I do not see any risk, only opportunity.

Why? Because JB cannot coach forever.

What I see is a good chance for advancement or progress over what the program is today, not what it was yesterday or 44 years ago.

I was a fan before JB was coach. When Coach Danforth left that too was an opportunity. And there was lots of risk.  SU picked Boeheim and I remember saying, "What? Who? OK." That worked out better than anyone could have expected. Years of exciting bball. Great highs! Great lows! But that roller coaster ride is nearing the end. The highs are not as high and the lows are turning into a flat and unexciting roll into the station

At some point in time JB will no longer be the coach. With any luck it will be a date and time agreed to by JB and others. In my view that date and time should be sooner rather than later.

Will the next coach be as great as Boeheim has been? No, unless lightening strikes twice (and it does on occasion). Will the next coach be able to put an exciting brand of basketball on the floor? And a team that can compete nationally they way we, as fans, all think we are entitled to? 
I hope so, but there are no guarantees only opportunities.
