After 40 years or so it's easy to lose sight of just how incredibly fortunate Syracuse has been to have JB at the helm of our program. As is often the case, people at the top of their profession can be the target of criticism by the small people who for a variety of motivations feel compelled to take shots at the person at the top. Let there be no mistake, Jim Boeheim has contributed to Syracuse University, College Basketball, The American Cancer Society, and a myriad of other charities on a level which is unequaled and will likely never be surpassed. Particularly telling is the manner in which coach K stresses that JB is " even a better person" over and above the fact of his monumental accomplishments on the basketball court.  As much as JB has proved himself to be a coaching prodigy and a defensive genius it is through hard work and an incredible dedication to his alma mater that he has set a standard for coaching that is nothing short of remarkable. For me, it's impossible to actually imagine what it will be like when he finally steps down since Jim Boeheim and Syracuse Basketball are essentially synonymous. We have truly been fortunate to have had him provide the excellence and stability that no other schools have had over the past 40 years. Thank you JB!
