What should we make of Syracuse?
Jim Boeheim is a Hall of Fame coach, has been since 2005. He’s been at Syracuse, with the exception of just a few years after he graduated, since 1962.
That’s really extraordinary. How many people have been at the same place for 59 years? We think we can give him the three years he spent playing professionally with the Scranton Miners of the old ECBL. Clearly his heart has always been with Syracuse.
He’s racked up 982 wins, second only to Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, and if you added the 101 that the NCAA took away, he’d be just the second D-1 coach to top 1000, something he might do by the end of this season anyway.
