If I call again I will ask this exact question.Would love to hear the answer to this question -
"Mr. Boeheim - Why do you use the centers on pick and rolls when are guards.forwards never ever throw the ball to them?"

if you really believe that any tiny bit of credibility you may have had just vanishedI don’t think anyone but Carey was recruited for offense.
You do know all three of our point guards were hurt, right?
I honestly don’t care what you think. Your opinion is your opinion and I really don’t care about it.if you really believe that any tiny bit of credibility you may have had just vanished
And I don't care about your inane opinions either, just that they litter every single thread on here ad nauseam. again - you couldn't be more wrong if you think Battle and Brissett were recruited just to play defense in the zoneI honestly don’t care what you think. Your opinion is your opinion and I really don’t care about it.
I answered 0307 who I care what he thinks and that isn’t what I said.
I said Battle and Brissett were recruited because they fit the zone.
I also said Buddy obviously was recruited as a shooter but he needs time to develop.
Carey was recruited for offense and not as a zone fit.
We prioritize zone fits in recruiting.
His answer to me basically implied to me I don’t recruit offensive skills I recruit for my defense.
As if your philosophy on offense is to adjust to the talent you don’t have an offensive philosophy.
We know his defensive philosophy and I did get a chuckle from him saying the D will be fine. We don’t run plays as he said outside of a ball screen. There is no movement for plauers without the ball.
Shooting is no doubt important but you need a system.
There you go again.And I don't care about your inane opinions either, just that they litter every single thread on here ad nauseam. again - you couldn't be more wrong if you think Battle and Brissett were recruited just to play defense in the zone
the Wall?There you go again.
Who said they were just to play defense? Where did I say that?
I said they were recruited because they fit the zone. You spin my words to where I never went.
I could spin what you say to put it out of context but I don’t need too. I really don’t care what you think. I call it the way I see it. You call it to whatever defends the Wall.
Would a coach who wants to run the option recruit Tommy DeVito?Any good coach adapts his strategy to the available talent. And on the college level, you are always missing something so you have to match what you have and what you try to do. Classic example: Dino Babers said many times when he got here that he doesn't like running quarters. he wants them in the pocket, picking apart the defense as Garappolo did at EIU and Johnson did at BG. But in Dungey he had a quarterback who loved to run and was probably better at it than at passing, so he incorporated quarterback option plays into his offense.
In recent years, JB has coached teams that got out and ran, (2012), that slowed it down, (2014, 2018, etc.), had an inside scorer (2015) or did not, had a pure point guard (2013-14) and did not, had great outside shooters, (2017) and did not (2018), etc. etc.
Would a coach who wants to run the option recruit Tommy DeVito?
Would a coach who wants to run the spread Fun ‘n Gun offense recruit Terrel Hunt?
Coaches will always take elite talent and adjust but you should have baseline offense you want to run.
We know the defense and JB recruits too it.
The anti-frank bias still existing on this board’s rough.
Frank’s not Gandalf arriving at Helms Deep to relieve the hopeless broken garrison.
He’s a senior point guard who allows our offense to have an actual flow and is a critical part to our dominant returning defense. With Frank we’re a potentially dangerous offense. Without Frank we’re 4 guys who don’t know what to do if they’re not scoring, and multiple other guys who can’t or won’t create on their own.
He’s just a vital piece.
I thought defend the Wall was known.Pearl is not an SU football fan so he doesn't get what you are talking about. I believe he follows Minnesota CFB as he has stated before.
As far as Hughes goes I still believe you are wrong and I think he's playing better than Brissett or Battle.
don't really follow any football - I do know that the "football offenses and recruiting do this, so therefor basketball offenses and recruiting should do this" attempts are 100% worthlessPearl is not an SU football fan so he doesn't get what you are talking about.

I've criticized JB plenty through the years, especially of lateI thought defend the Wall was known.
The nice definition is to defend someone from criticism.
The QB analogy was for SWC.

nah I've mentioned I'm in MN, and I think I posted on the football side when Coyle went to MN - so you had it rightAhh not sure where I got that from. May have mixed you up with another poster.
There have plenty of recruits we have passed on because they don’t fit our defense.
I am not complaining about the recruits this year. The frustration is with the current team. I like the recruits we got I have been giving them credit for JGIII and the other 2 guards.This is the worst year to be complaining about recruiting. We signed our 3 main targets so far and they are all dynamic offensive players in their own way. Goodine, Girard, and Guerrier are all dynamite offensive players in their own way and we’re still going after other bigs.
Have you followed recruiting at all this year?
Potentially dangerous?! I almost spit out my coffee. I agree not having him is problematic but you gotta pump the brakes a bit. Frank back COULD get the offense to an average level and a more even playing field. Buddy isn’t going to be playing that much and the Centers are still as raw as tartare. But we must call it how it is and even how Boeheim called it quasi-warning us. This was probably the worst offense in the P5 WITH Frank. I posted the exact number yesterday. We were like 179 in the country in Floor % I think it was AT the pace we played at which is incredibly inefficient. We aren’t adding transcendant players or All-Americans. Potentially dangerous is never happening this year. I’ll gladly eat crow if I’m wrong. Can we be better? Yes of course but an average offense is about the ceiling, IMO. We should be a decent team with that and a good defense again.

No problem with that.
I give GMac the credit for getting these guys and hopefully telling JB we need more offense and skill.
We are paying the price these last 5 years though for recruiting for defense first. The offense has deteriorated and that is why we have had to white knuckle wins. That isn’t appealing basketball.
I am not saying don’t recruit for the zone but maybe do what they are finally doing now and sprinkle in some offense.Outside of Duke and UK just about everyone recruits for system in CBB.
