me too, but reading the tea leaves on this board it seemed like the school might have indeed been trying to force it.I didn't have much doubt. Unless the school forced it.
My first thought, too.Weird statement "I have respectfully decided"
Weird statement "I have respectfully decided that Coach Boeheim will resume his coaching duties". Doesn't that imply he was told to stop coaching?
SU is blessed to have great leadership.
I believe this oddly worded statement was intended to optically make it look like Boeheim didn’t make the decision in order to take away second guessing against him. I am sure Boeheim had a lot of influence here and Wildhack ultimately deferred to JB.My first thought, too.
No, that is leadership. Wildhack is taking all the potential heat for this onto himself.
Exactly.

I like that “the Jimenez family” is the first thing written. It shows that their loss is the most important thing.
I think Wildhack wanted to clearly own this decision up front. It’s the tail wagging the dog otherwise. Very very strong leadership position from him...whether you agree with the decision or not...it was delivered as it should be.Yeah, really not sure how I feel about this messaging but thought he would coach all along. Tough situation and a statement was probably needed but the fact that Wildhack implied it was his decision is a little curious.
