Message: [QUOTE="DoctorBombay, post: 1018910, member: 626"] :rolleyes: Thanks, I'm happy that my "critique" met with your approval. Btw- you might wanna look up the word sarcasm in relation to the "God" comment- I'd like to think most everyone understood the context with which I used that remark- but you seemed to enjoy yourself, so...have at it. JB's "flaws & frailties" are a matter of opinion, and have been stated here ad infinitum by those who hold that opinion, so I won't restate them all. However, IMHO, his biggest flaw is not developing a deep bench. If you disagree with that, how does that then constitute a "rip" on my part? I also disagree with his usual adherence to playing seniors over freshmen, and IMO, not allowing younger players to get comfortable by giving them minutes throughout the season, sometimes even in blowouts. Or how about that he tends to milk the clock, no matter what, when we reach the 5-minute mark with a lead? Yeah...what a "rip" to point that out...:rolleyes: Those are my opinions...if you disagree, fine. But to call that a "rip" seems to suggest a hypersensitivity to all things Boeheim... on the accuser's part. The insinuation seems to be that ANY criticism is negative, any questioning of JB's tactics and philosophies is out-of-place because "he's won a bazillion games and you haven't"... blahblahblah. I also hesitate to add that the man keeps digging his fingers into his nose and I find that distasteful...but I'd better be careful lest that's perceived to be a "rip", by those who might have no problem with that habit. The fact that he DOES in fact love to pick his nose is surely not a subject for debate is it? Or am I being a "Monday morning quarterback" by pointing that out? Just checking...;) Bottomline, it seems to me that one man's constructive criticism, is another man's "rip". And, as I can't speak for every critic, my opinion about JB's "failings and flaws" are long-held and not the simple by-product of this year's end-of-season collapse. Also, I agree that blasting players should be off-limits, but I won't play "God"...see what I did there?...and claim that I've NEVER done it. However, I do try to toe the line between legit criticism versus outright bashing. More importantly I have no problem with someone pointing out where they feel I might've crossed a line. So, in that regard- I say thanks for the constructive criticism...or is it a "rip"? It gets so confusing...:confused: [/QUOTE]
