Jim Boeheim Continues to be an Idiot

[PA_Panther]

I've never seen anyone walk back comments faster than this clown. I'm sure Carmelo didn't get any money while he was at Syracuse. This is rich coming from a dude that got busted for cheating and had over 100 wins vacated.

“This is an awful place we’re in in college basketball,” Boeheim said, per Thamel. “Pittsburgh bought a team. OK, fine. My [big donor] talks about it, but he doesn’t give anyone any money. Nothing. Not one guy. Our guys make like $20,000. Wake Forest bought a team. Miami bought a team. … It’s like, ‘Really, this is where we are?’ That’s really where we are, and it’s only going to get worse.”

“He’s wrong. He’s one thousand percent wrong,” Forbes said, via Matt Norlander of CBS Sports. “I don’t have one player on my team that got NIL to come here. That's a fact. I’ve NEVER had a player come here for NIL.”

Yeah, everyone knows Capel was cheating WAY before it was legal

Its legal now baby! Also its not like Pitts transfers were high end P5 guys. They came from Witchita State, Colgate, Ole Miss (Never played) and some Juco School in Oklahoma.

Syracuse is a dead irrelevant program right now. With recruiting in the toilet

Educate yourself on what the ‘cheating’ was.

fwiw, he was wrong about Pitt and Wake. He shouldn’t have said what he said.

But don’t come in hot like you know what you’re talking about or that Brandin Knight has some inside info.

So you’re saying that a guy who played against Syracuse… Coached at Pitt under Jamie Dixon for a long time and recruited against Boeheim… has no clue what took place at Cuse…

0.0 chance Brandin Knight knows who was or wasn’t paid. Believe what you want I guess.

The NCAA investigation into Cuse covered the time period Knight played. If guys were getting paid it would have come out.

Instead, the investigation found that Fab Melo had a paper about his own life edited to get a passing grade, Billy Edelin made minimum wage to officiate YMCA games (only a violation because the NCAA wasn’t told beforehand), and the AD didn’t call parents when players failed drug tests for recreational drugs (seriously, that’s the part of the policy they didn’t follow).

Knight is either talking about the Edelin thing or he’s talking out of his ass. At no point in his coaching career was he targeting or losing out on players Cuse got.

Aside from being a chode he also got away with Vehicular manslaughter

I believe its time Jimmy called it a career......Otherwise, he's eventually gonna say someting really bad.

The stuff he says in the press conferences is the most entertaining part of the team.

Either way, yeah, this season or next will probably be his last. Cuse has practically no targets or commits for 2023, which could be an indication he’s hanging it up (so we don’t lose a bunch of commits right away).

Is McNamera the next guy up or will they do a full search?

Nobody knows. The hope is that they go get fresh blood, primarily a recruiter familiar with the big northeast cities. Cuse has the good fortune of being one of the few profitable basketball programs so they can pay a pretty penny.

I don’t think the fans would support going with anybody on the current staff. Which isn’t to say the school won’t do that anyway.

Speedy Claxton has Hofstra rolling there is your Boeheim replacement

I like the name

Bernie Fine’s gonna be the next Syracuse coach I’m sure of it. In 2035 when boeheim dies on the court.

Boeheim’s got more skeletons in his closet and under his car than anyone left in college basketball. It’s hilarious when he tries to play moral high ground

 

[Ipartiedwithhopgood]

Anti NIL sounds like a shaky recruiting strategy.

Oh, enlighten us about the skeletons.

And hypocritical since we just landed a 2024 recruit after our billionaire donor flew him to a game on a private jet with rappers.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

He seems so unpleasant.

He seems so unpleasant.

He’s just a grade A asshole who blames everything on others instead of taking responsibility for the state of his program

 

[Kevin Bryan]

He should've gotten a teardrop tattoo under his eye after that. Street cred helps with recruiting.

I don't think it'll look good with that George Jefferson head of his. He'll have to shave that dome, get a couple of gold chains, maybe some rings and he may be in the house.

 

[brooky03]

He’s an asshole but he’s our asshole

I can’t imagine being a Syracuse fan and having that old, nose picking, senile idiot continue to hold the program hostage. Playing practically 100% zone in today’s basketball is akin to coaching malpractice.

I heard whispers that Rick Pitino will go hard after both Syracuse and St John’s openings if and when they occur. Your thoughts?

Very conflicted. He’s dirty, but so was JB, technically. On the flip side, he has connections to Syracuse, comes from Boeheim’s coaching tree, plays an exciting brand of basketball and can recruit. But he’s also old and Cuse fans had plenty of beef with him at L’ville.

I feel like sentiment is leaning toward a younger coach on the rise. Nate Oats would have been perfect if Boeheim retired a few years ago.

Pfft. Pitino isn't much younger than Boeheim. Who wants a short-term rental you know you'll have to replace again in a few years?

 

[brooky03]

The thought right now is that Boeheim has tanked the reputation of Syracuse as a good basketball program. Pitino would probably win immediately. If he does that for a few years, Cuse’s on-court reputation improves and then they can go get somebody long-term. They might even be able to tryout an assistant for Pitino and promote.

Hoyas could use one!!!

I certainly understand that line of thinking .

Well from an outsider , I would think Syracuse could take Oats from Alabama.

Eh, I think program perception/reputation is mostly about who is in charge (AD and head coach). That's why Louisville fired their AD when they fired Pitino. Trying to clean house and clean up the perception of the program. Unfortunately for them it kind of backfired because the program has been a shitshow ever since.

I dunno... now that he's had a taste of southern living for a few years I doubt he misses those miserable midwest/northeast winters. 🤣 🥶

Being a shitshow is the fear. For all of his faults, Pitino wins. He’s probably the safest bet to keep the W’s from slipping any more. Going with a younger coach brings with it a lot of uncertainty.

Sean Miller is another name who could probably win right away but also comes with baggage.

Desperate times call for desperate measures!

I think he has a $4 million per year extension offer from Bama through 2029 or something like that.

Cuse can beat $4M a year but it would be a matter of buying him out and convincing him to leave a school he just committed to long term.
