Also, I'm surprised they think he cares about a scholarship. His dad pulls in a couple million a year (and has been for YEARS) and works for a university (that probably has some kind of tuition assistance benefit).

I feel like jr will be able to swing tuition w/o too much debt.

I think JB's unfortunately already announced his retirement next year, right?

I hope he stays longer and coaches his son to several national championships. It couldn't happen to a nicer family.

They do have a great family. Involved in a lot of humanitarian efforts. JB did announce his retirement which would be after this season. It was shortly after SU had sanctions placed on it from the NCAA. But a few months ago, he announced he was going to continue to coach until he feels he's ready to quit. It was just after his long time assistant, and coach in waiting, Mike Hopkins got tired of waiting and finally took a HC job elsewhere.

I hadn't heard about his change in plans, that's great news for Syracuse and for the ACC.

Pretty much it seems Jim will stay about 5-6 more years. I just hope we don't have a Bobby Bowden type thing. He'll be near 80 at retirement.

I could see All 4 HOFer coaches staying for 5-6 more years

It is a double edged sword. People will say he is only being recruited because he is Boeheim's son...he only got in Syracuse because he is Boeheim's son, etc. It can cause a lot of resentment among players as well.

Playing for your father has to be like working for your father - difficult at best, disastrous at worst. He should at least consider playing for a different coach. Kind of 'making it on your own' scenario.

In this case I dont think that will the case since there are other big time programs recuiting him. I agree that it can cause some issues with other players who may feel that the coaches son is taking away their minutes.
