Today was it for me. Syracuse basketball needs to move on.

I've been a diehard for years. I forgot they were even playing today until randomly visiting the forum. I didn't miss much.

Does your name happen to be Jackson? First time caller, long time listener?

I think that was Jackson Boeheim.

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Didn’t watch the game. Here for the comments

same. I played hoops instead. It was bad hoops, but better than watching what these folks are describing.

Jackson was a trip. Nah, Jeff here. My call was short and sweet. I got depressed about Cuse basketball halfway through

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

My call was at the 34:33 mark. It wasn't a work of genius. like I said, halfway through I became very sad lol

Good call Jeff, most of those calls were pure gold.

Feel bad for Devo for having to try to spin this.

I'm like 95% sure that was Liam Neeson. Had no idea he was a fan.

You’ve convinced me haha.

You made a great point in a very reasonable way. Devo's comments afterwards confirmed what you said.

btw, it's funny to me how there are still plenty of folks (not really here, moreso social media) who immediately jump to the YOURE JUST A BOEHEIM HATER when you (correctly) observe that it is time for him to go - as if it's not possible to simultaneously love and respect what he has done while also pointing out the glaringly obvious regarding the present situation

To be fair, there are still 1 or 2 here on this board that are still spinning and deflecting. But most of the usual ones have been pretty quiet these last few days.

Its crazy.

Look, my dream scenario would be JB stays on, brings on an elite defensive guru as an assistant who can immediately modernize the D and pivot to man, and JB hands the ball over to him when he wants to go in a couple years. That's never gonna happen of course, but I am so NOT a JB hater.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

oof that dude

Ive blocked him. The most argumentative person I've ever interacted with on Cuse Twitter

It seems like we're slowing getting to as much of a consensus as is possible in an environment like this.

 

[MSOrange]

oof that dude

in all seriousness, you're a pretty good barometer. I've followed your posts long enough to know that you're not negative just to be negative and you're also very knowledgeable. So when you think it's time for change, it should be something to think about.

 

[cusefan88]

It's not that difficult. Most people at the age of 78 probably aren't at the pinnacle of their profession anymore. It would be the exception to still be top-level. It's just that most people would have recognized it and retired. Not JB.

thx MS, I could say the same for you for sure. I was in denial for awhile (check that rhyme yo!) because there were PLENTY of JB haters even when he and the program were uber successful, and so I was very reactive to that. But, yes, I came around. I accepted reality. This program needs a new coach.

 

[MSOrange]

oof that dude

I engaged him on Twitter a bit tonight, but I'm bowing out now. It's a fruitless battle.

Indeed. He's so frustratingly stubborn.

Shot you a follow for your efforts tho...

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

The blind spot just is pervasive. Listened to the ask the coach segment just now. He just doesn't get it.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

So...yeah. I still feel this way.

The 2-3 zone was invented in 1914. This photo shows some scores from that basketball season. The 3 point line didn't exist. Steph Curry hadn't inspired millions of kids to shoot from half court. It's a dated defense that is killing the Syracuse basketball program.
