Its blowing my mind that Boeheim is getting anything other than a standing ovation (from everybody in the country outside of Greensboro) for these remarks.

For those who say the timing of his comments are bad, I disagree, the attention they got prove the timing was correct, and logically, isn't the right time to talk about the conference tournament AT the conference tournament? If he said it after a random game against Virginia Tech in January it would have been out of place.

I also want to point out that he has said the same thing on numerous occasions in the past.  I don't remember any outrage then.

Is it even possible to argue with the statement itself?  There is no way the ACC tournament should be played in Greensboro.  His idea of rotating between Atlanta, Washington and NYC is an idea that should make just about anybody happy.  Frankly every ACC coach should be saying something similar every chance they get (at least every ACC coach who cares about the health of the conference).

We SHOULD be outraged at every ACC coach who hasn't made a statement of this type.

I mean, somebody please try to argue with me about this.

Personally I'd tell NYC, Washington, and Atlanta they have a nine year audition.  Each city gets to hold 3 tournaments.  At the end of that span the site that's most successful (has the highest fan turnout, and the best fan experience) gets to host the tournament every year from that point forward.
