Jim Boeheim is no longer Syracuse's basketball coach.
Adrian Autry is.
The Boeheim Era, after 47 years, is over at Syracuse.
Adrian, who is a terrific guy and a coach Syracuse players respect, gets his shot.

We can debate the Buddy Boeheim incident forever I suppose and there will never be agreement about what should have been done.

Boeheim was funny, emotional and yes, charming in his final official news conference.
He heartily endorsed Adrian Autry. Said he needed no older mentor on his bench. He knows basketball. He knows how to coach. The program is in good hands.

Something to note:

I gotta admit, I thought the Syracuse-Georgetown game had maybe gone past it’s sell-by date.
But it was electric in DC today. Noisy crowd. Two animated and involved new coaches. A lot of energy from both teams. It was a fun game to watch.

Maybe I'm biased because I've known her for so long. But the job Felisha Legette-Jack (and her staff) is doing with this 15-2 Syracuse team midway through year 2 is pretty amazing. Not sure why there isn't more national recognition.

After Syracuse native Felisha Legette-Jack was fired as Indiana’s HC nobody would hire her. Resurrected in Buffalo, she led the Bulls to a historic 2018-19 season. Along the way she became a vocal, passionate advocate for 2nd chances.

I am super appreciative of this award and of all the good wishes that have flooded my timeline/inbox/texts.
I was in the middle of thrilling negotiations to turn in my leased car (there are complications) when the news broke today.
This is infinitely more fun.
Thanks so much!

Sure, schedules are hard.
But somebody needs to explain how Syracuse goes on the road to Cal, Stanford, SMU, Miami, Florida State, Clemson, Notre Dame, Virginia Tech.
