Boeheim: Syracuse Basketball's Rebuild Nears Completion

0:00On March 11th, Jim Bohyme, the longtime Syracuse coach turned broadcaster, recently shared his thoughts on the school's decision to fire head, basketball coach Adrian Otrie. He pointed out that Otrie's top players had off years, and without enough name, image, and likeness money, coaches like him face tough odds in today's game. Bohyme called it unfortunate, but stressed that winning is the bottom line. Syracuse now faces big changes ahead, including a search for a new chancellor named Mike Caney, a new athletic director, and a fresh basketball coach. Bohyme said these hires need to happen in the right order to set the program straight. Fans have been frustrated with no NCAA tournament trips in five years, but Bohyme urged patients during this transition. He remains optimistic, believing Syracuse will bounce back once they secure the right resources. Bohyme himself is enjoying life in the broadcast booth for ESPN and the ACC Network, calling it a fun way to stay involved as he gets older.
