Jim Boeheim Takes Shot at Reporter After Syracuse's Win over Clemson
March 4, 2021
Syracuse men's basketball coach Jim Boeheim had some choice words for a reporter following Wednesday's 64-54 victory over Clemson.
Matthew Gutierrez of The Athletic explained the situation on Twitter: "Boeheim says via Zoom that I have never played basketball before and I am 5-foot-2, so I am not qualified to have an opinion on Syracuse."
The victory was Syracuse's second in a row as it looks to make a late push to reach the NCAA tournament.
The Orange are very much on the bubble and may need to make a quality impression at the ACC tournament to qualify for the field.
Boeheim isn't the only marquee coach from the ACC who has expressed frustration with a reporter this season. North Carolina's Roy Williams did so following a blowout loss to Marquette, and Duke's Mike Krzyzewski apologized for angrily responding to a question from a student reporter following a loss to Louisville.
