Ode to James Arthur Boeheim

[DoctorBombay]

What a great effin' Coach you are!
I don't always agree with everything he does, but more often than not, he leaves me feeling stupid that I'd ever doubted him. We are so effin' lucky to have, and to have had, this guy here. When he gets on a roll, this guy can do anything. Let's keep it going! LGfrickenO!

 

[longislandcuse]

I still have my criticisms but in a vacuum, this year, with these guys... hell of a job turning it around by JB.

 

[Janner]

He was obviously just keeping it close to boost his winning % in games decided by 5 pts or less. Duh.

it’s all or nothing around here

Coach fixed the offense. College hoops if you can score you will win games as offense has regressed nationally.

We are one piece away from being really good.
Gotta give all the credit to Jim Boeheim.

It's not just that we are winning. I didn't expect that. But we are actually fun to watch. My goal before the year was that we have a winning season to keep our winning streak alive and to be a team that we really look forward to next year. We are on our way for both.

If we make the tournament I will buy a rotisserie chicken and eat it like it’s crowe.

Boeheim needs one defensive big and this team is dangerous.

AMEN on that second point

No No No Callahan, You will find a store that sells crow.

Post of the year!

I could embarrass 90 per cent of the people here .. by copying and pasting their posts from after the Virginia Tech game at the Dome.

Hey man, you’re the one that once said local JV coaches run better offenses, lol.

I mean...I’d do that anyway. That’s not a punishment. Rotisserie chicken ain’t bad at all.

Boom roasted

 

[Alsacs]

As long as you are consistent and give credit when it’s due I really don’t care about previous stuff.
I call it the way I see it. Don’t sugarcoat.
JB has clearly improved the offense on the floor. Defense isn’t as consistent but it won this ND game.

We need a defensive big. Players development has been outstanding during conference play. The players are getting better.

I don’t where I can find crow. Maybe I will get a goose or something.

 

[orangedave]

Might be plenty of people on here willing to give you a goose.

Bit off base. I am sure JB is happy to win by 5 or less but I am absolutely sure he would be happier than cow turds to win by more than five!!!

I think it's just a fun reference to this great thread about JB's winning % in close games.

Definitely agree about the cow turd happiness level.

 

[SWC75]

He adapted his offense to the skills of the players he has.

It's helped him overcome an NBA defection, red-shirting a guy, a hand injury to his point guard, a broken nose to another guard, an ankle injury to a third, and shutting down a forward because of shin splints.

FINALLY picking up the pace and getting a little ball movement has been huge. We can’t win with the zone this year so it was time to try relying on a strength, our outside shooters. JB finally took the rock off the break and we’ve had some improvement. Still a ways to go since we were so far down and lack good wins but I’m getting pretty confident the .500 streak won’t end.

This board mirrors our society. It’s what have you done for me lately and by lately I mean the last two or three games.

Even when we were losing i didnt see us as this bad of a team. Offensively there were huge signs. Especially against Goergia Tech and some smaller schools. We showed signs. And when we went into conference games we were playing tough hard fought games and should probably have won some. I think this team just needed confidence and chemistry and they have it now
