Was it a joke taken out of context during JB's talk with Newhouse students? Or is this one of the "surprises" JB referred to a while back?

I hate even posting this without knowing the context but thought it was interesting no matter what.

Yeh, I know what you mean. Looks like this guy is shooting straight in the other Boeheim quotes so I wouldn't doubt Boeheim is sincere.

We do have the personnel for it.

Well the Cubs might win the WS for the first time in 108 years, so anything's possible I guess. But I suspect we won't see more than a minute of M2M once the conference schedule starts. DC will get beat on a lob pass, get summarily yanked, and JB will have his reason to never speak of such heresy again.

Not that I disagree with the sentiment but DC got beat on a lob pass many times against the zone and in fact I think lob passes and backdoor cuts are easier against the zone than against m2m. I think what would happen is on the first play a guard would iso DC on a pick and roll and get an and one out of it which would shutter all talk of m2m for the duration.

Watch any game where the teams play predominantly M2M, and for long stretches it is like watching a lay up line.

Guards fault. Not enough ball pressure.
 
It wouldnt surprise me. We have 3 transfers coming in that could all start and all played man to man so theyll know how to play it. And Battle may start too. We may have 4 new starters so why not.
