For Syracuse Basketball’s Jim and Buddy Boeheim, it’s coach-player on the court and father-son off

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Such is the case for Syracuse Orange basketball freshman Jack “Buddy” Boeheim. After growing up in Syracuse and spending his childhood around the Syracuse basketball program, Buddy has embarked on a new yet familiar journey. He’s now officially a member of the Syracuse basketball team. He’s on scholarship and officially playing for his dad, Jim Boeheim. But as far as Buddy is concerned, nothing has really changed.

“It honestly feels the same, it feels right,” He said at media day. “It feels like I’ve always belonged here and just looking down and seeing the ‘Syracuse’ on your chest, playing in this uniform is a dream come true.
