He's obviously emotional. Boeheim on Pearl's passing. "It's tough to lose him so soon." Boeheim said he knew this day was coming but it doesn't make it easier. Boeheim: "We were lucky to have him, lucky to coach him... People came (to the Dome) because they wanted to see Pearl Washington play." Boeheim on Pearl's impact. "He was the only guy who could fill the Dome." Boeheim first saw Pearl in Wheelchair classic. 9 pm game and people were there at 4. Boeheim was so emotional. "He was one of a kind." And then walks away. Reporters all quiet for a minute. [/QUOTE]
