Message: [QUOTE="Symphony Steve, post: 4116084, member: 911"] Sad. But inevitable. Barring a scandal, like JoePa's obliviousness to Sandusky's perversions, JB was going to go out on his own terms. HOF coaches with this much built-up goodwill generally get to call their own departures. I don't blame JW. To oust Boeheim would have resulted in a power struggle he couldn't win. I believe, however, that said goodwill has been exhausted. This must be Boeheim's final year. I also believe that the future for SU hoops is bright. Great facility, a great place for athletes to shine. JB's final years were marked by less trust in athleticism and far too much emphasis on the vaunted zone. The combination of diminishing athleticism on the squad and teams figuring out how to beat the zone, especially with the diminished athleticism, has led to this. No, it's not going to end well. These things rarely do. But end it must. After this season. [/QUOTE]
