After Syracuse routed Florida State 96-57 in the ACC tournament Wednesday, coach Jim Boeheim weighed in on the punch his son, Buddy Boeheim, threw in the second quarter.
The punch was a cheap shot on Florida State guard Wyatt Wilkes, and no foul was called. Syracuse.com’s Brent Axe was told by ESPN’s studio crew that the ACC is going to review Buddy’s punch, and he could be suspended. Syracuse’s coach defended his son postgame.
Jim Boeheim said if the officials had seen the punch, it would have been a flagrant 1, per the Associated Press’s Ralph Russo.
