE of shooting, they just did so inconsistently.

Shooting is a problem, but a bigger problem IMO is lack of inside scoring.  Just like our ability [or lack thereof] to close out on shooters this season is a problem [whereas we were amazing at it when we peaked last year].  A problem with our offense was lack of experienced bench production, with a bunch of frosh who will probably factor in more figurally next season and give us more offensive diversity and outside shooting.

I don't agree that we have "no game plan on offense."  Nonsense.  I know that everybody wants to point at one thing as a magic bullet explanation, but the issues this year were multi-dimensional.  As previously stated, it was the personnel more than the system.
