Tough question... I'm inclined to say JB, but I also understand how hard it is to walk away from coaching.  Combine that with being screwed royally by the NCAA I really do undertand why he wants to stay and try to win to get back at them.

That said, I wish he could have the forsight to see what this stance is doing to the program.  The decline isn't even debatable anymore.  I wish folks like Wildhack and others could sit him down and remind him he doesn't need to prove anything to ANYBODY.  He got guys to come to the snowiest US city in the country and built a program from virtually nothing.  He's had more wins than anyone in D1 mens college hoops, and Syracuse isn't even a blue blood.  That's  remarkable.

At this point I guess I am going to place equal blame on JB and Wildhack.  This decline has gone on long enough.  Sometimes it's just time to put the ego aside.  I want JB to be remembered for his brilliance, loyalty, and resilience not his ego, defensiveness and inability to know when to hang up the cleats.

It all just sucks... it hurts, its sad, and it didn't have to happen.  Let's right the ship, somehow.
