Message: [QUOTE="elimunelson, post: 5283869, member: 615"] most coaches don't survive one probation mind you. The program genuflected to Jim Boeheim. Some of it justified because he was loyal and won. But after the second probation and the wacky Bernie Fine story, it got to be a bit of a daily drama with the program. Jim also got supremely cranky during this period above and beyond the loveable crankiness he exhibited in the 80s/90s. The fact that so many people failed here is the part that blows my mind. Insiders, boosters, board of trustees, athletic dept, etc. Was the hoops operation run like Scotland Yard and no one could see the dsyfunction in there? Red getting another year after this one is the classic "we can't fire him yet because that's what the manual says you can't do" . Alabama, Kentucky, etc would fire their coach after this incompetence. We need to act like a program that demands some degree of excellence . ...maybe Studigor was...right (ducking lightening bolts) [/QUOTE]
