What Would Jarvis Do
Funny how absense makes the heart grow fonder. In hindsight, I’d happily support his decision to stop recruiting nyc high school kids if he’d bring us to the post season almost every year. Haven’t had a shred of success with local talent since he left.
But WWJD stands for What Would Jim Boeheim Do? In the case of Jason Hart, who wanted out of LOI, Boeheim handled the matter quickly with a simple, firm “no”.
And I support that. If you sign a LOI, you’ve not only made a commitment to a coach, you’ve made one to program and a team. The rest of the team isn’t being paid a salary. They are amateurs just like Wilson. Why should they suffer through a season, just because Wilson changed his mind in the 25th hour? People like to point out the coach’s freedom to leave at will. They can, but Chris Mullin paid his dues. (As a player I mean)
