By the end of last season, everyone pretty much agreed: it was time - past time, really - for Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim to retire.
No one doubted his accomplishments. This is a phenomenal way to frame that: Boeheim, as a player, an assistant or head coach, was involved in all but one of Syracuse’s 47 NCAA appearances.
That seems nearly impossible but there you go.
Still, it was clear that his program had gotten musty and in the end, Boehiem knew it was time.
His replacement is former Syracuse star and Boeheim assistant Adrian Autry.
