Thank you, Shenoxen! You have hit a chord with many of us. Just the other day I was trying to imagine the day Boeheim announces his retirement. I believe he will do it after a season is over, so we won't do a big hoopla for him. (In that regard, he will be disappointed. A huge hoopla will happen regardless of when he announces.) What will it be like to say good-bye to him?
 
I remember Gerry's last game in the Dome. The children's choir, breaking the attendance record, and most of all, the heartache of having to say good-bye. With Boeheim, I believe the heart will ache more and the lump in the throat will be bigger. There will be anxiety, too. Can we even imagine a game without him on the sidelines? Speaking for myself, I will feel a bit like an orphan.
 
I lived for 12 years in North Carolina back in the 70's and early 80's, and Dean Smith was a god there. Boeheim has not always been a god, but when he leaves, I bet the religion will begin. As Shenoxen suggests, we don't have to worship him, but we can certainly appreciate the man who made[B] [COLOR=#ff6600]Orange[/COLOR][/B] basketball what it is today. Let's go, Orange!
