Statement from ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips on Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim

“There is no person more synonymous with Syracuse men’s basketball than legendary head coach Jim Boeheim. Since taking over the program in 1976, Boeheim has guided the Orange to unparalleled success with 35 trips to the NCAA Tournament, five Final Fours and the 2003 National Championship. In addition to his on-court success, Jim has mentored countless student-athletes, assistant coaches and administrators. We thank and applaud Jim for all he has done for the ACC and college basketball, and we wish him, Juli and their entire family all the best as he enters his next chapter.”
