Syracuse’s season came to a close on Wednesday with a 77–74 defeat to Wake Forest in the second round of the ACC tournament. In the immediate aftermath, the focus quickly shifted to the future of coach Jim Boeheim, with the 78-year-old taking a reticent approach to discussing his future plans.
Boeheim said—perhaps in a joking tone—that he gave his retirement speech last week, but people did not seem to pick up on it. When asked to clarify whether he planned on retiring, Boeheim replied, “This is up to the university.”
