Message: [QUOTE="JimBoston, post: 5660803, member: 1312"] There is too much overreaction going on here. Sure, the Big East is a better fit for basketball than the ACC, but the problems with Syracuse basketball are the retirement of a Hall of Fame coach who stayed too long and the hiring of his assistant coach that was not ready for the job. Syracuse has an incredible fan base with great attendance, a winning history, plenty of recruits within 5 hours of campus,... The first step to recovery: Hire a PROVEN (!) winning head coach even if he has no ties to Syracuse. The second step is to reconnect with the NYC area fanbase by scheduling at least 1 game per season at MSG (NOT Barclays!). The third step is play some OOC games with traditional BE rivals like Georgetown, UConn, St. John's, Villanova, Providence. The fourth step is as you begin to win again, attendance will go up and boosters will want to invest in the program. Capitalize on winning. [/QUOTE]
