Actually, I'm not so sure about Bing anymore.  I was a Pearl lean anyhow, but Boeheim as a player, led to Boeheim being a coach.  After that, I am not sure how much weight Bing's having played here carried in relation to whatever magic JB used to have in him.  Are folks asserting that JB couldnt have built the program he did, if Bing hadn't played here earlier?  I'm not arguing, just trying to see if that is what folks who voted for Bing are asserting.

I didnt have a horse in the race when the thread started, and am not sure that I do now.  I think reaching enlightment is helped by not being attached to outcome.  It also seems that there is a shelf life on each of these names mentioned, as the program has bottomed out after each of them.  I think the exceptions to that may be Melo and the MUP(most underrated player ever, according to Boeheim) Josh Pace(and the rest of that team), and Boeheim himself.  Those are my observations.

Also, if we wanted to get very scientific, it may help our perspectives to ask the same question of various other teams to better understand the dynamic.

Maybe Mike and Donna will discover this thread and make a note on google calendar to write a piece about it in 6 months or so.  Just kidding, didnt they already do that?
