Big news coming out of Lower Canada Community College?

Jim Boeheim apparently called an emergency basketball team meeting at 2 pm today, according to local CNY media and syracusefan.com. Assistant coaches were pulled off of the golf course to attend. Speculation is that Boeheim is retiring. More news to follow.

He couldn't stand another loss to the Hoyas and his pals over at the NCAA wouldn't give him a nice long winter break.

Maybe he caught someone going to class ...

So was it just Pearl-related?

[njhoya78]

No definitive word yet. There continue to be unsubstantiated rumors on the syracusefan.com board that Boeheim is stepping down. I think we'll know more within 24 hours; things like that, if true, will leak out.

The Boeheim story never happened, but here's one of lesser stature: the Syracuse AD has quit after 11 months on the job.

"Mark Coyle has informed the University that, for family reasons, he is leaving the University for a position at Minnesota. We wish him well."

Mark Coyle is my cousin and this is one case where the "for family reasons" claim is true. His family really wasn't liking Upstate New York. He was previously an assistant A.D. at Minnesota and loved it there, so going back when the top job opened up was a no-brainer for him. Plus he is from nearby Iowa so it is like going home.

The woman must have been a Georgetown fan.

At least Orsay had the foresight to move the Colts from Baltimore to Indianapolis in unmarked Mayflower moving trucks. The only thing that would have been better is if Goldie the Gopher had been driving.

That is a classic. Thanks, Lizzie!
