After 47 seasons, the Jim Boeheim era at Syracuse is over.

Associate head coach, Adrian Autry, one of Boeheim’s former players and longtime assistant, has been named the program’s next head coach.

Syracuse fell to Wake Forest on Wednesday, 77-74, in a second round ACC tournament game in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Boeheim’s Impressive Syracuse Resume

Jim Boeheim won 1,015 games in 47 seasons as head coach, which is the second-most wins by a head coach in Division I history.

The only coach ahead of him is Mike Krzyzewski of Duke University, who has 1,170 wins.

Boeheim’s 1,015 career victories are also the most by any head coach at their alma mater in men’s or women’s Division I history.

He played for Syracuse as a guard from 1963-66 and began his coaching career as an assistant there in 1969 before becoming head coach in 1976.

Boeheim has led Syracuse to five Final Four appearances and a national championship in 2003.

Other Boeheim Highlights

47 seasons as head coach, all at Syracuse
1,015-441 record as head coach
5 Final Four appearances
1 National Championship (2003)
2005 Naismith Hall of Fame inductee
2010 AP Coach of the Year
Assistant coach for 3 Gold Medal USA Olympic teams (2008, 12, 16)
23 1st-Round NBA Draft picks

Boeheim coached the Orange to their only national title in 2003. He won more games in 47 seasons than every other Syracuse coach did in 75 seasons.

The Big East and Boeheim will always be linked

Syracuse University joined the ACC in 2013-14, after being a member of the Big East Conference since its inception in 1979.

However, Jim Boeheim and his Syracuse basketball teams had tremendous success in the Big East Conference, where they became one of the most successful programs in conference history.

Boeheim won more Big East games than any other coach in the conference’s history, posting a record of 413-194 (.681 winning percentage) in conference play.

He led Syracuse to Big East regular-season championships nine times and won five Big East tournament championships.

Boeheim was also named the Big East Coach of the Year four times (1984, 1991, 2000, 2010) during his tenure in the conference.

Conclusion

While Syracuse’s move to the ACC has brought about new rivalries and challenges, the program’s legacy and success in the Big East will always be a significant part of its history.

Jim Boeheim’s coaching accomplishments in the conference will always be remembered.  Shemon and Sheppard will have more on this today 2-6pm.

The 9 Best Public Golf Courses in Southwest Florida: Ranked

The 9 Best Public Golf Courses in Southwest Florida. Fort Myers and Naples have some of the nicest golf courses in the country – the only problem is, to play these, you either need a rich friend who belongs at one of the courses, or you need to part ways with a couple hundred thousand to become a member yourself.

Don’t have either? You’re still in luck!   Southwest Florida has a litany of fun and challenging public courses open year-round to the average bloke. They may not offer the luxury amenities such as iced towels, golf carts outfitted with GPS and speakers, and Pro-V1 range balls, but the beers are just as cold and often times the cart girls are better looking!

I put these courses through a screening process and am basing this on certain criteria – first and foremost, they need to be open year-round for public play. After that, I judged them on: Layout (fun vs challenging), Condition and Amenities, Rates, Cart Girls (when applicable), and of course, the 19th hole. So, text your buddies, wash your balls, and tee up at these local favorites year round.  

These are The 9 Best Public Golf Courses in Southwest Florida
