Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5644764, member: 628"] I don't think there were any conversations about Red. Red was simply the best option to get JB gone without rupturing the relationship with JB and a lot of fans. It's easy for people to say that Wildhack should have just fired Boeheim and bring in new blood. But I sometimes think people don't realize how different the perspective is on this board vs. the broader fan base. Even by the end of the 2023 season, JB was still very much beloved by a majority of fans and alums. If you outright fire him then you also sever the relationship with him and SU, perhaps forever. That's what's going to happen with Red. He's going to be let go and we may not see him again for a couple of decades. It's one thing to do that with him, but it's quite another to do it with the legendary head coach who still influences a lot of funding for the school. [/QUOTE]
