Jim Boeheim’s radio show is on Thursdays from 7-9PM on ESPN Radio in Syracuse, which is AM1200 or FM 97.7 on the dial. The show originates from Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse on Erie Boulevard in Syracuse. The first hour, hosted by Matt Park, the Voice of the Orange, is on their general network. The second hour, which begins with the conference season, is hosted by Gomez, a local radio personality.
You can call into the show locally at 315-424-8599 or nationally at 1-888-746-2873. For Gomez’s portion, use 315-424-8599. Or you can submit questions from this page:

Or on Twitter at mattpark1 or “askBoeheim”.
The show can be heard in Syracuse on FM 99.5. It’s sometime simulcast on AM 1200 or FM 97.7. You can also get it on: http://tunein.com/radio/WGVA-1240-s29191/
I will be posting my rough transcript the night of the broadcast focusing on my questions, the team and their last and next games and then a second post the next day on other things that were discussed.
MY QUESTIONS/COMMENTS
First hour:
Coach, much has been made of Coach Krzyzewski walking away from the handshake line to talk to someone else. There was long discussion on the radio about whether there should be a handshake line at the end of games at all, whether it’s more appropriate to youth sports leagues than college games or something essential as a symbol of sportsmanship. How important is it to shake hands at the end of games and how offended were your players when Coach K walked away rather than shake hands with them?
Second hour:
Coach, another discussion on the radio was about the state of modern basketball. We used to get fries for 100 points, then tacos for 75 points. Now it’s tacos for 70 points. There’s a formula you can use to determine the number of possessions in a game and that 1965-66 team you played on averaged 186 combined possessions between them and their opponents. In subsequent years the averages were 150-160 possessions until the mid-1990’s, after which it declined to about 130. In the Duke game there were 114 possessions. We’ve got a shot clock and a three point line. You’ve discussed why teams don’t press- the ball handling is too good these days. In the Duke game there was one basket scored off of a fast break and one from a jump shot between the paint and the three point line, where Lawrence Moten used to set scoring records. Can anything be done to return basketball to the game we fell in love with years ago?
