Message: [QUOTE="moqui, post: 2459969, member: 214"] you are entitled to your own opinion, but not to your own facts. your entire argument is willfully shading things to the negative and blatantly ignoring key facts. don't want to waste too much time on it, but just a single point for now: 2014 we landed [URL='https://sites.google.com/site/rscihoops/home/2014-final']consensus #52 ranked kaleb joseph[/URL] . . . . sometimes point guards don't work out (e.g., josh wright) 2015 we landed [URL='https://sites.google.com/site/rscihoops/2015-final']consensus #79 ranked frank howard[/URL] . . . . sometimes combo guards take a while to work out as points (e.g., scoop jardine) 2016 we landed [URL='https://sites.google.com/site/rscihoops/home/2016-final']consensus #31 tyus battle[/URL], who many thought could be turned into a combo if not a full fledged point. turns out not so. so, we actually missed one cycle - quade green - not three. and even there made a rebound to get washington you are wedded to the idea that boeheim is past his prime. you may be right (i don't think so) but i'm not going to buy the argument when you willfully mischaracterize key facts. i look at history: a decade ago, we had similar issues. billy edelin flamed out, josh wright was not up to the task, and we were forced to play 2 guards like gmac & devo at the point. consequently went 4 years without an ncaa tournament win, back to back nit appearances, and many in the hoi polloi were calling out jb as being past his prime and time to make the change. next thing you know, we hit our golden age. let me be clear: i happen to believe that boeheim should have been fired after the last round of sanctions. i think the culture of the program needs to be changed. but i don't think there is strong evidence that the game has passed the man by. he remains one of the finest minds in all of college ball, and i expect the next five years will prove it.
