Jim Boeheim (and one other) test positive for COVID; basketball program pauses...

[pearl31]

Well, that's not good for a man who's 75.

yeah, this.
and he apparently was trying to be as careful as possible.
scary stuff

 

[djorange1989]

Pitino is right. I hate him but he is right

yep was thinking the same thing. It is going to be a disaster if they try to start the season as planned. Prayers to JB and family

I’m assuming way more people have actually contracted the virus and didn’t even know it because they were asymptotic. If JB wasn’t in a structured testing protocol system there’s no way he would have known he contracted the virus.

 

[bballbeadle]

Izzo has it, too.

 

[Trueblue25]

Izzo has it, too.

Jeez

"Unidentified team member. "

But yeah, Buddy would have a higher probability than anyone else.

No It isn't Buddy

 

[sutomcat]

Prayers for JB and whoever else has this. I think the next 3 or 4 months are going to be very tough for athletes and everyone else. Hope everyone keeps safe and makes it through okay.

 

[Marroniac]

NCAA will somehow say this is a violation and put us on probation again.

 

[Briancuse]

Get better coach.

 

[Todoubled23]

May COVID be as confused attacking JB as Crean and Izzo are

 

[GooseMutt]

basketball. Time to take care of family!

 

[kcsu]

JB will be fine. He is in great shape, doesn't have any symptoms and will be well taken care of. Hopefully the vaccine will be approved and the world can begin to turn the tide.
Prayers for coach.

I agree with this.

But I can't say I didn't have the 'what if' thought about JB not being able to coach for a period of time, who takes over?

 

[CuseRunner]

JB will be fine. He is young in mentality and physically for his age.

 

[moqui]

Well, that's not good for a man who's 75.

Hope he beats it quickly and easily.

he's way more fit and healthy than a recent famous 74 year old who got it & recovered quickly
my heart is with jb & my money is on him

 

[kcsu]

Red is second in command. He would take over.

Probably, though you never know for sure with this damn thing. Get well soon JB

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Hoping for the best for everyone involved. Would be very interested to hear how this happened with all the protections the team and university have put in place.

Pretty sure you never will. Haven’t heard a story about athlete breaking protocol yet. But they are just about everywhere I’m guessing.

 

[rrlbees]

Get well soon Coach. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

[Orangello]

But of course...

 

[OttoinGrotto]

This is crappy news.

Get well coach and unnamed member of the basketball program.

40% of all people that contract the virus are asymptomatic so you tell me

Tell you what ?
