Message: [QUOTE="Sherman20, post: 5443759, member: 6357"] I agree that “Orange Standard” is so uninspiring. It doesn’t say anything about what the standard is. It used to be an elite standard but that was 10 years ago. So now it doesn’t really resonate. I disagree that we didn’t have an identity under JB in 2003 or any other year. If he had the horses and he usually did, JB always wanted long and athletic players to generate turnovers and steals in the zone and block shots at the rim and get out in transition and play fast. Syracuse teams were usually able to play fast because of our ability to generate turnovers and blocked shots. 2003 was one of the strongest teams to do that (think that Texas game) but also 2009-2016, we were elite to very good most years at doing that. As Mike Waters showed with the historical stats in that PS article. [/QUOTE]
