So many thoughts.....
Coach B was the only SU hoops coach in my lifetime. He dedicated his life not only to SU hoops and his players but also the city of Syracuse. He's definitely made the program at SU a standout program, one that is recognized as a college powerhouse nation wide.
I was at the Dome when Earl The Pearl Washington made the half court shot to beat Patrick Ewing and G-town. I'll never forget the sound that Dome made when his shot went in.
One of Coach's biggest strengths was that he got every ounce of talent out of his players. Think of Craig Forth. Coach let Craig know of his expectations and helped him get there. Craig ended up being a dominant bigman for Cuse hoops. He knew his role and played it well.
Think of the walk on (as Coach was) in Lawrence Moten. Lawrence ended up being, and still is, SUs leading all time scorer.
I'll miss Coach B.
