When it is JB's time to go out to pasture...

JB did not "decide to stay." Per his agreement with the chancellor, he was leaving at the end of the 2018 season. It was all set for Mike to become the coach. Then, in the 2017 off-season, Mike was offered the job at UWash, and he took it. It was an awkward time to find and hire a new coach.The school did the logical thing and asked their HOF coach to stay on. Why is that so difficult to understand?

Seriously CTO. Is that the whole story?

Really?

Interesting. Not the story I heard. Nor the one that many others here did. Guess we'll never know.

CTO would have knowledge of the real story.

 

[kcsu]

CTO would have knowledge of the real story.

Agreed but for obvious reasons she will most likely and appropriately keep them private.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Many people claim to be in the know about what happened and have given their version of what happened. CTO gave the version that of course CTO would give.

The only way an assistant on this staff is remotely considered as the replacement is if the program makes a remarkable resurgence in these last few years. Red and The Great Fisherman would be wise to start thinking about their next options a year or two before the end arrives.

 

[tbonezone]

i'd like to see the quote from jb HIMSELF saying in effect "i'm leaving in 2018" . i myself never heard one.

Yes I find it annoying when people come on here and say they know something but can’t share it. Either say what it is or don’t tease.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

The truth is boring.

People only want to read about conspiracies and scandals.

 

[orange79]

Agreed but for obvious reasons she will most likely and appropriately keep them private.

Then why ask?

 

[kcsu]

Then why ask?

"Most likely"

 

[orange79]

"Most likely"

So, you were hoping she would post something inappropriate.

Got it.

All JB has to do is pull a Jim Calhoun or Dean Smith and retire abruptly before the season starts. And Boeheim has already said that a “retirement tour” is out.

With CTO's connections, you can take it to be closer to fact than any other story you heard.

 

[cto]

Some people say I don't post often enough. Then, when I do post, they say it isn't true.

Just two facts:

1) JB made a firm agreement with the school in the wake of the NCAA action in 2015 (when some people were calling for him to be fired) that he would coach for only three more years.

2) Before the end of the 2017 season, plans were well under way to hold "Jim Boeheim Day in Onondaga County" before the start of Jim's final season -- to celebrate his career at SU and his role in the community. These plans were spearheaded by County Exedutive JoanieMahoney. The plans were obviously cancelled when Mike left and Jim was asked to stay.

Maybe I should stop posting again.

Absolutely. You just beat me to it. In the many years I have been on this board the one person I have learned to trust the most is CTO.

Got it.

You need to bone up on your English language skills.

Please don't do that. I think I speak for many in feeling that way.

Seems as if you do, moreso than I. You asked if it was the whole story. Then you said she should appropriately keep it private.

So a), why even ask? and b) did you expect her to say No and then drop it?

Done here. You can't even see it anymore.

 

[dollarbill44]

Why would he?

Yeah. That ship has sailed. I'm not sure why people keep discussing Hop like he's still coach in waiting.

 

[Newhouser]

if Hop keeps winning at UW he will have much better offers coming in than returning to SU. We know our future the next 3 years - whoever in charge after that in picking the replacement will set the tone for the next 5 years. A bad hire and we are a decade out from being relevant and that is not always an easy hole to climb out of.

 

[HOFCeluck]

He’s not coming back.

 

[SBU72]

Yes CTO, your insights are valuable and appreciated.
