Message: [QUOTE="OrangeDW, post: 4060389, member: 2458"] I made a post in our Battle/Howard era about how we’re basically late career John Chaney Temple. Legendary coach who is still a great game coach, a program that still has its own identity and style of play…..but is no longer getting the same level of players that it did at its peak. So the ceiling becomes sweet 16 and the norm becomes 14-15 loss seasons. Now obviously peak Syracuse was both better and longer than peak Temple. But there are a ton of similarities. Chaney didn’t end with a bang. I hope Boeheim finds a way to do so. * We’ve got a better league, arena/facilities, fan base, and National brand than Temple ever did so hopefully our ability to bounce back as a program is a lot higher, because they have never consistently gotten back to their late 80s-90s- level.
