Syracuse Basketball: Mike Hopkins Formally Named Jim Boeheim's Designated Replacement

Never a dull moment for Syracuse athletics!

Mark Coyle was introduced as the next Syracuse athletic director on Monday. And it appears he won't waste any time with the biggest concern on every Orange fans' mind. As SI.com's Pete Thamel reported not too long ago:

Well, wow. I guess we won't be wasting any time...

The move -- again, both expected but anxiously awaited by the SU faithful -- is a bold one that allows the new administration to hit the ground running and set the tone for Coyle's tenure.
