QUOTES BY Jim Boeheim


I don't think we should put a number on how long you should coach or how old you should be. It should be illegal. Go as long as you can do a good job. It shouldn't be an age thing.

It's one thing to play through injuries, quite another to play well through injuries.

I don't think Harvard was punished when Bill Gates left early. I don't think they were. I don't think he did too badly.

We guard the shooter. A lot of guys shoot way behind the 3-point line. We guard where the shooter is, not where the line is.

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.

I'd never switch to man-to-man unless we were able to play good man-to-man. Ever.

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.

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.

Unfortunately, in our business, it's all about the tournament when you're a good team.
