Jim Boeheim
He is one of the best college basketbal coaches ever having played for and coached at Syracuse University
Boeheim's influence extended beyond Syracuse, as he played a significant role in shaping the broader landscape of basketball. He served as the President of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) and held leadership positions on various USA Basketball committees. His expertise was also sought after on the international stage, where he served as an assistant coach for the United States men's national basketball team during three Summer Olympics (2008, 2012, and 2016) and multiple FIBA World Championships. His contributions to the sport were recognized with his induction into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005.
Despite announcing his intention to retire in 2018, Boeheim remained at Syracuse until 2023 due to the departure of his expected successor, Mike Hopkins. During the 2021–22 season, Boeheim had the unique opportunity to coach both of his sons, Jimmy and Buddy Boeheim, adding a personal dimension to his storied career. In 2022, following the retirement of Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, Boeheim became the winningest active coach in Division I basketball. However, his career was not without controversy, as the NCAA vacated 101 of his wins due to a Syracuse athletics scandal in 2015.
Off the court, Boeheim has made significant contributions to charitable causes. After surviving cancer in 2001, he and his wife, Juli, founded the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation, which focuses on child welfare, cancer treatment, and prevention. The foundation has become a vital part of Boeheim's legacy, reflecting his commitment to making a positive impact both in and out of the basketball world.
