Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 77576, member: 716"] Certainly a good development for the team. But I think the short leash has a lot to do with the opponent. If it's Pittsburgh instead of Manhattan and Scoop attempts that foolish behind-the-back pass (which I hope he never does against any opponent), I don't think he'll get the quick hook. Williams and Christmas (and the team as a whole) are fortunate to get extended minutes while we have huge leads (or at least in a game where we're likely to build a huge lead). Against better opponents, though, Boeheim's going to give his veterans a little more latitude in allowing them to play through mistakes. For the time being, he's drilling it into their heads that this is not the season to be making stupid mistakes. [/QUOTE]
