Boeheim Retires

[Plum Street]

There are always gray areas with legacies, even for those as great as Plum. But the bottom line is - what the hell did you expect them to say?

And plus he sent us 2 of our greatest players ever. Why the hate

 

[William J. Leggett]

I never liked him

Agreed. Just a classic example of a “penis wrinkle” who also could be classified as a complete schmuck.

Great coach…

Both things can be true.

To be objective , like what we should be doing here

You’re out of ideas and I’m done with you. And yes, I have read both your posts. The guy has a complex legacy much to his own doing.

Cheater had over 100 victories vacated by NCAA, he probably leads the NCAA in that category

I believe he is the last of the old Big East coaches in the original job. No school has lost more than Cuse by leaving and destroying the BE.

Take it back. Mike Brey

The hire is bizarre...they are going to sink to oblivion

When your offspring start showing up on your roster, you are not playing to win.

Iowa isn’t playing to win?

 

[Perricone7]

Can’t wait to see how this turns out. Bad weather and bad conference fit. I could see them fading away fast.

Or Michigan ??

Hopefully not

Any players we can poach?

If it was truly his decision, I admire him for announcing it at the end of the season and not inviting a circus and gifts at every away game like Coach K did.

Fare ******* well

It’s a low bar to be less of a glory hog than K

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

I first began cussing his crying antics out way back in 1980.. he has earned retirement.. and got better with his whining some many years ago now. But he was awful. Oh.. and he was even bald then.

McCafferty’s sons are nothing special. Likewise Boeheim’s.

 

[Scangg]

Please. The last line of your previous post says it all. Trying to start a fight again with fellow RU fans.

He will always be seen as a legendary coach with little attention paid to child sexual abuse cover up and various recruiting violations over the years. Too bad the guy couldn’t figure out how to leverage the new Wild West. He hung on a little too long and was a jerk on the way out.

Lol he was a bad guy? .What the hell does that even mean ? Breslauer is acting like a girl that got felt up on prom night.
Boheim was a college basketball coach, which is one of the slimiest industries is America. The old saying there are no virgins in big time college athletics applies.

 

[MiloTalon13]

Also interesting that they aren't even bothering to do a national coaching search. Just hand the keys off to an assistant with no head coaching experience. I guess the same route that Duke went.

Autry has probably been doing all the real work for a decade

Boston College?

 

[MiloTalon13]

I wish we had them.

Well that doesn't bode well for them then...

Huggins was there for the BE breakup
But he was new school BE at the time

True .
It’s an interesting hire

 

[Mr Magoo_rivals90743]

One is good, the other is more of a typical “daddy-ball” annoyance.

 

[MiloTalon13]

Do people here watch so little college basketball other than RU that they don't realize Buddy Boheim was a very good college player?
35% career 3pt shooter averaged 19/game as a senior
If Pike has a kid like that, sign him!

 

[Mr_Twister]

Buddy Boeheim was not the caliber of player that Boeheim had on his good teams. Agreed, good 3-point shooter.

Who was the last player Boeheim had who meets this standard?
I don't like Boeheim but hammering him for Buddy is silly. Buddy was good.

 

[letterhead6]

Boehiem is a jerk, but he was smart enough to know from the get-go that Cuse did not belong in the ACC. Maybe it was a self-fulfilling prophecy, but they will never experience anything again like they did when they rolled into the Garden for the Big East tourny.

Nah, this is a RU fan board - no need to be objective. Screw him.

 

[MADHAT1]

My favorite boheim moment was Jerome Coleman pulling up from like 30 feet away and he just threw his hands up like “we wont guard you out there’

But wow, lots of negative stuff here . Dude was a great coach and an icon . Also , helped our country win gold medals
He sent us 2 of the greatest players in rutgers history .
He beat our *** multiple times. Respect it .

despite the praise : f-him
