Jim Boeheim has always been an easy target for critics. Observers have been aggrieved by his game management, how his Syracuse teams at times underachieve come March and how he rarely deviates from the 2-3 zone. We've chided and mocked and belittled his frailties while ignoring his greatest asset: success. I guarantee that on the years they thought Syracuse was going to be bad or not nearly as good as they usually are, they always have a great year," said Leo Rautins, who played at Syracuse from 1981 to '83.
By David Borges Register Staff SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- University of Connecticut men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun pulled ahead of Jim Boeheim on the Division I all- time wins list Wednesday night by beating Boeheim at his own game.
NEW YORK - Seeing as if West Virginia is the No. 3 seed in the Big East Tournament this week and, in its mind, a lock for a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, it is unlikely the team would trade its position for another scenario. And yet things could be different, much as they already are for Syracuse, the top seed and, for a time, top-ranked team in college basketball. The Orange, picked to finish sixth in the coaches' preseason poll, obviously benefited from the addition of Iowa State transfer Wesley Johnson, who Tuesday was named the conference player of the year by a vote of the Big East coaches.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim ran a closed practice Monday as sex abuse victims' advocates questioned whether he should still coach following the firing of longtime assistant Bernie Fine, who has been accused of molestation by three men.

Guess who's coaching as well as anyone west of Jim Boeheim and north of Mike Krzyzewski? Bob Huggins, if you didn't know already, has arrived.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. - Syracuse University Chancellor Nancy Cantor gave Orange basketball Coach Jim Boeheim a vote of confidence Tuesday amid an investigation of child molestation allegations against his former longtime assistant coach.

Jim Boeheim is backtracking now, retreating like he's on the wrong end of a fast break, running a desperate race to recover his footing. Gone is the bully pulpit he stalked not two weeks ago, left in the dust in this high-speed retreat to remorse. Boeheim is quiet now, tucked behind the closed doors of his Syracuse basketball office, letting official statements replace his roaring mouth. Long gone is the bombastic, outraged, indignant Boeheim who didn't just shout out his disgust and disbelief in the face of sexual-abuse allegations against longtime assistant coach Bernie Fine, but attacked Fine's now-grown-up accusers as nothing more than money-seeking liars.
It's going to be like it is every year in the Big East," [Jim Boeheim] said at SU's media day Oct. 15. "No real changes there." That's not how many college basketball experts saw it. The Big East has always been a star-driven league, and many experts saw a conference that had lost a bunch of big stars and was left with too many unproven understudies. Sparking the Huskies' resurgence was junior point guard Kemba Walker, who was leading Division I in scoring at 26.7 points per game through Jan. 1. "The surprise to this point is Connecticut and what they've been able to accomplish in Maui and what Kemba Walker has turned into in terms of superstardom," said Mike DeCourcy, the college basketball writer for The Sporting News.
