My Questions for tonight's Jim Boeheim Show

[JeremyCuse]

Wow, Matt asked about the callers and JB had a funny answer and gave a nice compliment to Bored Historian Steve from N. Syracuse

Yes, said that he actually "researches" his information and doesn't try to tell the coach "how to coach". Still clearly not a fan of Pat.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Have a question regarding center recruitment I may try and sneak in

 

[Cuse1055]

Hulk Smash my line, I see what you did there haha.

 

[20plus]

I should call and say they need to run more offense thru buddy. Jim will hear that and put him up for adoption

 

[two3zone]

Hulk smash phone line!

 

[NineOneSeven]

Someone should ask if he still thinks its all on the forwards.

My only guess is they were letting gold wire shoot?

 

[two3zone]

Great call!

 

[Cuse1055]

Jimmy getting pissed now. There goes any chance of CR calling in.

JB says our guards are slow. marek is small. we can't play man. can't ever switch during a game.
it's a personnel issue. our guys can't play man to man. we can't win man to man.

Kadary, Griff, woody/Bras, QG, Marek

Solves the slow part. Front the post and pressure the ball. Could switch most screens with that group.

 

[Alsacs]

That answer was a major indictment on our players.
If they can’t play a lick of man to man.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Show is Back - Matt starts giving a score run down of a few ongoing games

Tried Alsacs again and there was again an issue, but they finally figured it out.
Alsacs asked a question about personnel and why we don't every switch to man when the zone is beign destroyed especially at the forward position.

JB says that this team is actually a good team for the zone and then gives a weird answer about if we could imagine Marek trying to cover a large and quick forward (as if he can cover these ACC centers).

JB says that this team actually does practice man to man but that "we can't play it".

Alsacs presses him on why we still can't switch it up when were getting lit up. JB says we change up the zone, says the players knew where to be versus Duke but just didn't do it in the first half but did in the 2nd. Says again were a zone team and then says that Tom Izzo is a great coach is a strictly man team.

Alsacs tries to say something and JB cuts him off and yells "Let me answer" Says you dont want to get beat playing your worst defense. Says were gonna play our best defense. Says what if we changed our d at halftime to man versus ND and we gave up 8 points quickly. Can''t change to something we can't do. If we were decent in man to man like 20 years ago we could switch. Our man to man everyday in practice, we can't stop the 5 non scholarship players in practice with it (paraphrasing).

"Just not gonna happen"

 

[Alsacs]

I guess you have to be SWC to be able to have a back and forth.

 

[JeremyCuse]

"We cant win playing man to man. I want to win more then you do, this is my life" That is playing zone defense.

"We change our zone just like they do in man to man".

 

[two3zone]

JB ranting

 

[Cuse1055]

If Pat calls in now I think Jimmy may lose it.

 

[JeremyCuse]

JB still explaining man vs zone debate and still talking to Alsacs like he is on the line.

"Epitome of bad strategy" in reference to playing man when it doesn't work.

 

[orange79]

Get back to me after 20 years of calling in.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Matt says there is a few more callers no hold but goes to commercial after JB wraps up his response to Alsacs. Definitely got fired up there.

 

[tbonezone]

i hope benny williams realizes he can't play man. too limited. too slow. probably why he picked CUSE.

 

[cuseattle]

Full disclosure:

This post in no way validates or endorses the prevailing board opinion that CR is in any way an incarnation or in any way related to this "Hulk", of which you speak.

And SUdreaming wasn't anyone else too!

If our main players can’t stop walkons in practice playing man to man, that seems real bad

I was going to say Calipari has played some zone this year, Bill Self has played some zone and they like m2m.

I think the producer muted me.

 

[OrangeDW]

I’m going to call in as CuseRunnerHulk and say something stupid, so that JB will have a grudge against Hulk...

Pretty sure they either muted you or ended the call.
