Even in the win, "We have to make shots."
There must be a clause in his contract that requires him to say that after every game.
Time to make up the t-shirts.

For all the mockery he takes for his negative antics during pressers and the pure gold they can provide, there are still some nuggets of gold in here for those with ears to hear. One reporter "saves the day" with his withdrawal symptom behavior in the final question where he asks about Quincy and Jesse. (grin)

A lot of nice things were said about players, and this song title seems to encapsulate how JB feels about Marek:
(I thought about the Cake version with the same title, but they played one Rocky theme during the game, so this seemed more appropriate)
Boeheim JOKES he didn't really see it when Marek showed him the "I'm tired" signal.

Really happy for JB, really happy for the team. Great win, I think they grew up tonight and fought through their slip ups as well as you could expect. Keep it going boys.

He is maturing before our very eyes. Not always pretty, but he showed cajones in OT. His teammates seem to rally around him too, easy group of kids to cheer for.

And it's sometimes not fair to him because he is my son.
But yeah, I'm not sure if Buddy will be happy with the pressure your quote put on him.

Actually, he said best in the conference, one of the best in the country.

If he doesn't want pressure he shouldn't be playing for his father...it is what it is they both need to embrace it

I agree, but some still might consider what you quoted to be a bit over the top. Heck, some might not even realize it's a quote(or paraphrase), lol.

It was possibly listed in the #NeverAgainSU(tm) demands from this that he never again leave it out of a presser! #AlwaysRemember/NeverForget psychology. #NeverAgainBoeheim!

wasn't a direct quote, but JB should back his player and back his son...

I agree and you're correct. The quote was "He's the best shooter in the (ACC), and one of the best shooters in the country".
You might also be correct that Buddy might not mind that pressure from the presser. I don't claim to know...just working off of what my own preferences might be at this point in time, which I guess could color my view of things. I wish I had a world view like Buddy's that allowed me to be predisposed to smiling so much regardless of circumstance, as the announcers pointed out today! If it's at all genetic, it must be from Julie's side.

Huh. Is he even the best shooter on the team? Is Buddy ahead of Eli again?? I know he jumped him for like one game.
JB really is a huge fan of his kid!

Understanding the The Passion Of The Boeheim is not always easy. He has given off the appearance of playing favorites before Buddy, so it's possible he may have still liked him as much even if it were not his kin. I'm not saying that is necessarily the case, but think it is worth serious consideration.
He was very generous toward Joe And Marek in this presser as well. It kind of reminded me of seeing a favorite TV character out of their element for an episode.

I know - it's just amusing as Eli has led the team (and by a decent margin until recently) almost all year, so the best in the conference statement is funny.
Especially as Eli (and JGIII) take a lot of threes, and deeper threes, with a pretty hefty level of difficulty attached to many of them in comparison to Buddy's attempts.
Okay, just checked, Eli was ahead coming in to today, so he extended that lead!
That being said, kid is a phenomenal shooter. I don't question that!

Good post, and I thank you for your service in looking up the stats.
Food for thought, maybe those gentleman could learn something helpful from that example?

Unless one were to make the mistake of inferring that best in the league meant the best on the team as well.
A person can truly love JB and still have fun joking about his pressers. It does not have to be one or the other, in my opinion.

He said he was the best shooter in the league....no? Is Syracuse not in the league? Confused.

Whether you meant it or not, that also brings into the discussion that game stats are not the only measure of deeming someone the best shooter, which could potentially vindicate Coach in the eyes of anyone that thinks he needs such.
