The Jim Boeheim era at Syracuse is officially over. After 47 years as head coach, Syracuse University announced that Boeheim’s storied career has come to a conclusion. Associate head coach Adrian Autry has been named the program’s next head coach.
The Syracuse men’s basketball team lost in heartbreaking fashion on Wednesday in the ACC Tournament Second Round. Wake Forest buried a last second three-pointer to win 77-74, ending Syracuse’s season. Naturally, Boeheim was asked about his impending retirement following the game.
Boeheim, 78, said it was Syracuse University’s decision on whether he coached again next season, alluding to his contract not being renewed.
