In taking his unranked team to the #1 spot in the polls (and recording his 32nd 20-win season in the process), Jim Boeheim was voted the AP Coach of the Year. Boeheim worked wonders with a team that lost its top three scorers from the previous season…that said, it remains a bitter disappointment not to be in Indy this weekend. We have no doubts now that Syracuse was the best team in the country, when we had Arinze. He completes us. Sorry. Getting weepy again. And using pronouns like “us” and “we”.

In the meantime, this video explores a day in the life of Jim Boeheim’s big cardboard effigy. Honestly, it only really comes together in the last few scenes.
