I think he announces his retirement after the loss in the ACCT. He knows it's over.

I think that it's been over for a few years now. He must have known it.

Other than game days, he has "quietly quit" for several years now.

 

[whobut03]

I know for sure I could make that happen. Not kidding. JB turned down my invite to play Augusta so he will prob turn that down as well

Eh. Augusta is just Onondaga in July - JB, probably.

 

[Scooch]

Sticking around for the wins record?!

That’s absolute insanity. He’s not doing that.

The only reason JB is still here is because he literally doesn’t know what else to do, and he simply can’t stop being “Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim”. They’re gonna have to quiet fire him because he ain’t leaving on his own.

You can argue he quit when he decided to stop recruiting hard

 

[Millhouse]

He’s awful., he shouldn’t play.

No point in playing him when you've decided to shoot fewer threes than everyone else in the world

 

[Eric15]

One national championship. Who cares if JB has the most wins. He is not in the top 10 of all time coaches in my opinion. We owe him nothing.

Eh, I wouldn't go that far. He's in the 8-10 range all-time.

 

[Millhouse]

I see we’ve arrived at the point were the pendulum has started to swing too far in one direction.

He and everyone who liked it are such children

 

[Bulldog04]

Eh. Augusta is just Onondaga in July - JB, probably.

His exact response was “I’ve played it. It’s alright”. Word for word. Offered to take him Gmac and Griff during peach jam and then realized JB doesn’t even go to that lol

I lean in this direction also. But wow if it actually is the wins record, the NCAA really did screw us over with those sanctions - just a few years later than we expected.

Are you giving lifetime achievement credits, or simply basing it on pure coaching ability, regardless of longevity or other potentially mitigating circumstances (resources, TV exposure, etc…)

I’ll tackle the low-hanging fruit first.

All from coaches who were active when JB started, so no Wooden, Rupp, Phog Allen, etc…

Who do you disagree with below?

K
Dean Smith
Roy
Knight
Calhoun
Pitino
Jay Wright
Self
Izzo
Cal
Donovan

I think you can lump he, Izzo and Cal together. One title for Cal at UK. He and Tubby’s resume is about the same and in actuality Tubby never missed the tournament and still got fired. Cal is lucky he hasn’t been chopped yet.

Willing to take a random internet stranger? I won’t pass that up

 

[DoctorBombay]

Complete nonsense.

Turn your sarcasm meter on.

 

[DoctorBombay]

Just to head off any further discussion, this is sarcasm from Zelda Zonk.

Was it that obvious?

 

[tptcuse]

I think he announces his retirement after the loss in the ACCT. He knows it's over.

Something like, "Donna and Mike, you'll be happy to know I've decided to retire. Gives you something to write about. But let me tell you how statistics work..."

 

[Gotothehole]

Jim Boeheim is doing a masterful job this last month of showing the signs of someone who should retire but is too stubborn to do so.

 

[AZOrange]

His exact response was “I’ve played it. It’s alright”. Word for word. Offered to take him Gmac and Griff during peach jam and then realized JB doesn’t even go to that lol

Funny. Lots of hills for a 75 plus guy

 

[Lukeyloo]

You

In the one year of the portal as we know it? Okay lol people getting desperate now

I’ll believe it when I see it in regards to Boeheim going big on the transfer portal. Up until recently he openly held the stance that, for the most part, he didn’t want guys from the transfer portal because either they’re not good or there’s a problem with them and that’s why they’re in the portal. Which is clearly not the only case, because most teams in the ACC have at least one impact transfer.

 

[Cuse1055]

Thing is during his speech at halftime of the Georgetown game he sounded like a man who knew the end was in sight. He was on the verge of tears and it was the most humility I’ve seen from him. I actually thought for a second that he was going to announce his retirement then.

 

[miamicuse]

Losing is -1, but we are +19000 in attendance, ok, these are facts, and you guys kept writing about losing. We can't get Picassos to paint houses.

 

[kcsu]

Is Jim the oldest active teacher at SU

Obviously JB has done a lot for the community, but putting that aside, and looking only at coaching resume, I see Boeheim closer to Ray Meyer.

 

[Frozen]

Does he?

Not trying to be sarcastic. JB is just a stubborn dude.

 

[elimunelson]

If he doesn’t want the send off then yeah

I’d be on the lookout for any smoke prior to final home game. If his kids are there, former players etc

 

[llandz]

Aren't you well connected? What do ypu think the scuttlebutt around the office cooler is?

I am not anymore. I served 20 years in volunteer alumni relations. My 4 years on the national alumni board ended last summer, and now I am just a regular fan. Also turn over of staff has really left me out in the cold. I don't even know anyone anymore. I have friends who feed me some stuff. But this is all buttoned up.
