Can you imagine the feelings for each other during that moment? Oshae becoming who I think will be a very good player for the Pacers and Jim able to not worry about his team. He’s free to go about the country following Buddy and whatever he wants to after 47 years. It’s like taking a breath of wonderful 100 % fresh air.

ENJOY and be great in your retirement Jim – do everything you want to do first for you and for you and Juli and your family. Everything is yours to love doing. Everybody at SU loves you man.

No matter what you said to your players, the press, and administration during those years at Manley and the Dome and at the pressers, you made all of it interesting. It was all about you. You got under peoples skin when they weren’t expecting it or were and got everyone’s attention good and bad and you did it all from the point of view of loving your wife, your family, your players, Syracuse University Basketball and Syracuse, maybe not exactly in that order.

30,000 trudging the hill up to see your teams play, ARE YOU KIDDING ME? You gave people a reason to be on winter Friday and Saturday nights, not only in Syracuse but wherever there were fans and alums. IMO you have given your best, an authentic great basketball coach who said and did as he believed and created 1116 wins. You are one of two of the greatest college basketball coaches ever, you rascal. You made everything exciting on the hill. What a wonderful life – keep it exciting!
