At 77, Syracuse’s Jim Boeheim Is Still Confounding And Inspiring His Coaching Brethren

Jay Wright has won two of the last five NCAA championships, but he still had to break out some old film to prepare his No. 6-ranked Villanova team for facing the Syracuse zone on Tuesday night in the Jimmy V Classic at Madison Square Garden.

“You don’t play against anybody that plays the zone as well as they do, and this year they’re even adding a 1-3-1 which is pretty effective,” Wright said. “It brings a whole new challenge to playing them.”

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim turned 77 on Nov. 17 and has been the head coach at his alma mater since 1976 — when Gerald Ford was in the White House — yet he’s still finding new ways to confound and inspire opposing coaches.

While his 70-something colleagues Roy Williams and Mike Krzyzewski have either retired or are about to, Boeheim has shown no indication that he will retire anytime soon. Unlike Coach K, who designated Jon Scheyer as his heir apparent a full year in advance, Boeheim has no succession plan in place.

While other former Big East schools like Pittsburgh and Boston College have struggled in the ACC, Boeheim has led the Orange to two Sweet 16s (2018, ‘21) and a Final Four (2016) in the last five years the NCAA Tournament was held. Last spring, led by Buddy “Buckets” Boeheim, the Orange reached the Sweet 16. This season, Jimmy Boeheim joined his brother as a graduate transfer from Cornell, so Jim is now coaching both of his sons at once. Their mother, Juli, some 20-plus years younger than Jim, is a fountain of positive energy for the family.

“Do you know how many people would dream about going to two Sweet 16s, two Final Fours and an Elite Eight? In 10 years, I think that’s pretty good,” Buddy Boeheim said last March. “He continues to do it. He’s one of the best coaches in all of sports. There’s no doubt about it.”

Boeheim’s 987 career wins rank second all-time to Coach K (he would have well over 1,000 had the NCAA not penalized him 101 wins as a result of a multi-year investigation into the university's athletic programs). After some early struggles this season — the Orange lost at home to Colgate by 15 points last month — Syracuse enters the Villanova game on a two-game winning streak with a double-overtime win over Indiana and a victory at ACC rival Florida State.

“It’s not just that he’s still going, it’s the way that he does it,” Wright, 59, said of Boeheim. “I wish people would know how hard he works in recruiting. You see him at all the events, you see him out all the time at games, seeing guys play.

“It’s always kind of motivating to me. At his age, if he’s still doing it like this, he ‘s till working hard, we’ve gotta keep going to keep up with him. .That’s really the way you look at it, you gotta try to keep up with him.”

Wright has lived and traveled with Boeheim as part of USA Basketball and said a big key to his longevity is the way he takes care of himself.

“Jim is amazing to me and I have spent enough time with him to know his energy,” Wright said. “He’s actually a pretty healthy guy. He takes care of himself, he’s smart. In USA Basketball, I lived with him, went to Brazil with him, watched how he operates.

“He eats healthy, he doesn’t drink, he works out, he’s smart and he’s a really, really competitive guy. He’s one of the guys I’ve learned as much from him as anybody. A lot of the experience I had in USA Basketball was because of him. He got me the opportunities, he got me with the National team. He’s been great to me so he’s one of my idols.”

To be clear, Boeheim still has his trademark grumpy moments with reporters, referees and players — and has a penchant for being brutally honest at times.

Earlier this year, he caused a bit of a stir by calling out the work ethic of Kadary Richmond, the 6-foot-6 point guard who transferred from Syracuse to Seton Hall, now ranked No. 23 and playing some of the best basketball in the nation.

After I wrote about his comments, Boeheim called me to emphasize that he was being honest in his assessment of Richmond, and added, “If he really works at his game, he will play in the NBA. Absolutely, 100 percent.”

While some have speculated that Boeheim might hang it up after his sons leave the program — Buddy is a senior and Jimmy a graduate student transfer — Boeheim told me in June he’s not going anywhere.

“I’m definitely coaching longer, definitely coaching, I’m not thinking about not coaching at all,” Boeheim said then.

Asked if he could coach until he’s 80, Boeheim said, “I could. I’m going to try. If it works, it works. They said in 2011-12, I’d be done in two years, so I guess they weren’t right, you know?”

Boeheim has a complete five-man recruiting class coming in next year that he has said is his best ever — and he might be right. He’s already told those recruits he will be here to coach them.

In the meantime, Boeheim will keep going and keep confounding opposing coaches with the zone.

“These guys haven’t seen it and it really is rare so it will be a difficult challenge for our guys,” Wright said. “It’s always a tough game when you play Syracuse. ”

Asked if he could imagine coaching until he’s 77, the Villanova coach said with a smile, “No, not because I wouldn’t want to. I know I don’t take care of myself as well as he does.”

  Nicknames, mascots and colors

  Orange is the official school color adopted as such in 1890. Prior to this, the school colors were rose pink and pea green. Orange, blue and white are traditionally used for sports uniforms. ^[19]

  The sports nickname comes from the official color. Until 2004, the official nicknames for the sports teams were "The Orangemen" and "The Orangewomen". Some fans still fondly use these former nicknames. However, beginning with the 2004–2005 school year, the official nickname was changed to "Orange". This edition is gender-neutral, concise, and reflects the nickname's basis as a school color.

  According to an 1890 newspaper article discovered by Syracuse Post Standard, orange was originally a reference to the Netherlands, which first colonized New York State. ^[20] In upstate New York, place names commonly refer to Dutch heritage. Similarly, the original settlement that became Albany was called Fort Orange.

  Other nicknames over the years have included "Hilltoppers" for the school's location on the hill and "Saltine Warriors" for the former mascot.

  Mascot

  In 1931, a Native American warrior known as Nathan March, also known as the "Salty Warrior", became an athletic mascot. The name came from an article describing an archeological dig on a university campus that allegedly unearthed artifacts from a Native American warrior. ^[21] Warrior was called the "Salty Warrior" because of the abundant salt deposits in the Syracuse, New York area. This article was later revealed to be a fake, but the mascot remained for the next four decades.

  In the mid-1950s, Father Lambda Chi Alpha, brother of the fraternity, owned a support camp. He made a Salt Warrior costume for his son to wear to football games in Syracuse. ^[22] Thus began a nearly forty-year tradition of the Lambda Chi brothers serving as the University's mascot.

  In 1978, Salt Warrior was banned by the university as part of a national movement to eliminate Native American influences, becoming one of the first colleges to do so. The talisman briefly turned into a Roman warrior, but was eventually unofficially replaced in 1982 year giant orange cartoon style. ^[22]

  Otto Orange

  Main article: Otto Orange

  That summer, cheerleaders and mascots visited the UCA cheerleading camp in Tennessee and narrowed down the participants to two potential names - "Opie" and "Otto". Believing that the name "Opie" would inevitably rhyme with the word "datura", they settled on "Otto". Later that fall, word got out that the cheerleaders were naming the final mascot costume Otto, and the name stuck. 9 "Letter to the editor: "Otto Orange" - minting 1992".
