Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 3206556, member: 405"] That's not completely true. I think there was a substantial number of people who said he should go away and get head coaching experience, and that we should conduct a national search, to include Mike, of course, if he didn't bomb out at his first head coaching gig. I think there are a substantial number of people who feel the same way about the current assistants - that any of them should go get head coaching experience before we turn over the program to them. Same as Mike - except that none of them are remotely close to Mike as a recruiter. But now that Mike's had his taste of success, and is in the middle of building his own thing for a fan base who really likes him, it's a hard sell to get him to come back. I think only Jim calling him would get it done, and I don't see Boeheim EVER thinking that he still isn't the best coach out there. It's who he is. [/QUOTE]
