BTW: Tony Bennet looks the same as he did during his playing career. Kinda creepy. Age like the rest of us!!

JB "lead" us to the elite eight like Craig Forth lead us to the national championship.

Jim Crews is crazy. Those Bob Knight acorns don't fall far from the tree.

He did open the scoring in the title game! Maybe Boeheim was a hard worker like Forth/BMK and lead his team in that sense?

I think Forth was a great role player...my original point was that I thought it was kind of inaccurate to.say that JB lead that team to the EE.
