Continuity is only relevant when you want to maintain the status quo.

Boeheim is an institution.  I don't know if he belongs on the Mt. Rushmore of all time legendary coaches, but he's definitely in the top 8.

The problem is that you can almost separate the first 40 years, and what's transpired since.  And while it is fine for people to wax reverentially about the first 4+ decades, they also should be objectively realistic about how the program has slipped over a multi-year span of time.

And given said slippage, this is not the time for continuity.

People are too afraid of change.  Sure, bad things can ensue. But change is also an opportunity.  And given that the program isn't performing at a level anyone is satisfied with, there's no reason to strive for continuity, or to maintain the status quo.

Simple as that.

And acknowledging such isn't a slight to JB's accomplishments over the first 40 years, but it IS a direct response to the subpar performance over the last ~7.
