http://www.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/players/jim_boeheim/126297 Recent articles about Jim Boeheim en-us Jim Boeheim loves Carmelo Anthony like a son, so it’s not shock that Boeheim feels the need to stick up for his former Syracuse star anytime he feels like Anthony is wrong criticized. The New York Post is reporting that Boeheim took to the Syracuse Post-Standard to blast almost every Knicks player except Anthony. , Boeheim ripped Tyson Chandler,  point guards Raymond Felton and Pablo Prigioni and even coach Mike Woodson while trying to defend Anthony. Boeheim was asked if Anthony can lead the Knicks as constructed to an NBA title, and Boeheim told the paper. “Not on that team.He did what he can do. He played very well the final game. Everybody’s killing him but Tyson Chandler just didn’t try to catch the ball. He threw him the ball and Tyson Chandler went like this” and the paper said Boeheim dodged in his chair. [Tyson] was wide open,’’ Boeheim added. “He should have been looking for the ball right here. Kenyon Martin should have been looking for the ball.

The team was ice cold offensively throughout most of the series and lost Game 6 on Saturday by a score of 106-99, despite Carmelo Anthony’s 39 points on 15 of 29 shooting. Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim, who coached Anthony during the Orange’s national championship season in 2003, is not surprised the Knicks were bounced from the playoffs. Simply put, he feels that Carmelo was doing everything by himself. “Not on that team,” Boeheim told the Syracuse Post-Standard when asked if Anthony can win an NBA title. “He did what he can do. He played very well the final game. Everybody’s killing him but Tyson Chandler just didn’t try to catch the ball. He threw him the ball and Tyson Chandler (dodged it). He was wide open.

Many thought this was the year for New York.  However, Syracuse coaching legend Jim Boeheim thinks that the Knicks need to make roster changes no matter how their season ends. Boeheim has watched almost every game this year and although Carmelo Anthony was able to put his Syracuse team on his shoulders and carry them to an NCAA Championship in 2003, he thinks this team needs more help than just Anthony. “I think they’re gonna have to do something down the road to change the roster,” Boeheim said Thursday.  “I’m sure there will be a lot of changes for next year.  They have a lot of guys that I’m sure are not going to be back.  And how they fit guys in and replace those guys is gonna be key I think.” Boeheim, who knows a thing or two about winning games, thinks that the Knicks need three guys to score in order Thu, 16 May 2013 19:07:21 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/jim_boeheim_thinks_knicks_need_to_re_tool_roster/13633961 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/jim_boeheim_thinks_knicks_need_to_re_tool_roster/13633961 Jim Boeheim Thinks Knicks Need to Re-Tool Roster http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/jim_boeheim_thinks_knicks_need_to_re_tool_roster/13633961 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Flickr/hutchike The ACC may not be finished insulting the Big East. The conference began its spring meetings yesterday, and one of the items on the table was the men’s basketball conference tournament – currently being held in Greensboro, North Carolina. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim and Pittsburgh coach Jamie Dixon were both lobbying for the conference to consider Madison Square Garden for its future tournaments. “Obviously, coach Boeheim and I are excited about New York, but I also know that Greensboro has a strong, strong presence here at these meetings,” Dixon said. “I think [Madison Square Garden] would be the best thing for the conference. I hope that’s the way they’re headed, but I don’t know that it is.” Today, ESPN’s Brett McMurphy reported that momentum is gaining for the potential move.

According to 40 Below's website, the object of the event was to have the Boeheims share stories about their history in Syracuse and where the region is going in the future. In reality, the event was a way to make James Arthur Boeheim -- know nationally as the biggest curmudgeon in all of college basketball -- out to be a tall, old softy that cares dearly about his wife, the city of Syracuse and the Syracuse basketball program. Luckily for you, Kim Brown, the Assistant Director for Alumni Programs, Career Services at Syracuse University, was there and Tweeted a lot of it. Below is the best sample of what Kim and the official 40 Below Twitter account shared of the event, which included Boeheim admitting he's working on a book; queue the: "this might be the final year Thu, 09 May 2013 14:05:15 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/article_external/jim_boeheim_the_sappiest_of_saps/13584308 http://network.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/article_external/jim_boeheim_the_sappiest_of_saps/13584308 Jim Boeheim: The Sappiest Of Saps http://www.yardbarker.com/college_basketball/articles/jim_boeheim_the_sappiest_of_saps/13584308 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png A sketch comedy troupe based out of Syracuse called “Humor Whore” has done an outstanding job of creating a parody version of the Queen classic “Bohemian Rhapsody” featuring lyrics crafted to address all things related to Syracuse Orange basketball. Fittingly, the song is entitled, “Boeheimian Rhapsody,” a nod to head basketball coach Jim Boeheim’s name. Very clever. The video for the parody song also attempts to capture the spirit and style of the original video for “Bohemian Rhapsody”: The Syracuse Post-Standard reports that the entire project took Nick Ferreiro, 19, Samii Ruddy, 21, and Matt Del Greco, 22, about five weeks to create and complete, from writing the lyrics to filming the video.

For what it's worth, Doyel admitted the question of whether or not Boeheim was returning next year didn't need to be asked first. (Boeheim also later apologized to Doyel.) That being said, this is not the first time Boeheim has had it out with a sportswriter - if you will recall, he called ESPN's Andy Katz an "idiot" and "disloyal" earlier this season. It turned out that Boeheim was angry at Katz for questioning him about the Bernie Fine investigation. Why is that relevant? I'm glad you asked! Immediately after the Fine story broke, Doyel wrote that Boeheim should lose his job over comments he made about the accusers. So, does Boeheim have it in for anyone who covered the Fine story? Or was he just pissed off after a devastating loss and unleashed his wr...

CBSSports.com’s Gregg Doyel asked Boeheim “When do you think you’ll decide, announce, whatever whether or not you’re coming back next year or do you already know?” Boeheim was not happy with the question and said he wouldn’t answer it unless every coach had to answer it. Doyel mentioned that the same question is posed to college players and that “they handle it better than you.” The 68-year-old coach responded with snark saying, “You ask a 19-year-old if he’s going to retire? If you’re going to say something smart at least be smart.” Check out the back and forth between Boeheim and Doyel below.

Understandably, Coach K is the top dawg earning over $7 M a year.  But let’s go down the rest of the coaches in front of Jim: Coach K. No one can argue he’s the class of coaches with those titles and Final Fours (even if he has some head scratching early exits). Pitino. Fine. He’s always got a contender, never loses in the Sweet 16.

That tweet has since been deleted and the school offered an explanation by Friday morning.But the longtime Orange coach made some comments following his team's 61-39 loss at Georgetown Saturday that might stir up the retirement rumors once again.A reporter asked Boeheim if he would miss being in the Big East Conference during a post-game news conference. Syracuse is set to join the ACC after this school year is over."Well, you know, I'm pretty much ready to go play golf somewhere," Boeheim said. "If was 40 years old, I'd be real upset. I'm not 40 years old. That should be obvious, though."Boeheim then continued to discuss some of the other things about the job he would miss if he ...

Here’s the tweet sent following Syracuse’s 78-57 home win over DePaul Wednesday that caused the confusion: The tweet links to a post on a Syracuse blog that was written by a Florida community college student, who says the longtime coach was asked by the school to retire.

Let me pick up mouth on the floor!  That's an attack you will rarely ever see from a coach to a well-known national reporter... and seemingly out of the blue as well.  Although Boeheim may still hold a grudge against ESPN and Katz for reporting that goes all the way back to the Bernie Fine case, it's more likely Katz's recent reporting on ineligible Orange player J...
