Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim announced Sunday that he has tested positive for COVID-19.
Here are more details from ESPN:
Boeheim, who will turn 76 on Tuesday, is the second Hall of Fame college basketball coach to test positive in the past week. Michigan State’s Tom Izzo announced Monday he had tested positive.
Syracuse also announced Sunday it was pausing men’s basketball activities following the positive tests for Boeheim and one other member of the program.
“Our top priority is the health and well-being of our student-athletes, Coach Boeheim and all members of the basketball program,” athletic director John Wildhack said in a statement.
