HAHA. Well said. We (Cuse fans) enjoy "hating" you all, as well. Doesn't mean I didn't hold John Thompson in the highest regard while I booed him until my vocal cords gave out, though.

What happened is that they set up a "Retirement/succession Plan" (about 10-12 years ago) so that recruits wouldn't be worried about going to a program and losing their coach. Everyone knew who the next coach would be if Boeheim decided to step away.

Sorry. That was purely a typo (I missed the extra 4). I'm just giving Coach B back the 101 wins the NCAA's B.S. "investigation" stripped from him.

He actually gave his "retirement speech" a couple weekends ago, when several former players had their numbers retired. He just didn't tell anyone that's what the speech was. Honestly, that's typical Coach B.

1116-441 without NCAA bulls**t.
(edit: fixed typo. 441 losses are legit)

It seems pretty clear that he was strongly encouraged that this was his last season.

I don't want Berhalter back, but to weaponize domestic abuse for retaliation in a grudge like this is SO gross.

100%. The article about him on The Athletic just straight out says "1116 wins" and doesn't even mention the other number. Gotta love it.
