That's irrelevant. This is about Jim. If Jim can't see that he's no longer a viable coach for Syracuse Basketball then someone needs to step in and make it abundantly clear.

Whether Boeheim stays or goes...it's wrong to treat him, fans and the university this way.
SU makes itself look like Chaos University.
At the very least the administration could have told him let's get together on it after the season.
So today he could have said we're going to talk things over
Which would hve been a reasonable and relatively classy position for everyone to take.

not saying you're necessarily wrong, but JB hasn't made things easy. behind the scenes, JW has been incredibly frustrated.

This is Jim Boeheim, folks. Juli may have softened the edges a bit, but the 78 year old curmudgeon was a curmudgeon when I was at SU, and that was in the 1980s. This was never going to have a clean ending

This isn’t getting talked about enough. I’m also pretty sure he hasn’t hired a single person that wasn’t in house out of the 7 new head coaches he has hired since being here. An alumna or assistant under the previous HC has gotten every job thus far

It is possible that JB and JW agreed to discuss after the final game. I think the expectation that we all should know at the post game press conference is unrealistic. If he is retiring and Red is getting the head coaching job, then it should be announced properly at a press conference in Syracuse.
The fact that you and I don't know yet does not mean that JB is selfish or that JW is incompetent It just means we are inpatient. Let's see what happens over the next few days before we decide which names we want to call our coach and AD.

What a bizarre press conference and now situation. Wildhack needs to put out a statement ASAP.

Is he trying to put the pressure on JW because he thinks 95% of the fanbase wants him back?
Makes their basketball program look chaotic. Non college basketball fans probably don’t see this as much more than sports people getting worked over how rich people handle their business

Then say something like I haven’t thought about it, or those discussions will happen over the next few days. He is the one that put his foot in mouth.

For sure, hes in an impossible position which is why when they made the hire I was hoping it was an experienced AD
I think he just loves coaching basketball and doesn’t want to stop.
Everyone is treating this like some selfish, prideful thing. Why can’t it be that he just wants to coach basketball?
People are acting like he has to admit he can’t coach anymore like it’s some objective fact. They’re acting like confidence in your own abilities is a character flaw.

100% His picks so far have been low risk safety picks. Hasn't really swung for the fences at all, just bunts
That "95%" quote from Jim will continue to be one of the funniest things I've heard in ages. I laugh so hard every time I think about how ridiculous it is lol

This is about how he has decided to conduct himself in the public eye around this issue. Why is this awful embarrassing and confusing presser ok?
Stop excusing this crap. There are a million things in life we all want to do, but everyone has to make tough decisions in life for yourself and others. It is 100% selfish on Jim's part.
I agree.

Fire him on the tarmac tonight at Hancock and make press statement tonight. Don't allow him in front of a microphone as a rep of the University again.
