Mike's Mailbox: How many states has Jim Boeheim coached in?

[CA Monk]

That's easy: I count 4 different states.
Anxiety - When he bends sideways after an important shot is launched
Disbelief - Coat throwing on bad calls
Grumpiness - Make a mistake and you're out
HOF Perfection - What can I say, he took us to the Promised Land

 

[OttoMets]

Probably easier to say which states he hasn't coached in: Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, both Dakotas, Wyoming, probably Nebraska, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Delaware, and maybe Mississippi? And I know SU's played in Kansas City in my lifetime, but maybe Boeheim's never crossed the river into the state of Kansas?

This would be a good Sporcle quiz.

I'll bet you guessed without reading the article:

It's easier to put together a list where he hasn't coached a game. Those 15 states are Delaware, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington and Wyoming.

You got 13/15.

I was thinking that Iowa was where Boeheim fell off the raised court in the '70s. But that was before my time and I guess I was wrong.

Oklahoma, good call. Played Tulsa and Oklahoma State in New York and Oklahoma in Memphis or Miami or someplace, but never played a game in the state.

I assumed the answer was one -- New York.

Are we sure these answers have considered NCAA Tourney games? Seems unlikely he has never taken a team to Portland, Seattle, Boise, Nashua, Tulsa, OKC, etc.

Nashua? For serious?

Nashua? For serious?

That would be on the list if we were listing Dunder Mifflin branches.

Could it have been Minnesota? It has a raised court.

Looked it up - I think it was at Purdue?
