Not a shot at JB, but...

[tbonezone]

He is not going anywhere for a number of years, or longer, so get use to it.

he's not going anywhere. get used to it...

This years team is going to improve as the season goes on and people are going to start liking the new offense that Coach has installed. They will make the Tourney and return a solid team and fans will be hopeful for next season.

Before Boeheim, there was no Syracuse basketball to speak of. When he was Roy Danforth's head assistant, Roy's team won and went to their first final 4. Roy went to Tulane and never had a winning season and Jim took over at SU and has had 43 winning season's in a row. And he is going to get this years team playing good ball and have his 44th winning season.

So there is a reason his name is on the court.....

He came on Danforth's staff in '69 and the team hasn't had a losing season since. That's 50 years. Did his team when he played with Bing have a losing season? I can't find that info?

1963-64 17-8
1964-65 13-10
1965-66 22-6

So he has NEVER been part of a losing season on any SU team he has had a role in, in 53 seasons That is beyond coincidence and beyond remarkable. No wonder why the NCAA cabal had to try to wing him, twice, or he would have completely rewrote the record books and put Syracuse on their own level.

I will say this Hop and JB balanced each other personality wise, and I believe some people need a pat on the back and some people need a kick in the pants to get the best out of them.

With hop gone I think it’s pretty transparent which approach works better.

 

[Gabjon]

With hop gone I think it’s pretty transparent which approach works better.

I'm sure Bill Belichick would agree with you...

 

[AlpharettaCuse]

Right. JB won before Hopkins and after Hopkins.

 

[dasher]

Hopefully, Hop learned the value of adding a full career of Lafayette, SW Louisiana, Texas Southern and Cal State San Luis Obispo to his schedule.

Jb has the best record of any coach in the history of the Big east. I can also add the big name schools that JB has beat over his 44 years.

We all realize that. But we don’t have to like it or agree with the decision to allow it to happen.

Unfortunately, fewer and fewer kids today respond to the kick in the pants method.

 

[IthacaMatt]

We almost had him—and then we didn’t. JB just didn’t know when to walk away and had the hubris to think he could still recruit at the same level with the same results despite being 75 years old—and dealing with massive negative recruiting against his age and temperament. It was time to turn the page. Hop was going respect the past and all he learned from JB, while forging his own path with his own ideas (more pressing and man to man, etc). Mostly it was going to help recruiting because Hop has a dynamic personality and is someone kids want to play for. I was so psyched for the Hop era, it would have been an incredibly smooth transition, and then it all fell apart. If Wildhack has any sense, he’ll do everything in his power ($$$) to bring Hop back home.

I think JB has discovered that it wasn't him who was recruiting at all.

 

[IthacaMatt]

Well, if the stands keep looking like they did against Oakland, it won't be his decision much longer.

I'm not sure that is true you can't use the language that was used in the last, but you will always have players and people who perform better when they are a little PO'ed

 

[IthacaMatt]

Seattle media is as gentle as a kitten.

Yeah, and the Syracuse media are so rough, especially those Newhouse kids who he likes to mock and yell at for stupid questions at his press conferences.

Yeah, but you don't do it in the media. Pep Guardiola, one of the all-time great coaches in any sport, does not rip his players in the press. He does it behind closed doors. It stays in house.

 

[rrlbees]

For you folks that want JB out now, if that were to happen, the chances of Hop coming back after this season are about 0. In a couple years? Who knows.

 

[Gabjon]

I think today's player are use to the media/ social media stuff compared to players 30 years ago. Old school people probably have a bigger problem with it than today's players.
