Former Syracuse Coach Jim Boeheim to Make Debut on ACC Network

Former Syracuse men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim, who retired in March after 47 years at his alma mater, is becoming a TV broadcaster.

Boeheim has joined ESPN and will make his analyst debut this Saturday, Dec. 2, on ACC Network. Boeheim will call the Florida State at No. 17 North Carolina men’s college basketball game on ACCN with Wes Durham and Cory Alexander at 2 p.m. ET.

On Tuesday, Dec. 5, Boeheim will be in the ACCN studio for the first time. He will join Kelsey Riggs and Luke Hancock during halftime of the men’s primetime doubleheader games – Central Connecticut at Boston College (6 p.m.) and Cornell at Syracuse (8 p.m.), in addition to the 10 p.m. edition of the network’s signature basketball show, Nothing But Net, to wrap up the night in ACC action.

The Syracuse legend is 79 and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005.

Boeheim’s two sons — Jimmy and Buddy, played for him at Syracuse in the 2021-22 season. Former Syracuse player and assistant coach Adrian Autry is now head coach of the Orange men’s basketball team.
