H

watching Seton Hall-DePaul on FS1.Said they will have JB on the postgame show.

He has always preferred the Big East lol

 

[Sherman20]

I doubt he’s all that shocked. The guy is good friends with all of our staff. He must have heard it was coming.

My man, and fellow Canuck Leo Rautins, was the reason I became a huge Syracuse Hoops fan in the early 1980's. Coach Jim will be missed for a number of reasons, and especially the incredible memories I have of the program.

Don't recall if I've ever made a comment about a replacement coach, or whether it should be within or from outside, but the choice has been made and I am behind Red 100% like any true Orange fan should be.

 

[Trueblue25]

Hes doing an interview tonight?! Jeez

Jim Boeheim Is the Greatest Coach Who Never Fit the Part

I read this once a year. Been saving it for the end of season just in case this happened.

When I get back to the hotel from the late game tonight I’m going to fire up a j and pull it up. That way if I choke up a little nobody will see me. Lol

Since I was a little kid Syracuse basketball has been a huge part of my life and, specifically, my relationship with my mother and that is only because of what JB had built when she became a fan.

Thank ya, JB.

Never read that before. Love Titus so I’m surprised I hadn’t. Thanks for sharing!

Depaul wins !!

Seton Hall’s guard were incredibly awful down the stretch. Some of the worst turnovers I’ve ever seen. Extremely, poorly coached down the stretch.

 

[Orangezoo]

He has a weekly segment on the ESPN Syracuse. Very well-spoken and smart.

Are there replays?

 

[AlaskaSU]

Thank you for both the basketball memories and the charitable fund raising. More than a coach you are a pillar of the community. At the end of the day you always put your players first. You never advised a player to return if it was not in his best interest. You are a fierce competitor, old school all the way.

Sad to end the era but could not be happier with Red as the next act.

I do not expect miracles regardless of who is coaching. Reality is that we are in a difficult situation for recruiting. I expect that we will have ups and downs, like most teams, but the dynasty is over.

 

[CuseCPT]

Sounds like he's not actually going to be on.

now they are saying only reaction to the announcement, kind of a bait and switch

 

[orangenauburn]

now they are saying only reaction to the announcement, kind of a bait and switch

Maybe he was advised not to do so

 

[TheCusian]

If he drops the zone and actually runs a competent O then fine, id feel better about it. Just have my concerns.

Fair, I suppose. Seemed like you already decided before he coached a minute. Cuse grad, a very good player in his own right - deserving of more

 

[rrlbees]

Maybe he was advised not to do so

He’s on a plane which is expected to land at 9. Didn’t think he’d be doing a live interview.

Shockingly, FS1 says leaving the Big East was a mistake for us and Pitt lol.
