My take on JB having known him since 76 is the following. Jim runs and adult program. He doesnt go out of his way to be a father figure to the kids but ends up being so to many. He treats college kids like they should be treated as young adults. Syracuse has more programs and more help for their players than you can imagine. Every opportunity is there for them to graduate and be a success. Jim also treats his players on the court as adults. He simply tells them what they need to do to improve and be productive and than it is up the individual to put in the time and effort to make it happen. If you look at his lifes work with his players for the vast majority this adult approach works. For Fab and a few others who dont take the time to put in the work or just dont give a dam it doesnt. Fab made his choices not JB. Fab decided to be selfish not JB. Fab is the one with issues and has been given more chances than most college kids would ever get. Simple in my opinion he is a self centered child who never learned his lesson on second chances even when he caught a huge break after his "anger" episode with his girls friend. I hope that Fabs brain some day catches up to his shoe size but i doubt it. Time to focus on the team and to make this a magical run. See you in Boston.
