i think another layer is that the best coaches were the ones that accumulated good rosters from year to year...thats how JB built his good teams and thats how a lot of coaches did it.

Now, its accumulating reputation that keeps you getting the one and dones...but different players year to year...

i guess it could be coincidence to see wright, k, roy williams all go out around the same time...

I think as Syracuse is concerned, JB is still trying to adjust his old tried and true formula to the current reality...might be partially why he's going for 3/4 star players (that might stay longer)...and didnt fill up his bench last season...and not going after 1 year rental players. its not a bad thought...aim a little lower on talent and get a group together for 3/4 years...it kinda worked for villanova and uva (although they still had good talent...just not quite good enough to leave early)...its a fine line and JB hasnt quite struck the perfect balance with it.

i think the mismatch between JBs formula of how hes always done it...the seismic shifts in the NCAABB and how those two dont align as they did before ...are where a lot of SU fans get frustrated...and why the program has gone through a dip lately...

For the coaches that have the model of building a team up over several seasons...its hard now. no matter how good they are or have been.  Even though the Dukes, kentuckys Villanovas etc still have best access to talent...they cant necesarily build a team the way they used to...its a weird era.
