Jim Boeheim, the Hall of Fame Syracuse coach known for his zone defense and the national championship he won in 2003 with the star freshman Carmelo Anthony, is no longer the team’s coach after 47 seasons, university officials said on Wednesday.
Adrian Autry, a former player for Boeheim who has been the men’s basketball team’s associate head coach since 2017, was named as his successor.
It was not immediately clear whether Boeheim had retired or been fired, but news of his exit came hours after Syracuse lost, 77-74, in the Atlantic Coast Conference tournament to Wake Forest, on a 3-pointer in the game’s final second by Daivien Williamson.
