Boeheim deserved better? How so? Dude is the biggest a55hole in sports. Paid players. Killed someone and had it covered up. Belittles SU student reporters. One of college basketball's biggest whiners. Thank God SU finally grew some spine and fired him.
 

Irrelevant of what kind of guy he is, I meant that one of the sport's most successful Coaches, 47 years at the same  school  (60 years total)  shoudn't be swept out the door like that.    


 

SU has been terrible for years. He's lucky he didn't get fired sooner.

Sweet 16 in 2021, 2020 is COVID, Sweet 16 in 2019 Sweet 16 in 2018 Final Four in 2016.  Another Final Four in 2013 pretty darn successful last decade!

It's really just the last two years things went South on the court. 

(Off the court you're right, so if that were the reason I'd say overdue)

Apparently Jerod Haase is returning for an eighth year. LOL. I guess he graduates guys which might be all that matters at Stanford but talk about doing less with more. Brings in good talent but is 59-72 in Pac-12 play through seven seasons with no tournament appearances.

Everyone from Boeheim on up the chain at Syracuse knew about the Bernie Fine situation. If not, it's part of their job description to know and can't claim ignorance as a defense.

Just as Maltzman, Knapp and company knew about our own sexual predator Nero and turned a blind eye towards it until GW was exposed by a recruit's parent and they finally excised him.

Pretty familiar with the facts in both situations. The GW case was far worse from this standpoint. The information was given to Maltzman and Knapp. They chose to ignore it. In the case of Syracuse Admin., no information was brought to the Syracuse Admin. until the guy went public in the media years later. Also, two of the complainants later recanted their claims against Fine saying they made them up. The state investigation resulted in no charges because the statute of limitations had run. There was a separate federal investigation and no charges were brought against Fine.

I am not defending Fine here by any stretch. I have no idea whether he was guilty or not. But to say that Boeheim was complicit in something that may or may not have happened is a stretch.

I’m more than willing to admit I was wrong. Have no insider info on that whole situation so I didn’t know all of that

I'm an upstate NY Native and a lifelong Syracuse fan.  I'll always love Boeheim for what he did for the area.  Was he a jerk at times, especially to reports (even student ones), absolutely.  However, Alum '04 comments are way out of line.  Particularly, "Killed someone and had it covered up."  That is complete and total BS,  The situation with the car accident was an absolute tragedy, and to throw it around casually like this is crass.  It's disrespectful to Boeheim, the city of Syracuse and to the victim himself.  I expected better from people on this site.

I was wrong for saying that about Boeheim. I still think he hasn't been responsible for preparing for retirement and it all came to a head now. No one can work forever, even HOF coaches.

I'd be surprised ...but Anthony Grant?

No NCAA Tourney bids and they're rejecting the NIT invite?

Are they above the NIT? Grant might be out?

Aaron McKie out at Temple. You have to think that job is Matt Langel's if he wants it (although if Shrewsberry goes elsewhere I wouldn't be surprised to see Langel end up at Penn State)

Jamion is involved in a number of jobs. We will see how it plays out.

Per a Jon Rothstein tweet, Ed Cooley put his house on the market today.  Guess he really is leaving Providence for the cowards.
