Syracuse's NCAA Snub

Last nights NCAA bids brought shock,anger,disappointment, and confusion to Syracuse fans all over the country. How could a 22-10 record not get a bid. Syracuse posted a 10-6 record in the Big East, which is one of the toughest conferences in the country. The reason can only be something else. It could be the coach. I believe Boeheim is not well liked or respected by some in the decision process and his peers. He never seems to get the respect from his peers that a coach with his record deserves. Whenever you hear a commentator talk about Boeheim they usually use the ya-but form of speech. For example: Ya he's got a great record, BUT......... Another good example was when he won the National championship. Ya Boeheim coached the national championship team, BUT it really was Carmello who won it. Jim Boeheim has been the Syracuse basketball coach for 31 years. He has given Syracuse a national title and many exciting moments on the court, but time takes its toll. This year there were games where he seemed to have lost his vigor and quit coaching. Maybe its time to move on Jim! Prove you can coach anywhere and silence the ya-but boys. Change is good and I believe both you and Syracuse Basketball could benefit from it.
That being said Syracuse was snubbed and no matter what the reason it is inexcusable.
