THIS.

It is literally an issue that WE created for ourselves, which exists NOWHERE ELSE.  
Virtually NO basketball programs have a "transition plan" in place.

Here's how it goes in the real world:   
Coach leaves (for whatever reason), University does a search, hires new coach.  
That's how pretty much EVERY school EVERYWHERE does it.

Why are we creating this BS standard for Syracuse, that is not being used anywhere else??  :rolleyes:

You want my bet?   JB lasts longer than Coach K.   
(who, BTW, does NOT have a succession plan, and that doesn't seem to be negatively impacting his recruiting one iota)
And probably Huggins too - it's not the years, it's the mileage.  :p

Here's a list of notable D1 BB coaches, by age (at start of season):
JB - 72
K - 70
Hamilton - 69
Dunphy - 69
Larranaga - 68
Ol Crying Roy - 67
Tubby - 66
Kruger - 65
Beilein - 64
Huggy - 64
Barnes - 63
Izzo - 62
Sampson - 62

ALL of these guys are old enough to collect Social Security benefits.
