No plans on retiring. JB if that's the case need to change your mind set now.

Heβs gotta say this for recruiting strategy and such. I get it.
My big concern is that who wants to come play for him now at his age with the systems we run, especially ALL-Zone?!
I mean we might get a couple of low end Top 100 guys like in this class but weβre not going to get any studs or big difference makers, IMO.

Ding! Ding! Ding! That's what is killing our recruitment too.

Exactly. JB's own stubbornness and ego are getting in the way of sound decision making regarding the future of the program and Syracuse basketball brand. I give him a two year window to make something happen, and by that I mean a return to the Final Four (I don't believe he can) and after that if he won't retire he will sadly need to be forced out. Every year it's going to be harder and harder to recruit.

Virtually guaranteed double-digit losses next season and a big question mark the following season since I question player development and S&C big time. Weβre not going anywhere fast with all string beans and shaky PG play. Carey and/or Goodine better be sound as primary ballhandlers.

a 2 year window to return to the final 4? Those do not grow on trees. Him and K have been to the final 4 the same amount of times this decade.... And i think we know who has had a much better collection of talent. If Duke misses the final 4 the next two years should they get rid of K?
Now I agree that it goes hand in hand with regular season and conference tourney success. If the 14 loss seasons mount and we miss the tourney or go out in first weekend maybe you have an argument.
But a 2 year ultimatum to return to the final 4 is just irrational.

I agree with cusefan2016. As long as there is a huge improvement on offensive game, PG and Center areas get lots better, and we make a decent run in tourney then all is good.

All good teams can lose in a one game elimination game. I do expect a top twenty program again. I expect to have an offense that's not an embarrassment. I expect us to recruit very good players we NEED. We've needed a real point guard and center for several seasons now. If he can't do these things, he needs to go.
