Jim Boeheim talks 2-3 zone, NIL, state of college athletics at ACC Media Day

The Atlantic Coast Conference held its annual Media Day in Charlotte, North Carolina, on Tuesday. The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team was represented by head coach Jim Boeheim along with players Buddy Boeheim and Bourama Sidibe.

As is tradition, program representatives fielded a mélange of questions — some serious, some not. Much attention was centered around the upcoming season along with topical subjects such as Name, Image and Likeness.

The elder Boehiem’s discussion was focused around NIL, but the head coach also addressed last season, the state of college athletics and how the 2-3 zone came to be the primary defensive scheme at SU.
