Message: [QUOTE="Coach Orange, post: 1643018, member: 2260"] FWIW, Coach Boeheim states in his [I]Syracuse Transition and Early Offense [/I]DVD that coaches have to dictate to players what shots they can and cannot take. He tells a story about how he had told Rony Seikaly not to shoot a certain shot and, when Rony took that shot in a game and made it, Coach B yanked him at the next whistle. Rony argued that he made the shot. Coach B responded that Rony wasn't allowed to shoot that shot, so making it was irrelevant. In addition, Coach B states that certain plays are for specific players only. No one else is permitted to shoot anything other than a layup during that possession I mention these points only to show that Frankie's benching is consistent with Coach B's stated philosophies, not to argue whether or not fans should think his reasoning is sound.
