Syracuse basketball boss Jim Boeheim is among many head coaches who took a ton of years to capture a title.

Syracuse basketball head coach Jim Boeheim has served at the helm of the Orange for 44 seasons, all of them winning ones at that, yet plenty of ‘Cuse fanatics slam him for not having claimed more than one NCAA championship.

While I always respect the opinions of others, for me, that kind of criticism is unfair. Boeheim built up a regional program on the Hill and turned it into a national powerhouse.
