Jimmy and Buddy

[albanycuse]

Anyone think he gets special treatment being the coaches son and all? I don’t.

 

[DonLightfoot]

Probably just the opposite. However, that may change if he shoots 50% from three

 

[OrangeXtreme]

You mean like free laundry, and he can borrow the car on weekends?

That’s an NCAA violation

 

[GooseMutt]

There is no man greater than Cuse basketball. Coach will play the players that he believes will win. Buddy will get what he earns just like all players have in the past

Is there an example of a Div 1 coach who gave his son more minutes then he deserved?

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Probably just the opposite.

Would be interesting to see a Boeheim get Boeheimed.

Anyone else think AC was asking about Buddy's brother at first?

Absolutely, Tubby Smith for one.

 

[Toga]

Boeheimed

 

[CuseTG2003]

Absolutely, Tubby Smith for one.

Tubby's son came to mind immediately. I'm sure there are others. Maybe Steve Alford's son a couple years ago?

Ronnie Thompson

Technically, hasn't he already been Boeheimed?

Todd Lickliter somehow found a reason to play his walk-on son 10 minutes per game at Iowa a few years back. Kid had no business even playing Division 1.

Yes. But by Juli. A much better way to get Boeheimed.

The problem with coaching your own kid is it can cloud your judgement. And you might have to live with his mother.

Not NCAA, but Austin Rivers

I think this needs to stop immediately. Or I have a warped mind and am imparting meaning to your comment that wasn't intended.

So, what you're saying is that if JB 'boeheims' buddy, there's a strong possibility that Juli will 'boeheim' JB.

 

[Col. Bleep]

Absolutely.
He'll get yelled at at home, too.

Haha! Maybe so. I was referring to popping him out as the act of making him a Boeheim.

 

[PhatOrange]

No. JB doesn’t strike me as that kind of guy and I think it might actually be worse for Buddy.

 

[DeGrozz]

I just hope Buddy doesn't show up with an "Earned not Given" tattoo like Brad Calipari did at Kentucky...

 

[ClamOtto]

The real question is whether we'll have more posters outraged that 1) Buddy spends too much time on the bench, even though he's he best shooter on the team, just because he's the coach's son or 2) Buddy gets too many minutes, even though he can't shoot, just because he's the coach's son. Could be a tie.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Think he gets redshirted if Battle returns and Hughes and Carey look good. His minutes probably have to come at the wing if that is the case and he likely isn't ready. Tacks a year onto JB's expected retirement date so he can pitch to a few more recruiting classes that he will still be around to coach them for at least 2/3 years.

When you are a fringe player only seeing short minutes JB does not have patience or room for error. Always a quick hook on those guys if they make a mental mistake. Thats where its kind of interesting. If hes only going to play 5-10 minutes a game what happens when he misses a three and then a rotation on D does he automatically sit for the rest of the night like anyone else would?

I think we'll see Buddy as more than a fringe player.

No, but I’m sure some drama queen morons on message boards/social media will claim that he is as soon as he has a bad game.
