You can hate Jim Boeheim, you can think he's a dick, you can think he's underachieved in the Tournament in his career, but you can't say he isn't still a phenomenal X's and O's, in game coach. Because he is, and he has proven it more in the last 3 years than most do in a career.

Syracuse’s 2-3 Zone is a Mariano Rivera “cutter.” Looks hittable but all you end up with is broken bats & missed shots.
