From a Syracuse.com story at the time of the announcement that JB would again coach the Olympic team with Coach K:

"But the Olympic announcement provides us with something we have never had in the Boeheim discussion.

A natural deadline.

When it was suggested to Mike Krzyzewski recently by his wife, Mickie, that it might be easier on him to coach USA Basketball [URL='http://www.syracuse.com/orangebasketball/index.ssf/2013/05/mike_krzyzewski_is_formally_an.html']if he were no longer the Duke head coach[/URL], he disagreed with her.

"I said really, it's just the opposite," Krzyzewski said. "I don't think anybody should coach the team unless they're coaching. In other words, you gotta stay sharp. I'm coaching in the best league, against the best competition, the best players that I can."

While Boeheim hasn't commented on this specifically (as of this writing) you would have to make a strong assumption he agrees with Coach K on this point.

If Boehiem does subscribe to Coach K's "stay sharp" theory, that gives him three more seasons (2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16) leading right up to the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
