Boeheim will coach tomorrow per Wildhack announcement

[Sherman20]

No, that is leadership. Wildhack is taking all the potential heat for this onto himself.

That is exactly right.

 

[Jake]

Not sure I like this new role of program spokesperson from the superfan.

Yeah. He needs to be talked to.

 

[kmart128]

Weird statement "I have respectfully decided that Coach Boeheim will resume his coaching duties". Doesn't that imply he was told to stop coaching?

First thing I noticed as well.

 

[shandeezy7]

Yeah. He needs to be talked to.

I'm sure JB can't like this guy blabbing all over social media and to the press about his private conversations.

 

[GoSU96]

My thought exactly. The whole crew showing the rest of the world how compassionate PR is done.

Yep. Very well done

 

[Jzsshuttles]

Thank you. Protecting his coach. What a G

Not sure I like this new role of program spokesperson from the superfan.

Couldn't agree more. There are certain things that money shouldn't buy you.

 

[721Comstock]

Yeah. He needs to be talked to.

He is being talked to. By the media.

And he’s answering.
Because he’s a free person and not under some gag ruling.

Should he just answer whatever questions he’s getting asked with “no comment”, or maybe take a page out of Marshawn’s or Rasheed’s respective media playbooks, and just repeat the same non-answer answer to any questions asked?

 

[Jake]

Welp. The Jiminez family isn’t on board. Interesting.

Interesting...I'm sure you will eventually see some sort of civil suit even though it appears to be just a tragic accident with no fault. Good reminder to not leave your car if involved in accident or get a flat on an expressway.

Welp. The Jiminez family isn’t on board. Interesting.

Very interesting if true. But you can’t blame anyone so quickly after a tragedy like this as the family is likely in a state of shock and not exactly thinking clearly at the moment. Seems a family may not be so happy with all the press given to Boeheim( certainly not his choice) and not as much to the person killed.

I have the ability and right to talk about a lot of things that I shouldn’t.

He’s not a spokesperson for SU. He’s a fan with money who is friendly with the coach. Who’s judgement included that completely goofy car trip to see that recruit sign with Hop.

This is a serious matter and this type of
candor could be problematic.

It’s bad enough to lose your family member, but to have it repeated over and over on TV has to be horrible as well.

There are no winners here.

Adam Weitsman, cont: "The community will be getting together. People will be excited. And people will be mourning. (Boeheim) should be there mourning too. We usually talk basketball. All we talked about today, was (Jimenez's) family." (2/2).

Man, this clown needs to sit down.

 

[Arangeman]

Just heard that. I certainly can’t fault them.

I get it.

But this is still America, and he still has the right to answer those questions if he’s getting asked them.

How do you propose to stop him from doing so?

I’d imagine if JB or JW asked him to put a cork in it, he probably would.
So it appears they haven’t.

 

[wiseman3]

I think the media has actually done a pretty good job in recognizing Jimenez and his family. Of course the focus is heavily on Boeheim, the most famous man in Syracuse. Ultimately, for better or worse, it is his decision if he wants to coach. Its his way of dealing with it. The step son even said he doesn't want the game to be played. I get why he feels that way but no way the game isn't played. Life goes on

Where did we see this? Obviously not doubting you - just curious if there is a link.

 

[721Comstock]

You and every last other one of us.

Some people have discretion and candor.
Some have zero filter.

 

[Arangeman]

Yeah. He needs to be talked to.

It’s a delicate situation being handled with well thought out press releases. We really don’t need him shooting from the hip. He could easily say something that may reflect poorly on JB, SU, etc...

Sometimes less is more. But this is the same guy who’s bringing Gronk to the game, so.

No idea if he’d listen if so.

Was just on radio, Axe show

 

[sdcuseguy]

Man, this clown needs to sit down.

Everything he said was innocuous. Yes he could have said no comment but seems he was trying to be supportive of JB, the family and the community. If he actually reached out to the press that’s one thing but if it was the other way around, I wouldn’t have done it but see no harm. He does seem a little self important , I will say that.

 

[whobut03]

Yeah. He needs to be talked to.

Totally agree and thought the same thing... We get it Adam, you're friends with Boeheim...
