Syracuse coaching legend Jim Boeheim joins Jon Rothstein to talk about some of the most unforgettable moments of his career, including Syracuse’s 6OT win in the Big East tournament in 2009 being one he’ll never forget. He also takes inventory of the ACC tournament, including Cayden Boozer stepping into the starting lineup for Duke, and who some other teams are that could make the Final Four.
They finish by discussing Syracuse’s head coaching opening, and what makes this “the most important thing he ever does in his life” when it comes to the new athletic director hiring the team’s next head coach.
