I can see that.

I would feel really awful for him if he struggles a bit, JB plays him a lot and the fans go bonkers over the situation. Some bozos would talk about how he's only a "walk-on" and only plays because of pops. There will be H0T Takes from the mouth breathers. There will be a lot of unnecessary comments about him, more than other players, by the people that don't like JB. I could see it being pretty bad if Buddy isn't a quality player from the get go, and that would be totally unfair.

Another layer involves JB's time-frame as the HC. Would this lock him in for 5 years? If he doesn't stay for 5, how awkward would it get for the next coach? All these other recent examples of coaches coaching their sons (McDermott, Alford, Beilein, etc) were a lot less murky.

There are some reasons why it may be best to get out from dad's shadow and the syracuse.com type 'fans' in CNY, but it'd be hard to not play for your father for the school you grew up around and loving. I just hope it works out really well wherever he goes (hopefully as a knock down shooter at SU).
