Let's state that the likely plan was for JB to quit after next year, but with another Olympic 
gold medal, his 1000th win, a better year, and previous statements of him not wanting to go
on a farewell tour, that it would not have been a shock for him to take the mike at the end of
the SU-GTech game and announce that he was going to step down at the conclusion of THIS
season.

While that is not the case anymore, I believe that the ending after next year is still probably
the best thing for him and SU.  He'd like to watch his kids play in college, and they are not
going to be in the ACC.  It doesn't seem like he's putting in the necessary efforts on the 
recruiting trail to get the talent that is needed here at SU, or the uncertainty of his plans are
a factor in kids choosing to go somewhere else.  And I don't think the coaching results of the
last few years are really what he wants.  Whatever you think, JB is not an 18-13 / 19-13 overall
and 9-9 or 10-8 league coach.  He's more like a 24-6 / 12-6, if not better, guy.  Like it or not,
next year is shaping up to be another struggle, and I'd be curious to know if that's what he'd 
like to finish with.  I don't care about this snippy-ness with the media on most things, but I 
think he could do better as it relates to comments about his players.

Does anyone know for sure, no, but it would've been nice to see it end the way I'd 
mentioned above.
