Wholly because the game had incredibly great flow and all of our whistles fit the game situations and were made because the crew was hustling and therefore in great position to see through plays.

So, in that way, I'm ok with being "invisible".

We are mostly invisible when the players put the ball in the hole. When they don't we have more opportunities to call things and become the focus. The point is we do not control this element of what people will perceive from us.

Peace

I'm not nearly as old as I look , so I have many memories of watching Boeheim coach through the last few decades.....is it just me, or has he become especially more prickly, condescending - even bordering on being irreverent at times in front of the media and in games?

Not that it matters a thing to me. Just an observation.

It's not whether you win or lose but where you lay the blame!

From his earlier comments, it seems Jim Boeheim came into this game feeling superior to any of those rednecks in the ACC and resentful at being forced into the conference by the Syracuse administration and the ACC's raids that destroyed the former Big East.

I wonder if that had him in such a state that the charge call just caused the dam to burst. His reaction of charging the court over a disputed call was certainly out of character with his history.

Well, get used to it Jim. You're coaching an ACC school, like it or not.
