Jim Boeheim’s decades-long tenure as the Syracuse men’s basketball coach came to an end on Wednesday following the Orange’s 77–74 defeat against Wake Forest in the ACC Tournament.
The nature of his departure was a bit bizarre, as the 78-year-old had told reporters after the loss that it was "up to the university" whether or not he’d remain at the helm. Hours later, it was announced that Adrian Autry would be replacing Boeheim.
Dick Vitale was among those to voice their opinion on Boeheim’s departure, indicating he felt a lack of love “between all parties involved.”
