Head Coach Jim Boeheim, who dropped from 2nd All-Time in wins to 6th after vacating 108 victories as a part of the sanctions, announced Wednesday his plan to retire in three years. Syracuse Chancellor Kent Syverud said that Boeheim's decided to make the announcement to "bring certainty to the team and program in the coming years," and to allow for a smooth transition.
