Jesus...then clean house and be done with it.  If this is true, which I don't think it is, then we don't need a guy with no professional pride running this program.  You can be upset about your future prospects but it doesn't help you any to be resigned and resentful.  And heck, if not for your own sake, then do it for your alma mater's sake.  Isn't that one of the main reasons that people were on board with the succession plan?

If there is any "anger," it's either because Boeheim's lost this team and there's nothing he can do about it as his assistant or because he has no answers for what they're showing out there.  How do you obliterate the weak teams and struggle with mediocre ones?  That's mental weakness and poor chemistry if you ask me and not so much talent.  Hopkins bears some blame here as he's the head assistant but Boeheim's ultimately responsible.  Whether it's Olympic duties or too much delegation of recruiting responsibilities to assistants or sanctions, all together they spell benign neglect by Boeheim over the course of several years that's done this team in.

This program is way too valuable to the university to have it flounder for a couple of years with a longtime head coach on cruise control.  And it's unfortunate but this is where I partially agree with CousCuse: I think the program's recent track record should damage the prospects of a neophyte coach taking over for Boeheim.  I don't think Wildhack has had any in-season conversations with Hopkins about succession.  That would be wildly irresponsible.  But he should have them after the season.  There is no room for error in the ACC.  Spend money and bring in someone with a proven track record to put us back on the road to recovery.
