JB is coming on the show ESPN RADIO or ESPNEWS for the live simulcast and they have the SU helmet on their desk today. Good Pub, and it was hilarious when SVP smirked when he did an ad for the Louisville-Rutgers game calling it the ACC-B1G challenge for the Big East Championship.
 
- talking about conference changing, some people say "you'll adjust" but in a few years he wonders whether we will be in a better place than we were. Money wise, yes. Fan base, etc? Maybe not. Some teams aren't adjusting well or doing well money wise in new conferences. Regions are basically gone, it's been done for football and revenue, is that the right reason?

- lost three of top four scorers, how do you motivate yourself? Every year you're 0-0, there's no carryover. You're only as good as your next game. If you don't have that focus you won't be successful. You'd better get good players, then you can stay in this business awhile.

- lean on Triche because of trust? You can lean on him and Dirty, because they've been around.

And that's it. That may have been the shortest interview ever.
 
SVP asked about conference reallignment and moving from a conference you love to a new one? JB said its being done for money and that Maryland will not enjoy playing Iowa or Northwestern instead of North Carolina or NC State. Conferences used to be about location, but not anymore the expansion is being done for football. Is that the right reason for all this movement, JB doesn't know University Presidents/Chancellors know more than him?
How do you motivate yourself? You start off 0-0 each year and you don't get any carryover that is what keeps the team motivated. SU has a great staff and players. John Wooden told JB you better get good players if you wanna win.
Having a guy like Triche you can lean on him? Yes, we like to have veterans and BT and JS are good leaders and we have a good team.
 
ESPN cuts Boeheim short just to get to commercials? Geez...the worldwide leader...show some respect!
 
That was really quick. I think JB was late to the call so he ended up fighting against the hard break.
 
Kinda odd how short that was. Seemed to be literally 2 minutes into the interview when Van Pelt said "Coach, we have about 30 seconds...". Maybe he was a couple minutes late calling in.
