Syracuse bball coach Jim Boeheim killed a man last night

Boeheim was suspended for 9 games and Syracuse has to lose a number of scholarships because of multiple violations over a number of years.

Syracuse settled a lawsuit with the former ball boys though the terms of the agreement were not announced. Boeheim said he regretted calling the boys liars when the scandal first broke. The accusers never admitted they lied. Bernie Fine was fired by the university. If the boys had actually lied, then Bernie would have had a pretty good lawsuit against the university.

I used to coach at SU and got to know JB moderately well. He always seemed like a decent guy who treated other people well.

Take that for what it's worth.

Only thing I got to say...... I never knew anyone could kill someone and not get a ticket, not go to jail, and probably won't face a lawsuit. Simply amazing....

This Boeheim is a loser. He ought to face a couple years in jail minimum for vehicular manslaughter.

I don't feel bad for Boeheim! I feel bad for the victim and the victim's family!

No such thing should ever happen.

It was funny -- I was on here last night browsing around and someone made a post that Boeheim should be sent to jail for life... I totaly agree. Somehow that post got deleted though..... I certainly don't see anything wrong with life in prison for that schmuck.

That has absolutely nothing to do with accident.

There are about 40,000 traffic fatalities a year. Do believe every single one was caused by a criminal act? As for Boeheim, you have no idea whether he was negligent. We do know he hadn't been drinking. Let the police do their job.

How many people do you know who killed someone?

+1.

Bruce was going to transition sooner or later anyway; his gender transition was not a "hoax," but he did accelerate his decision to do so and make it public for the reasons Shoebacca mentioned above: to deflect attention from the fact that his careless driving caused a woman's death.

Soon afterwards he was being photographed by Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair and, in drag and a wig and to the huzzahs of sycophants, accepting the Arthur Ashe Courage Award at the ESPYs, while the death he caused via distracted driving was all but forgotten by the public. Real courage would've been owning up to what s/he'd done and speaking out about the dangers of careless driving.

Jessica Steindorff, who was injured by Jenner in that same crash, had this to say after the ESPY awards:

“I find it difficult to understand how the culture we live in can honor a person who is responsible for taking a life and injuring several others with both an award and a reality show. For an individual who is such a positive role model in many aspects of her life, Caitlyn has failed to do the right thing and take responsibility for her actions.

I would hope that someone who seems to greatly value the importance of human existence would be more sensitive to the fact that she ended another person’s life. Sadly we are living in a tabloid society.”

Until it gets to the DA who doesn't want to take this political football and punts? Wealthy and high-profile people with major connections don't go down for crimes like this, that's not justice. I'd be okay if he just received a suspended sentence and could never have a driver's license again. But JB and his friends with influence won't let any of that happen, we'll see "no charges." Maybe a hefty anonymous donation to the victim's family. Police are probably already being told to "lose" evidence pointing to JB's culpability.

A huge factor: The guy is 74. Do you have any idea how poor night vision is for a 74 yr. old guy?

First of all, I think it is a tragic accident. I know Jim feels bad and it is sad that someone died.

My heart goes out to the family of the man killed, the men he was with in the accident and to Jim Boeheim as well, who will have this on his conscience forever although it was not an at-fault situation.

However, how dare some you take a situation as sad as this and turn it into a discussion about Caitlyn Jenner, make jokes about immigration, cast aspersions at Boeheim, or make judgments about your conjectured spin on his driving.

1. Caitlyn Jenner was not in this accident. Whatever was determined then (or not) is appropriate in another discussion. Whether or not you agree with what happened with Jenner is a non sequitur here to the point of being crass.

2. Immigration jokes are way out of place in this regard. No...you're not funny. No, not in the slightest. If you can honestly override your filter to actually print that? Then you lack any scruples at all.

3. Jim Boeheim was a driver on 690 at the time the man was hit. I say it this way because it could have been any driver who hit that man. We know about it because it is Boeheim. What happened in this accident has nothing to do with him as a coach, Syracuse University, the Orange, recruiting, graduation rates, program quality, or any statement of anything relating to the NCAA.

4. The law authorities at hand have made it clear that it was a "true accident" and, in kind, will likely not be charging Boeheim. Based on the information at hand, they are making what they feel is the correct decision.

Let's start showing respect to the man who lost his life, all involved in the accident, Let's Run, and to ourselves.

It's really about time.

If you really want to post something distasteful about this situation, think 3 more times...and decide to stop it.

Sincerely

Mike

Jim Boeheim is a pretty terrible person. His program received one of the harshest NCAA punishments ever with the vacation of 108 victories the loss of a number of scholarships for a number of years. In addition, though I am not comparing him to Joe Paterno, but one of his assistants, Bernie Fine, molested 3 boys over the years. Also, for him not to have slowed down when something was obviously amiss up ahead does not look good.

Whoa dude you are throwing around info that is pretty bad. The Bernie Fine thing is wrong. The kids admitted they made it up and after searching his home they found no evidence of any wrong doing.

The NCAA violations were self reported and included a portugese speaking player getting extra help for an english paper. Two student athletes being deemed getting paid over the average wage for working at a YMCA and a positive drug test that the NCAA didnt even mandate, it was Syracuses in house test.

The accident took place at 11:30p on icy roads. After the accident Boeheim stopped and turned the flash light on his phone and waved it while sprinting back to the accident to alert other cars putting his pwn safety at risk for the safety of others.

Sounds like you just have a vendetta for some reason.

For those suggesting drinking his bac was 0.0 and hadno drugs in his system.

Well, FWIW, an announcer on the game preceding the SU-Duke game coming up just said Boeheim is a "phenomenal person".

Of course, Jim already let us know that he was a very good person when he said bad things about Trump in the past.

why would you con continue driving at the speed limit? a rather stupid, death-wish, thing for the coach to do.

Not without a drivers license

Wrong, CoachYouAreAHugeDumbass. I can go buy a car right now from a car dealer or a private buyer (with no background check, just plop down cash) and drive away with it immediately. Can't do that with guns.
