Jim Boeheim’s son Buddy authored a number of signature moments at Syracuse in what turned out to be Jim’s last run to the Sweet 16 in 2021, and Buddy was quick to pay tribute to his father after Wednesday’s retirement news.
In a social media post, Buddy Boeheim called Jim “the greatest coach, father and mentor I could ever ask for.” He added that he was also looking forward to playing “a lot of golf in our future” with his dad.
