I woke up this morning with the exact opposite thought.  Name a college basketball coach that has done more with less?

How can you say that the coaching hasn't made many in-game adjustments?  Right after the Louisville game, a very good friend of mine -- VaTech grad -- texted me the following.. "How do you guys get teams to play like s to end games.  It's crazy watching your games.  Boeheim has always been known for his matchup 2-3 zone.  You guys aren't a press team!  Everytime Boeheim switches from zone to press, teams literally just crumble.  Your press may be better than WVU's."

Under Boeheim, the Orange have never really had an offensive identity.  Boeheim's offensive philosophy is heavy guard dependent.  His offense needs a floor general type PG to create.  The beautiful thing is that they've never needed an offensive identity.  The defense is as strong now as it was 10-20 years ago.  Honestly, given the run to the Final 4 last year and the way this season has played out, I wish Boeheim would change his mind about retiring.  The game hasn't even come close to passing him by yet.
