Syracuse basketball doesn’t have a ‘succession plan’ for Jim Boeheim

With the Syracuse basketball team floundering at 14-12 and currently on pace to miss the NCAA Tournament for the third time in six years, questions have arisen about the future.

One of the biggest questions surrounds Orange head coach Jim Boeheim.

Jim is the oldest division one head coach in the country at 75 (will be 76 during the 2020-21 season) and he’s the oldest division one college basketball head coach in history (John Chaney used to hold that title at 74 years of age).

If the Orange miss the NCAA Tournament this season it’ll be the first time ever under head coach Jim Boeheim that Syracuse has missed March Madness three times in any six-year span.
