SU took a huge hit when Eric Devendorf was lost for the season with a torn ligament. I know I have been critical of Devendorf for his temper tantrums that cost SU games but his loss will be hard for Boeheim to deal with. He is a fiery player who has made some crucial mistakes because of his attitude but he also would have been the go to guy for SU because of his experience. Losing him and Josh Wright as well as Rautins has left the Orange very thin in the backcourt.

Coaching Quitters

I know this is a basketball board but I am sick of hearing that college football coaches quit on their teams in the middle of a season to take another job. The NCAA has so many regulations in regard to athletes and what they can’t do but turns another cheek when it comes to coaches. Rich Rodriguez is being totally unfair to his team in taking a job with Michigan before the bowl game. Why not put in a rule similar to the player’s rule that a transfer must sit out a year before playing for another school? If a coach takes another Division I job before his current team finishes their schedule, that coach should have to sit out one year before coaching again. That would protect the school and its players from coaching defections in the middle of a season.
