Jim Boeheim re-emphasizes return to Syracuse next season, departures of Buddy Boeheim, Jimmy Boeheim & Cole Swider

Following the Syracuse Orange men’s basketball team’s loss to the Duke Blue Devils on Saturday, Jim Boeheim re-emphasized his plan to coach at Syracuse for the 2022-23 season. Boeheim has mentioned multiple times this season his intent to return to coach Syracuse next fall. He hasn’t indicated otherwise.

Boeheim’s retirement has been a hot-button topic in recent years. His retirement was initially planned in 2015 as his career was expected to sunset following the 2017-18 season. That plan was scratched after the 2016-17 season when Mike Hopkins, the coach in waiting at Syracuse, took the head coaching position at Washington.
