Seriously CTO. Is that the whole story?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?

CTO would have knowledge of the real story.Interesting. Not the story I heard. Nor the one that many others here did. Guess we'll never know.
Agreed but for obvious reasons she will most likely and appropriately keep them private.CTO would have knowledge of the real story.
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.Seriously CTO. Is that the whole story?
Seriously CTO. Is that the whole story?
Then why ask?Agreed but for obvious reasons she will most likely and appropriately keep them private.
"Most likely"Then why ask?
So, you were hoping she would post something inappropriate."Most likely"
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.
With CTO's connections, you can take it to be closer to fact than any other story you heard.Interesting. Not the story I heard. Nor the one that many others here did. Guess we'll never know.
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.With CTO's connections, you can take it to be closer to fact than any other story you heard.
You need to bone up on your English language skills.So, you were hoping she would post something inappropriate.
Got it.
Please don't do that. I think I speak for many in feeling that way.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 a Jim Boeheim Day in Onondaga County before the start of Jim's final year -- to celebrate his career at SU and his role in the community. These plans were spearheaded by County Exedutive Mahoney. The plans were obviously cancelled when Mike left and Jim was asked to stay.
Maybe I should stop posting again.

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.You need to bone up on your English language skills.
Yeah. That ship has sailed. I'm not sure why people keep discussing Hop like he's still coach in waiting.Why would he?
Yes CTO, your insights are valuable and appreciated.Please don't do that. I think I speak for many in feeling that way.
