Just talked with Dick Vitale ([URL='https://twitter.com/DickieV']@DickieV[/URL]), who had strong thoughts about Jim Boeheim's planned retirement/legacy and who should be next HC.

Vitale on Boeheim: "I think it’s so unfair what’s transpired now, the whole scenario with the Syracuse investigation."

Vitale: "I want to make it very clear, very clear, coaches have to be accountable and responsible for what transpires in your program."

More Vitale: "But saying all that, Jim Boeheim is not a cheater. He did not organize or orchestrate a cheating scandal to take place."

Vitale: "Jim Boeheim was guilty of one thing. I’ll say it once, I’ll say it twice, I’ll say it over and over on ESPN and a lot of people don’t agree with what I’m saying. But what I’m saying is a fact. Jim Boeheim is guilty of trust."

Vitale on Boeheim's planned retirement: "I’m really surprised to be honest with you. All of it I think is related to what’s happened now in terms of the investigation. I don’t know if it’s done maybe to ease some of those screaming that he should step down immediately."

Vitale on if he thinks Mike Hopkins should be next head coach: "Oh, absolutely. I think there’s no doubt it was all sitting there."
