Jim Boeheim (HC Syracuse Orange)

[LitlBuck]

I grew up watching the Big East on ESPN, so as far as I know Syracuse has always been a basketball power. Does that continue after he leaves?

Probably. The Carrier Dome is pretty impressive for recruiting purposes I would think plus their assisted coach is their "head coach in waiting" so they might not lose a whole lot of continuity. Also, any recruits who have already signed their letters of intent for this year can stay.

poor guy is still and the denial phase
Jim Boeheim responds: Calls NCAA punishments 'unduly harsh'
Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim held a press conference Thursday to respond to the NCAA's infractions report and the sanctions for multiple NCAA violations.

 

[Wingate1217]

NCAA should ask Boeheim once annually if his team is committing NCAA violation. Only way to nab him.

Don't the coaches have to sign a statement saying that the didn't knowingly break an NCAA rule. Isn't that what got Tressel in deep water?

I guess their coach in waiting, Mike Hopkins,, decided to not wait so much and is going to accept the job at Washington.

That whole "transition" was a sham from the start, not unlike Will Muschamp and Mack Brown at Texas almost a decade ago.

Eh....that's not entirely true. He was obviously the next in line long before they announced it. And he still might be.

The whole appeasement of the NCAA thing....that was a sham. Most Syracuse fans didn't believe he'd be stepping down after next year unless he wanted to. Nobody was going to make him.

Boeheim killed a man last night. No joke. Considering his age, maybe he needs to lose his driver's license.

Umm, isn't he looking at potential jail time? I guess maybe not considering his age and status?

 

[OhioState001]

Nevermind, sounds like a situation where this guy ran out into fast moving traffic when he shouldn't have, car crashed for unknown reasons, maybe drunk?

Why should he lose his driver's license for someone else's stupidity?

He is an elderly man who killed a pedestrian. Boeheim is losing his faculties, he certainly isn't going to get sharper in the future.

Someone was dumb enough to walk on an interstate highway....that's hardly a pedestrian at a crosswalk.

I realize you have an anti-Boeheim fetish, but let the facts come out first. The cops didn't even cite him after interviewing him....
