I stumbled across a couple of old interviews with Jim Boeheim on the YESNetwork (November 14, 2013). These two videos are interesting to me, as they give some insight into Boeheim's perspective.
I think we all knew Boeheim really liked and respected Gerry McNamara, but I don't think I really knew how much. The first video clip, particularly his last comments, really points it out. Boeheim states that GMac is the toughest player he ever coached, the biggest overachiever, and the guy he would want in a foxhole with him.
I think most Syracuse fans have heard the Jim Boeheim story about hiring Rick Pitino. I don't think I ever realized before that Boeheim didn't know Pitino at the time.
I always had a very high opinion of Chris Mullin as a player. Apparently, Boeheim does too.
