Syracuse basketball head coach Jim Boeheim received high praise from Rutgers’ boss.

After Syracuse basketball suffered its first defeat of the young 2020-21 season this past Tuesday night at No. 21 Rutgers, the typical sequence occurred on social media, including the call for head coach Jim Boeheim to get shown the door.

A bunch of Orange fans lamented about the ‘Cuse 10-point setback, expressing their frustration over the team’s performance, ripping into certain players who struggled, and postulating that Boeheim is relying on old-school coaching techniques that don’t fly in today’s game of college basketball.
