I think that's right.  People forget about what a great game coach he can be when things go bad, like they have this season.  The game has NOT passed him by.

But I agree 100% that he's slipped some, due to age.  He just doesn't have the capacity to engage as much as he did when he was 10 or even 5 years younger.  He's an old man now, and he's also less tolerant and more verbose [and he was not very tolerant or taciturn to begin with].

We've had some years that haven't been as good as others [NIT years, etc.].  But we've never seen Boeheim fail, and I fear that's what he's in danger of doing this year.

And no question, things have been slipping a bit in recent years, in terms of the overall ability to compete and sustain a high level of play over the full course of a season, the sanctions, the scholarship reductions, recruiting, missing out on several key players, etc.

When you add it all up, it is probably time for a much needed change and an infusion of new energy.
