After 47 years leading his alma mater, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim has coached his final season, the school announced Wednesday afternoon.
The announcement comes on the heels of a disappointing 17–15 campaign for the Orange, which left the team on the outside looking in of the NCAA tournament and the NIT. Syracuse will sit out March Madness for the second straight year after the team posted the first sub-.500 record of Boeheim’s tenure in 2021–22.
Along with the news of Boeheim’s departure comes the announcement of his successor. Adrian Autry, a former Syracuse point guard and the team’s current associate head coach, becomes Syracuse’s first new head coach since 1976.
