“Michael Graham, in front of 19,000 people, punched my player,” Boeheim said. “And the ref had the nerve to call it a two-shot foul.”

When asked if a then junior Hakim Warrick would enter the draft: "Who's going to draft him? The Army?"

Love these...
"I think freshmen are more ready today,” Boeheim told SI. “But I think as we go on, we're probably going to start to realize how special Carmelo really was.”
Boeheim on Carmelo Anthony: “Carmelo Anthony was the player of the year in college basketball last year in my mind and anybody that knows anything about basketball’s mind. You don’t lose those guys and expect to be as good. We’re going to have to work really hard just to get close. He did everything. There’s really virtually few, if any players I’ve ever seen in college basketball who have been able to shoot the three and rebound as well. He could pass the ball probably as well as any forward who’s ever played college basketball. He could handle the ball, make plays as well as any forward that we’ve ever had and any that I’ve ever seen. The reality of Carmelo Anthony is if he was voted Player of the Year in every poll, which he should have been, everybody would be talking about it a little differently. Just because you don’t get those votes doesn’t mean that you weren’t. He was, by far, the best player in college basketball. It wasn’t even close. Nobody was even close to him last year in college basketball. That’s the bottom line.

And at the first ACC meeting after Louisville joined the league when asked why Rick Pitino wasn't there: "He's still waiting for his horse to finish the Derby."
My favorite... when our game was cancelled at Rutgers because of snow and team found out when the bus pulled into the arena parking lot
" If this game was in Syracuse,not only would they have played it, but there would be 30,000 people there!"

No, sorry dude, the JB Raef one was better. OMG, I'm still laughing at that one and I'm the second page of this thread.

"If my senior captain on the floor didn't think we needed a timeout, then I guess we didn't need a timeout."
Late 70's. Don't remember the details except that we lost and would have had a better shot if we'd called a timeout. Today's JB would have called one.

That one was from back in the 90s, when practices were open at Manley. My father and I used to go up to watch early season practices ALL THE TIME back then, it was great [if you are into hoops and enjoy watching the team prior to the exhibition games].
Just to provide a little more background context to put things in perspective, JB snared the offensive rebound in mid air off of a missed shot, and threw down an uncharacteristically savage two handed jam. Otis tried to go up to challenge / block the shot, but got knocked down and slid out of bounds. That's why the team went bonkers.
That reaction is probably the funniest thing I've ever seen Boeheim say or do. Hilarious! It was even funnier because he wasn't trying to be funny, he was annoyed.

I read through this post too quickly and for a split second pictured JB=Jim Boeheim throwing down a savage two handed jam. Uncharacteristic indeed.
I'm very happy to now have that image in my head forever
