Today on THE RUSH with Jared Quay, we look at the surprising news that Jim Boeheim, long-time head coach of the Syracuse Men’s Basketball team, has been “relieved of his duties.” It was a shocking turn of events that followed the Orange’s loss to Wake Forest in the ACC Tournament, and Boeheim’s post-game comments left many wondering what was to come.
The university quickly announced that Boeheim’s replacement would be former assistant coach Adrian Autry, and the move has left many scratching their heads as to why it happened so suddenly. Was it a simple case of “time for a change” after nearly five decades of Boeheim’s leadership? Or was there more to the story?
The news of Boeheim’s departure came in the same week as Kevin Durant’s first home game for the Phoenix Suns. But Durant never got to take the court, as he slipped and fell during warmups, resulting in an ankle injury that sidelined him for the game.
It’s been a wild week in the sports world, and THE RUSH will be back tomorrow to give you all the information you need to know. Until then, stay safe and don’t forget to check out our previous episodes.
