GREENSBORO, N.C. — Only Jim Boeheim could give multiple “retirement speeches” — his own words! — without actually confirming he’s retiring.
“It’s up to the university,” the Syracuse coach said, over and over again, but his comments after another short stay in Greensboro left very little doubt.
Hours later Wednesday, there was none: The university announced that Boeheim would retire after 47 years and be succeeded by assistant coach and former player Adrian Autry.
