Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2079398, member: 716"] That's interesting; I agree generally, but I've always cited extending games with fouls as one of Boeheim's weaknesses. There have been a good number of games where we fail to cut a deficit by scoring and are left with about 80 seconds remaining and resort to desperation fouls. One of the things that left me encouraged about Mike's stint was one game (not sure if it was Wisconsin or another one) where we trailed and started fouling with about three minutes to go. Other things I'd like to see under Mike: consistency in using glass for shots from an angle, proper use of screens, proper setting of screens, consistent form for free throw shooters, and use of the correct hand in taking layups. Boeheim's got a gift that wins games. I don't know if Mike's got a gift, so it would help make up any disadvantage by instructing players on the fundamental skills that Syracuse currently doesn't teach. [/QUOTE]
