Jimmy B calls cuse home crowd “sickening”

Boeheim was on a roundtable discussion among ACC coaches who have won National Championships in their respective sports (Dabo Sweeney and Muffit McGraw were also included). It was broadcast on the ACCN the other day. Boeheim was complaining about the makeup of the ACC making it too difficult to get your men's hoops team an NCAA bid because the league is too top heavy with "blue blood" teams. This is consistent with his not being happy that Syracuse decided to join the ACC. Jaime Dixon, seemingly, felt the same way when Pitt joined as I recall--and probably for the same reason.

It was a disaster for Syracuse when they had to join ACC (not meaning financially). They were one of the programs that was the face of Big East (along with UCONN, Villanova and Georgetown). Those 4 programs are what everyone thought of when Big East existed in original form.
 
I can't wait to see who these Blue Blood programs replace their respective legendary coaches with. Carolina already struck out once with Doherty and had a life raft in Williams to rescue them. There will be no legend ingrained in the Carolina way to come rescue them again.

I'm not saying Carolina or Duke won't be able to find another great coach to stay the course, but there are zero guarantees.

They won’t be down for long. There is too much $ behind their programs.
 
He is by far my most disliked opposing coach and it is not close. I despise this guy more than any coach in any sport.

They can always hire Barnes as their AD. He'll find them someone.
 
Boeheim is right with respect to the conference size and blue bloods etc however he needs a freaking filter. The last 10 years he has pretty much said it did whatever he wanted to.

shut the F up and deal with it. Or quit and in two years at the age of 78 you can coach Cornell. Do like Calhoun. But please quit moaning about your conference. Would he like it if Syracuse football went the way of UCONN?

I think part of why Jamie didn't want to join the ACC was because his favorite recruiting area was NYC and now he couldn't concentrate so heavily on that area, but would have to target the south eastern states, where he had not worked at all up to that time.

Yea, I posted his exact quote. Its exactly what I've been saying. The ACC is much much harder to make the NCAAT out of because the teams at the top are too hard to beat and the teams at the bottom are so bad, they bring down your rating. You can't pile up enough quality wins.

Look at this year. The ACC is only getting 5 bids:

3 Blue Bloods or "near blue bloods:
Duke
Lou
UVa

That leaves 2 bids for the other 12 not counting UNC who I don't think gets in.

BTW, FSU and VT/NCSU are the other teams who get in
