[I]"I think Woody's really stepped up," Boeheim said. "I like what he's done. I really do." "Woody's pretty good in the zone," Boeheim said. "I'm really happy with what he's done so far." [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.oklahoman.com/story/sports/2021/04/27/why-woody-newton-chose-oklahoma-state-basketball-after-syracuse/7388255002/[/URL][/I] He knew it would take time to return to his usual self on the court. He didn’t expect to play on Dec. 30 at Wake Forest after just two practices But a week later, he didn’t play against Pittsburgh. That was the start of a downward trend. Newton appeared in only five games after the pause. [I]“It really hurt,” Newton said. “It messed with me because I know that I can be out there contributing, helping my team win. Games I see us losing by five points, we’re down by 20 — maybe I can change that. Who knows.”[/I] Newton said Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim never gave an exact reasoning why Newton didn’t play much in the second half of the season. By the time the season ended, Newton knew he wanted to play elsewhere. [I]“I feel as if I lost trust there,” Newton said. “If I don’t have trust, we have nothing. If I can’t trust you, it was easy, to be honest. I already knew what I wanted to do.”[/I] It's quite apparent in how the season played out, etc., Woody wanted nothing to do with JB's style, and the way in which he operates. [/QUOTE]
