My question for tomorrow night's Jim Boeheim Show

[SWC75]

(The show information is last years: they haven't posted an article about this year's show yet so i'll assume it hasn't changed)

Jim Boeheim’s radio show is on Thursdays from 7-9PM on ESPN Radio in Syracuse, which is AM1200 or FM 97.7 on the dial. The show originates from Delmonico’s Italian Steakhouse on Erie Boulevard in Syracuse. The first hour, hosted by Matt Park, the Voice of the Orange, is on their general network. The second hour, which begins with the conference season, is hosted by Gomez, a local radio personality.

You can call into the show locally at 315-424-8599 or nationally at 1-888-746-2873. For Gomez’s portion, use 315-424-8599. Or you can submit questions from this page:

Or on Twitter at mattpark1.

The show can be heard in Syracuse on FM 99.5. It’s sometime simulcast on AM 1200 or FM 97.7. You can also get it on: http://tunein.com/radio/WGVA-1240-s29191/

I will be posting my rough transcript the night of the broadcast focusing on my questions, the team and their last and next games and then a second post the next day on other things that were discussed.

MY QUESTIONS/COMMENTS

(Some years they have started out just with an hour show and later shifted to a two hour show. I came up with two questions and sent in the first, which is the question I always like to begin the year with. If it’s a two hour show, I’ll ask the second in the second hour.)

First hour:

"Coach, each year there are three groups of players: those who left, the new guys, and the returning guys. Often the improvement of the returning guys is the biggest factor in the new season, especially since the Melo Center opened. Could you discuss the returning players and areas where they have improved and tell us which guys will most surprise the fans who remember them from last year?"

Second hour:

"Coach, it’s been suggested that you rarely use more than 7-8 players in your rotation so that a reduction in available scholarships from 13 to 10 won’t have much of an impact. What is the impact of that reduction on your program and how do plan on working around it?"

if possible, question 3

what are the status of any appeals with regard to the over the top NCAA sanctions and when can resolution be reasonably expected?

I wanted to ask about the team as we are starting the season. You can call that question in if you want to.

SWC, thank you for doing this every year! It has such high value for the board. I will be very interested in his answer for the first question. Offhand, I would say Kaleb. But what do I know? I am only an ignorant fan with stars in her eyes and lust in her heart - for a good season!

Thanks from me as well, SWC. You consistently get better answers and keener insights out of the coach than about 95% of the media.

I'm smart. I wait a few days since the least game and think carefully about what i want to ask. And then i wait until he's got some of that Delmonico's comfort food in him. Then I ask the question. It also helps to not be a member of the media.
