“Tavern League”Which gets me thinking - what would JAB's Secret Service codename be?
"2-3 Zone"?
"Chicken Parm"?

Put someone in there from AD. It’s a big deal. Shoot out JW in there if you need to.Just curious how. This wasn’t conducted on campus, the ACC likely controlled the presser.
The conference tournament press conferences always have players up there.I don’t know what the protocol is for press conferences but it seems to me he usually does them alone. Wondering if having a couple of other players there sort of helped him retain some degree of composure.
We’ve got a lovely suite for you….I have to think that the much stronger likelihood is that he went off script, asking for another job with the university. I mean, as others have said, Autry had to have agreed to take the job, and then there's JB saying, "eh, maybe they'll still keep me; it's up to the university".
If I'm Autry, I'm NEVER having Boeheim come to practice, and I'm not giving him a seat anywhere near the bench.
Yeah, maybe name it the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation, if that's not already taken.Yep. I'm baffled that there is some expectation that he be handed a lucrative, no-show job.
This ain't the mob.
Guy has all the money he could ever hope to spend in his remaining years on Earth, and his family is set up for long after that. Go get a TV gig (he'd be great at it) or start a non-profit or something.
You're not gonna believe this, but the name is taken. What are the odds?Yeah, maybe name it the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation, if that's not already taken.
Damn, really?! Who woulda thunk?!You're not gonna believe this, but the name is taken. What are the odds?

How can JW control what JB said? I don’t think Juli can do that with JBThe AD should control what is said and what isn’t. It never should have been left to him.
Some of the takes on this board are outrageous and very comedicEh. All Jim had to do was say "Today I'm talking about the game we just had and the players who gave everything they had this season, like Jesse and Benny here. There will be time to talk about all that other stuff later."
That's it, that's all he needed to do.
Are you suggesting that a staffer should have leapt in when Donna asked that question and whisked Jim away, secret service style?

When this was planned, they probably didn't expect an ACCT loss to be definitively the end of the season. No NCAAs, no bubble, no NIT, no bubble of the NIT. Nothing. Not even a sliver of a doubt about whether it was the last game of the year. There's usually a media availability after the post-season outcome is finalized, if I recall correctly.yeah I'm hoping the school/ad didn't actually plan to have JB announce during a presser following an ACCT loss. that would be a bad plan. I do agree this seems to be almost entirely on JB as to how it went down yesterday - as others have stated best thing would have been him to "no comment" the Qs on his job status and then have a statement and/or planned presser happen today.
JB gonna JB
I think Roy's job is to attend every UNC game and have a worried look on his face.
I believe the agreement was he would announce it at the last presser of the season (whenever they lost in the ACC's). Something was mismanaged somewhere along the line, but it may just be JB going rogue as he's known to do.
I also know the SU Comms people and Advancement are L-I-V-I-D with the athletic department. They're concerned about how this may affect donors and, obviously, media perception of the university.
If you don't think he can add value to the university you are even more of a fool than I originally thought and that is saying something. Enjoy your victory lapTo do what?
There has to be some functional role in order to have a job. And the way he has acted and submarined things the last 4-5-6 years, what would he do?
Add that to the hovering angle that has already been mentioned... and there is very little upside to keeping him on staff.
All I want to I know is: did he ask to be Deputy AD.You may not like this but, what I am hearing is that JB burned a lot of bridges with some of his press conference statements, which he had to walk back and were the final impetus for change. JB knew this would be the last year but he was asking for, I will say "things", the University was not willing to agree to. The plan was not to have JB announce he was retiring in the post-game press conference. As is his practice, he went rogue with a broadside in an effort to extract what he wanted. He once again misread the room and here we are.
Lets go Red! LGO!
Alright, you're the AD. You've decided this year is it, and he's retiring or he's out. He refuses to play along and says no he won't announce a retirement, he won't do a big send off, it's on you to make a move if you want to make a move.Well they should be. The way this was done makes the university look amateurish and petty. Everyone can argue what role Jimmy's stubbornness played in this but the AD department and SU leadership has to be more professional. Poor job by SU

Good luck squashing the questions about retirement.the optics were terrible... but JB should have never been left to his own devices answering that question in the presser to begin with. As AZ said, the admin could have squashed the retirement questions, but didn't... everyone shares the blame here and it's unfortunate.
I for one think he certainly can add value to the university. But I'm not sure he's willing to add value to the university, at least not in a way that doesn't meddle with Red and the program.If you don't think he can add value to the university you are even more of a fool than I originally thought and that is saying something.

I mean this is what you're supposed to do. "Brutal loss coach, sorry. Remember, you're going to be asked about retirement. The plan is just to say you're talking about the game and you'll discuss the future back in Syracuse. Once you shut it down they'll move onto the game."After the game? "Sorry Coach. Brutal loss there. That was poor shot selection from JGIII. Sorry about that. Oh, hey, one more thing: remember that you are retiring today. Presser is two doors down the hall. Good luck."
exactly. We handled it poorly
