Presser will be must-see TV

[Cusefan0307]

So the 4 and a half minute mark forward, is JB saying Benny needed to be a part of that last play in regulation? That went from top of the key to the side opposite Benny?

Tell me I misunderstood it, please..

It’s what I heard. This is exhausting.

Boeheim doubles down on his lineup decision in the final 10 secs. Claims Frank was not involved in the game, didn't rebound (5 in 10 minutes vs. 7 in 41 for Jimmy). This guy sucks.

He used to actually look at the stat sheet in the presser before saying stupid stuff that can be easily called out. We need better follow ups from reporters.
Edit: Watching it just now, Waters did actually follow up about putting Frank in for the last 10 seconds.

 

[AZOrange]

The narrative about Buddy being doubled every possession needs to stop but it won’t. He’s not even doubled 33% of the time

So still much higher than his 3 point shooting %age

That is super alarming if Mike actually got the quote correct.

It’s correct, and it actually got worse, he further elaborated that he was “disappointed Benny didn’t help more defensively” when we went small.

So yeah, it was Benny’s fault.

The context of the presser was worse than the text, legit.

He's either delusional or gaslighting. Neither are acceptable for the head coach.

I'm officially on board with him stepping down after this year.

 

[Dinkyspond]

JB was pretty calm, like he is accepting this team has limitations and it is too late to do anything about it but hope to keep the winning season streak alive. I'm not seeing it. The streak is over in 21-22.

What concerns me is I don’t see how we’re better next year.

Jesse's 5th foul was because Joe was dumb.

3 and 5 foul on Joe.

So yeah, it was Benny’s fault.

He also said Frank was doing nothing in there

Look, Frank is still learning and does have a tendency to play flat footed on defense sometimes or make a rotational mistake. But his size and athleticism and his potential for a game changing stop or rebound makes up for any of that because Jimmy is so slow, unathletic and overmatched in the middle on defense.

Lol if you didn’t want to blame your kid then he should have just put Benny at 5

 

[two3zone]

How can he say “we played better with a smaller lineup”. Then said “I had no thought of bringing Frank in” (the last 11 seconds). Was he watching the same game.

 

[CardiacCuse]

JB should just start flipping through baby albums in his press conferences.

this would be sooo good

gotta win another game first, though...probably should do it in a win

its gonna be dicey if he will get the chance **fingers crossed**

 

[Orangezoo]

I'm not sure how anyone can watch this unfold no matter what lens you see the program through and not have red lights going off all over.

We can and must separate the man and his legacy away from the coach he is today and the state the program is in.

The formers are untouchable. The latter must be dealt with to preserve what he has built.

 

[CardiacCuse]

I think he's trolling us, tbh.

agreed. trying to disengage as much as i can

 

[Newhouser]

His kids have to be getting bembarassed by this no? I mean they know when they've screwed up and get a pass. They have to have some self-awareness no?

 

[Ghost]

He also said Frank was doing nothing in there

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? But for Frank we get RUN in overtime. Run.

That alone should be counter-evidence that he was capable of doing something in there at other points in the game.

 

[Cheriehoop]

This take is driving me BONKERS. So because Joe makes a terrible turnover, Jesse is required to make the dumbest decision of his young career so far. I’m so confused with this take. Joe made a horrible turnover. Jesse INDEPENDENT of that, made a far worse decision.

It’s worse though to compound a dumb decision with even a dumber one that takes you totally out of the game.

 

[Arangeman]

If he doesn’t retire this year his sons’ final college game is going to be in front of a half empty Dome. Announce it prior they will get 35k for the great Boeheim goodbye.

no, he's not watching the same game
He blinded by the crafty offense moves and 3 pointers and he's ignoring defense.

he did this last year as well until it hit the critical point then he went to the lineup that won and got us to the sweet 16. He doesn't have that option this year.

His pressers if I had to guess...he's gaslighting...which he did last year with the plus/minus nonsense and it cost us players. Let's hope he stops and we can move on next year and have a fresh start with Jesse, Benny, and Joe.

 

[CardiacCuse]

i think thats why they are playing pretty poorly tbh...buddy was 5 for 20 today...pretty horrific imo

Yep…

 

[rrlbees]

Need rrlbees to do his patented presser context checks

Haven’t listened to this one yet, but I will. The last one, people here certainly didn’t give an honest take.

 

[UpstateSM]

The narrative about Buddy being doubled every possession needs to stop but it won’t. He’s not even doubled 33% of the time

There is zero reason to double Buddy because he has absolutely nothing for any defender that isn’t shorter than he is.
