We are not ready to say Coach Boeheim is becoming kindler and gentler, but while speaking at the Brazzle Box Small Business Summit this week he launched into a down right motivational story of perseverance by Dajuan Coleman. He talked about the intense rehab and Coleman not being able to play any basketball for a few years. Coleman has made it back from a severe knee injury and is back on the floor for the CUSE. Listen below for an excerpt of Coach Boeheim’s comment.
SU was not ranked in the recent SI top 25, and we don’t know where they will end the season, but one thing we can say for sure, Boeheim certainly cares deeply about his players. But then if you heard him speak at the Homegoing for Eddie Moss, or saw him defend Andre Hawkins after that Big East Tournament game versus Georgetown back in the day, you know this already.
