The first retirement was the right time and it should have happened then. I had mentally turned the page on the Boeheim era at that point. I was extremely disheartened by what happened with Hop/Jim and didn't like that he was coming back. It had the feeling of holding on too long at that point. The nail in the coffin for me was the Houston loss in the Sweet 16. Seeing how badly they got throttled in that game was jarring. Just my opinion only, but that was another opportunity for Jim to step away that went by the wayside. He got the chance to coach Buddy, got a sweet 16 run. You could see that was the pinnacle for this program in it's current state. Hindsight has only hardened the fact that he should have taken any number of those opportunities to step aside and receive his roses. This has all become really sad. It's bad that I have to keep reminding myself that we can respect and appreciate everything JAB has done, but also know he's a shadow of that figure at this point.
