Jim Boeheim reaction: Fans, media reflect on Syracuse coach’s retirement

Jim Boeheim and Syracuse announced on Wednesday that the legendary coach would retire, as the Orange fell in the ACC Tournament to Wake Forest.

With a legendary coach moving on, reaction to the move came quickly, and from around college basketball as fans and media alike weighed in with their thoughts and memories.

A Hall of Famer, Jim Boeheim’s 47-year tenure as coach at Syracuse came to an awkward end on Wednesday, with the university saying Orange assistant Adrian Autry has been promoted to the job. This was after a press conference where Boeheim said he gave a retirement announcement last week, and it was up to the university to decide.

Here’s a sample of the reaction:
