Message: [QUOTE="bballbeadle, post: 1973509, member: 548"] I really liked the part where the writer said that the players felt more "relaxed" with Boeheim, and that he brought a more "personal touch" than Danforth did. I wonder if that personal touch is still there? For instance, does anyone know what the players do for Thanksgiving? (I am assuming the basketball program gives them a nice turkey dinner.) Are they ever allowed to be entertained by Jim and Juli in their home, or elsewhere? With Juli's arrival on the scene, are there more of those "personal touches?" I know that in the past Boeheim has wanted to do some kindnesses for some of the players. A "memory" I have (HA HA HA HA!) is that a player (Jeremy McNeil?) needed to fly home because his mother was sick, and Coach either payed for his ticket and then got dinged, or Coach said he wanted to pay for his ticket but rules wouldn't allow it. Anyway, it was a fun read, and thanks! [/QUOTE]
