Unfortunately, not the general.
 
I just don't think the team has a morale booster (in uniform or on the bench), someone that can effectively motivate the team through the hard times. We have good players who I think, in some alternate universe, could be playing very well at this point in the season and winning the games they are capable of.  
 
Disclaimer: [I]I am not a 900+ win Hall of Fame D-1 basketball coach, nor am I in any way, shape or form close to the program other than watching the games and internet sleuthing. I have never met Boeheim or any of the coaches and have no knowledge of their relationships with the players, past or present.[/I]
 
But, I think it is legitimate to question the allegiance of the team to the Head Coach. Like I said, never met the guy, but he seems kind of ... ly. If press conferences are any indication of his general mood, I would not particularly like to be on his team. How effective can a grumpy seventy year-old man inspire a team of kids to do their best and fight through adversity?
 
More importantly, does playing for a Hall of Fame Coach (if you play your first year at all) outweigh the negatives?
