Duke Legend Mike Krzyzewski: Jim Boeheim's Syracuse Exit Shouldn't Have Been Awkward

Legendary Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim was let go following Wednesday's ACC tournament loss to Wake Forest, but the announcement came after his press conference that included plenty of ambiguity.

Former Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski retired after last season and doesn't think Boeheim's exit should have been less awkward, per ESPN's Pete Thamel:

"In Jim's case, he was never completely sure. When you do something as long as he has in the place that he's done it—he was never completely sure.

"The other day was awkward. Syracuse the university and Syracuse athletics and Syracuse basketball, they should all be one in making this announcement.
