RIO DE JANEIRO – United States men's basketball assistant coach Jim Boeheim has used the platform of the Olympic Games to speak out strongly against what he called presidential candidate Donald Trump's “radicalized” campaign.
Boeheim, who is serving as an aide to head coach Mike Krzyzewski in Rio, called out Trump, the Republican Party nominee, in his regular Olympic column for Syracuse.com.
“You don’t see the news down here,” the Syracuse University coach wrote. “Not much, anyway. So we don’t talk a lot about Donald Trump. But I will say it’s a sad state of affairs that he could be running for president.
