Message: [QUOTE="JOC44, post: 2090290, member: 613"] One of the traditional strengths of Syracuse basketball is that we know who we are and do what we do from the start, which usually leads to the team gelling and playing well very early (but improving less than some other teams as the season progresses because we start at a fairly high level). I think the coaching staff underestimated how long it would take 5th-year guys who are new to the program to adjust to what we do. And the coaches took a while to adjust to what the new guys could and couldn't do. JB is right when he describes his team as starting a sophomore and four new guys. It's taken time, but I think JB now has the team figured out and that's a big reason why we are playing better. So sitting here today, I think he's doing a very good job with a very flawed team. As a great man once said, "You know how Boeheim do sometimes." [/QUOTE]
