Bleeding Orange: Required Reading for Syraucse Fans (and Probably Beoheim Haters Too; TNIAAM; Keeley)
I'll be honest, there was a part of me that wasn't all that excited about reading Bleeding Orange, the new autobiography by Jim Boeheim (with a little, or more likely a lot of, help from Jack McCallum).
I kinda had it in the back of my mind that it was just going to be the same trip down memory lane that we got with books like Color Him Orange or even How To Grow An Orange. By now, all Syracuse Orange fans know the story about how Boeheim "almost" took the Rochester job, how he ruined Rick Pitino's honeymoon, that he briefly considered the Ohio State job and that Derrick Coleman was a pain in the ass. Would this just be a regurgitation of those stories?
Well, yes, it is. But in truth, Bleeding Orange is so much more as well. It's exactly what an autobiography should be. A look back at one's life with a honest take, insights that only you would have and with tidbits that readers wouldn't get anywhere else.
