You've got to understand, every kid in college basketball, if you ask them where they want to play a game, in the NBA or college, they will tell you Madison Square Garden, a huge percentage.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
The facts are, when we played here, we were treated better in Greensboro than any other tournament venue.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
All the way through my high school and college there was never a doubt in anybody's mind the ACC was the best conference.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
You don't play extra guys just to play them. You play 'em because they can help you in some way.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
I first came to the Garden when I was a sophomore in college. The old, old Garden.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
Syracuse, New York, is like Hawaii for eight months of the year. The other four months, I don't care about the weather because we're playing basketball.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
Every Olympics, they make a big deal out of something - security... traffic... pollution... something - and it really doesn't come true. For me, there's never been a problem.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
I don't love playing zone all the time, because it does have an effect on your offense.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
I grew up in the Big East Conference for 30 years. We were a conference that was nothing. We were a bunch of schools thrown together and within five years we were one of the top two basketball conferences in the country.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
Roy Williams has been a great coach every game since the beginning at Kansas.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
Against our zone, even really good offensive teams take longer than usual to get into their patterns, maybe 30 seconds. So we're locked into playing defense for that long... it's hard to run on offense after you've been hunkering down on D for that long.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
They don't work with you to get better in the NBA. Either you're ready or you're out and you go to the G-League or Europe.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
You've got to work your way into the NBA. Guys like Seth Curry, it took him a couple years in the G-League.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
I know every year what my players get and what courses they get them in. I get a report every semester. What course. What grades.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
If you look at the terrorist attacks around the world, they're in places where there is no security - a club or a movie theater or wherever.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
There should be some civility when it comes to being president of the United States.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
You give hundreds, probably thousands of speeches in this business, but you only get one chance to make an acceptance speech at the Hall of Fame. That's pressure.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
I've seen countless situations where I've been around him where he always does the right thing, 100 percent of the time. Tom Izzo would never do the wrong thing. And anybody that thinks other than that, they don't know Tom Izzo. I know him.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
If I could hire a coach in this country and I could get Tony Bennett, there would be nobody in second place. Nobody.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
The NBA is going to do what they want to do. They're going to do what's best for them; not what's best for us.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
No head coach does it by himself. I don't care who the coach is or how great he might be. Mike Krzyzewski is is a great friend of mine and he's a great coach but he has great, great assistant coaches and they bring a lot to the table and that's what it takes.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
It's not harder to make a couple extra substitutions. That's not hard. You get different things when you make changes, you gain things and you lose things. But overall, if you gain things, that's why you play extra guys.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
I think the only thing to consider is do you want to try to coach in the NBA and for me it never was an issue. I never really had that desire.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
I don't think we should ever compensate players. I think we can do as much as we can for players. The cost of attendance is good. They get more meals now so they can keep their meal money. I think those are all good things and I think more of those things should have been done. But I don't think you can compensate players straight out.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
College, our job is to get guys to get better. Work hard, get better and be in position so when your time comes you get to play in the NBA.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
I'm not trying to make a big deal out of this. It's just the things Donald Trump says are crazy. You can't say those things. You shouldn't say those things.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
I live in the moment. I try to win as many games as I can in any given year. That's what I've always tried to do. But I don't dwell on the past games. That doesn't help you win games now. If that helped win games now, I'd dwell on them.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
Unfortunately, in our business, it's all about the tournament when you're a good team.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
I love Charles Barkley, he's a good friend of mine and he's a funny guy. He knows nothing about college basketball. Less than nothing.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
You have to show high school players that fans care about your program, that they're gonna be at the games. I think that's a huge key to success in college basketball.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
I'd never switch to man-to-man unless we were able to play good man-to-man. Ever.
Quote by -Jim Boeheim
The thing is 3,900 out of 4,000 college basketball players are very happy to have a scholarship. They're happy. They've got a $70,000 scholarship and they've got money in their pocket. It's the other hundred guys and they're all going to make money playing basketball and the top guys are going to make a lot of money.
