The man stayed here 40 years. He couldve made millions more elsewhere. I think he is very interested in what happens 3 to 4 years down the road and beyond that. He is syracuse basketball. He cares about his legacy. I think he would've retired sooner if not for the sanctions. so to answer your question, i absolutely do.
I am sure he cares about what happens to the program years down the road, but when you are 70 years old, you never know when next year could be your last year coaching, I am sure he is thinking about next year first and foremost.
