Syracuse's Jim Boeheim says school has plan for when he retires as head coach

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim said Wednesday that there is a plan in place for when he steps down.

Boeheim, in an interview with ESPN Radio in Syracuse, did not reveal any details of the arrangement because that could have an effect on recruiting. He said the university will decide when to make it public and he expects to have input on the selection of his replacement.

"There's a plan," Boeheim said. "I'm just telling you there's a plan."

Boeheim, who at 77 is the second-winningest coach in Division I history with 997 victories, behind only Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, is nearing the end of his 46th season at the helm.
