Do you think Boeheim has a set retirement date that he will stick to?

What the hell was the purpose of this?

Pity me, I don't have the money to compete w Pitt, wake and Miami, waaaah.
Pathetic

Best win of the year needed a counter balance of stupidity. Nature heals itself immediately

Predictably, this has gone from bad to worse.

Effin’ arrogant moron

This is EXACTLY how many of us predicted things would go the longer he stays coach with the downward trajectory we have had.

 

[Manleymen]

Thankful we won yesterday. The meltdown would have been much worse. Phew!

 

[SUFan44]

Less than 24 hours after making his initial comments, he's retracting some.

This is horrific PR, and all the more reason that this charade needs to end ASAP.

It cannot be left to him. It cannot. Because it won't happen.

Nothing regarding probations or recruiting violations should ever be mentioned again after what was exposed with the FBI investigation. Basically, every coach had his team and career bought for him. Syracuse didn't show up on any of the spreadsheets and has been investigated TWICE, and yet no pay for play came to light.

It's time to start emailing Syverud

Remember when a segment of the fanbase convinced themselves that there was an actual ironclad plan, and were rallying around the telephone game rumor that something was going to be announced last summer?

Good times.

I still believe there is an ironclad plan.
Plan is JB coaches as long as he wants and then an assistant takes over.It is what it is.

Good job by Boeheim to troll us in the Thamel article. Everything he said we already knew he feels, he just put pen to paper on it to piss us off.

Anyone have connections to get me a press pass? I will 100% not let you down at the next home game presser. Don’t care if it permanently bans me from the dome

I read all these posts before I actually read the article. People are going way overboard with what JB said. I’m sure it’s his decision if and when he retires. He’s not saying no one can get rid of me. People acting like no one can tell me what to do is not accurate. Personally, and this is only my opinion, this is JB being the same person he’s been for 47 years. Like him or hate him, this is classic JB.

Knight’s halfcourter still came after the buzzer, regardless.

 

[JustPherU]

Does anyone disagree with his thoughts on the state of college basketball?

 

[FrancoPizza]

While 95% isn’t close to accurate (look no further than attendance), this board isn’t representative of the fan base as a whole.

If anything this board presents an overly optimistic view of the fan base.

 

[hoopsupstate]

At least he was calm and collected in the post game press conference. I guess he was only warming up.

 

[MSOrange]

More good publicity courtesy of JB and his enablers. Kudos! And I can't help but notice that even people who have generally been JB supporters over the years have commented on this thread, and I'd put myself in that category.

He didn’t need to stir up 3 random league programs. For what?

My thought on that was….If it’s so awful, then leave?

Uhhhh… what?

 

[Red Holzman]

95% (?)
Do annual Dome attendance totals support that assertion?

I must live in an Alternative Reality.

 

[Orangezoo]

Crickets from the JB can do no wrong this thread.

That aside, these comments are just bad. They don't serve a purpose that benefits the program, players (past, present and future) and then most certainly don't benefit Jim. They also place a direct statement regarding retirement and the next coach in an abrasive manner vs the soft comments from JW.

This is just a bad look all around.

 

[tptcuse]

I think there’s a reason he said that.

If that is true, it seems like a bad idea. That guy is all over social media and isn't going to sit quietly when someone asks him his thoughts on the comment.

Like a lot of fans of college sports are doing these days huh?
