Lots of talk about 37 years is enough...time for JB to go...
They might be right. I would welcome SU's return to mediocrity after Boeheim retires.

'Cuse fans have been talking about this for a long time. Go back to 2008, when they went to two straight NITs. All the talk was that JB was over-the-hill and should retire. Since then, 4 straight tourneys, 2 Sweet 16s and an Elite 8. Not bad.

Has he become more of a curmudgeon though? Dude is now 68 and has got the ring, 900, a babe for a wife, and the love and admiration of an adoring throng. 37 years is a great run and bloody impossible to replicate these days. Have fun with your wife. Go and spend some cash on her.
With Syracuse breaking from the Big East, now would be the time to cut clean and be done with it.

He's always been a whiny guy. I think the whole Fine situation took a toll as well.
What one poster on the Syracuse board said after the loss last night to our Warriors:
I'd be in a foul mood if I got outcoached like that also...
Wow! We love our Buzz, I admit, but that's incredible praise. I'm not sure I buy it, but Buzz coached a great game last night and the guys came to play!

Buzz was the better basketball brain. Perhaps out of necessity but certainly the more innovative. Quite a feat to take down a Hall of Famer.

It's not really all that hard to outcoach Boeheim. In fact, he probably gets outcoached quite a bit. What does he do? He recruits, and then practices a 2-3 zone with his long athletes. He never, ever leaves his zone. So there are absolutely no adjustments made on the defensive end. Offensively, he lets his long, athletic players do what they would like to. He has a system, he recruits to his system, and he sticks to his system. Not a whole lot of in-game coaching to be done.
Maybe Buzz will leave to coach SU

This.
Boeheim is the easiest scout in the country. He hasn't changed his mind in nearly 40 years. That's allowed Cuse to be beat by some bad teams and under perform to expectations in the NCAA Tournament.
Didn't he import some pieces of things he learned as an assistant for Team USA with K and the other guys on that staff?

As I said in the past thread you made about this 'Cuse board, there is nothing different between them and this board when we lose. I mean we crap our pants when we lose one game, God knows what crap we'd put up if we lost two in a row and our next game was against Louisville. Everything being posted is out of frustration and stupidity. Is Jimmy a sore loser? Yes. Is Jimmy easy to scout against? Yes. But reality is over the past 2 seasons Syracuse has been ranked in the top 10 more times than not.

Second only to Bo Ryan. Dude never leaves straight man no matter how many mid-majors are teabagging him from three in the tourney.
