In his final installment from Rio, Boeheim vaguely hints at coming back in 2020 for the Tokyo Olympics. I remember folks on here saying that he would only coach in the Olympics as an active coach. So, if he's thinking about it, it doesn't sound like retirement in 2 years is a sure thing...well at least while he basks in the glory of a third Olympic win. I think Hop needs to hire Gilooley if he wants the job here.

As to the on-court activities--

The more I watched, the less I liked Kyrie Irving's game. He has some jaw-dropping moves, but, over all, I thought his bad plays out-numbered his good ones. And, he surely is not a point guard.

Maybe he lives in Vincent "Chin" Gigante's old neighborhood.

Welcome home Melo

I don't know if an athlete has ever had an offseason that made them more likable than Melo this summer. And he was already my favorite pro athlete before this.

People knew exactly what Boeheim was saying. He was crystal clear the first time. They just needed something to talk about that day. Sports media is excruciating.

If the NBA held a one on one tournament, he'd be one of the favorites to win. But he's a tough watch. Lebron masks a lot of his weaknesses though, and he's incredibly dangerous when he's got it going.
