Jim Boeheim’s retirement as the head coach of the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team has been a running joke for over a decade now. Since he’s 74 years old, everyone wants to know when he’s going to call it quits. Yet he’s never really seemed all that likely to do so — even when we had an actual date attached to the event (which has since come and gone).
We’ve had updates around this recently — back in April, even — but the latest quote from Boeheim seems more adamant that it’s never happening than it ever has before.
