SYRACUSE, N.Y. – When Dino Babers first considered shifting the Orange's base defense from a nickel scheme to the 3-3-5 this past winter, he consulted one of the nation's top coaches – in basketball.
Babers sat down with Orange Hall of Famer Jim Boeheim, whose 2-3 zone has flummoxed opponents unfamiliar with attacking it for decades.
"I would be remiss if I didn't tell you he affected me a little bit by some of the things that he said," Babers told The Athletic in June.
