This is the primary thing I will not miss when Boeheim retires.  There are 3 things that bug me about his approach -

1.  Trashing players in press conferences and breaking them down, when some of them need to be built up (you would think he would have developed better communication skills after all these years working with NBA all-stars on the Olympics team...)

2.  Not really coaching any kind of sophisticated offense.  It seems like we keep things really simple on offense so the kids play naturally and are not over-thinking things.  But sometimes you need more sophisticated offensive plays than we seem to have in our repertoire, especially when you do not have the one-on-one talent to beat the opponent.

3. If you are only going to use the 2-3 as your base defense, then spend enough time teaching a zone press that doesn't get torn apart by teams who have more than a couple adequate ball handlers.  It's hard to get back into games when your press is really just an invitation to the other team to run up and down the floor faster.
