Jim Boeheim Stormed Out Of His Postgame Press Conference After He Got Upset Over A Question From A Student Reporter

It has been a very "meh" season for Syracuse Men's Basketball so far. The Orange are 13-8 with losses to Colgate and Bryant, along with just one win on their resume over a team with a Top-100 ranking on KenPom (Virginia Tech). SU is still in a decent spot in the ACC standings (6-4), but the fan base is not satisfied with that (understandably so).

Last night, Jim Boeheim and company suffered a tough, 72-68 loss at home to North Carolina. The Orange led by two with 1:23 remaining, but the Tar Heels scored the final six points to secure the road win. This is the second loss by four points for Syracuse in the last eight days, and a student reporter, John Eads, asked a very fair question after Tuesday's tough loss...

I'll say this, as someone who has been in the press room as a student reporter at the Carrier JMA Dome, it can be very intimidating asking a question to the Hall of Famer. In my four years at Syracuse, I never had the guts to ask him a question. But our friend John Eads over here had the balls to do it, and Coach Boeheim had no time for this legitimate question. 

This wasn't the first time that Coach Boeheim didn't agree with a reporter's remarks, and it probably won't be the last...

There are hundreds of student journalists, reporters, and broadcasters at Syracuse University (specifically the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications). I'm sure there are a handful of stories from these young Big J's over the years regarding their interactions with Coach Boeheim, so you can add this one from last night to the list.

I'm excited to be heading back to my alma mater for the Duke game in a few weeks, so let's hope that the Orange can secure a big win against the Blue Devils. That way, Coach Boeheim will be in a better mood in that postgame press conference.
