SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Syracuse men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim struck and killed a man walking outside his vehicle on Interstate 690 around midnight, a source has confirmed for Syracuse.com | The Post-Standard.

The man in his 30s had been in a car with four others near Thompson Road in Syracuse when their vehicle crashed for unknown reasons, said a source familiar with the investigation.

The man at some point got out of his vehicle, the source said.

That’s when Boeheim drove by and struck the pedestrian, the source said.

Easy now. From what we know now it could happen to anyone

Easy now? Statement of pure fact.

I don't get Machina's post. Don't see a single line of speculation in Spiff's post.

Kills isn’t tantamount to murder.

He was run over not by anyone, but by Jimmy B.

It sucks. Could it have been anyone? Sure. But it didn’t. It happened at the actions of Jim Boeheim. Even if accidental. It happened.

He killed someone and I posted a quote from an article. That's it.

If he gets arrested because news breaks he was high on cocaine, I'll change my title to murdered a man. Until then, he killed someone. That doesn't pass judgment on what degree of fault he bears.

What is Machina talking about?

And why do i feel like I post this question almost every day?

This is an unfortunate incident that calls for no debate, so it's time to start typing all kinds of opinions, and telling Spiff to hide behind a bookshelf.

I see your point but if this happened to your mom would you post this or want this posted about her?

Wtf?

Machina is off his meds again.

I see a lock coming soon.

I'm very confused.

Simple question. If your mom did the exact same thing as Boeheim would you want a story about it posted her saying she killed a man?

Uh...why wouldn't there be?

Pretty sure my mom if she killed someone in an accident would know she killed someone in an accident, and expect it to be on the news.

There's a big difference, one of those people is a well known public figure which makes it news while the other one is just a relatively unknown person. Do you know which is which?

I just feel bad for coach based on the info now. The thread title makes it worse for me although there is nothing wrong with it.

I totally get why this is news. Just asking if people would feel the same if it happened to them or their family in terms of the wording. Which as I said isn't wrong

I kinda feel bad for the dead man... but that's me.

What the hell is going on in this thread

Didn’t expect to get a chuckle out of this thread, then Machina Machina’d and here we are...

Running over and killing a pedestrian certainly can generate a news story. My mom didn't coach Carmelo Anthony, so she'd probably get less news coverage, and it wouldn't get posted on a sports message board.

In terms of saying he killed someone, what else could I have said? If I said he fluffed a man, no one would know what I was talking about. When you hit someone with your car and they die, you killed them. That doesn't necessarily equate to criminal activity.

Machina is concerned we might offend all of Jim Boheim's relatives that post here.

I can't anymore

If Machina is to be believed... this would have to be the reason for this.

CNN also apparently hates Jim Boeheim:

I actually thought this thread would be humorous, in the line of "Craig James killed 5 hookers while at SMU", but sadly it was not.

But that's fake news Spiff.

Now I get Machina's post. In this photo, Boeheim stands on the highway looking down at my mother.

Ahhh, good times.

This is what I see by reading about the incident.

The pedestrian hit a guardrail with his car and his car stopped in the middle of the interstate. He just got out and was walking on the side of the road (around midnight). Boeheim avoided the accident by driving to the side of the road and hit the pedestrian. There was no one at fault, just an unfortunate set of circumstances. Wrong place/wrong time. I feel for the person who was killed, but these things happen.

From now on, when someone posts anything factual I’m going to immediately respond...

“Easy now. From what we know now it could happen to anyone”

Contemplating this further, there is a good chance the pedestrian was walking along the edge of the highway next to the guardrail. He couldn't get off the road any further. He sure shouldn't have stayed in the car if it is in the middle of the road. In hindsight let it be a teaching moment that, to be safe, drivers should carry a florescent vest in a vehicle for emergencies, especially when driving at night.

I've been waiting for someone to suggest the victim should have played zone against Boeheim instead of man to man.

RiseAndFire, wherefore art thou?

Ten percent or so of all the economic value created in the Valley is related to that comment.

Why does this asshole make disparaging comments about other team’s players??

Someone change Jimbo’s diaper. I think he shit himself again.

Jay Bilas ripped into him and said he needed to be called out. Self importance is a very dangerous thing.

Meanwhile Bilas said something similar. But I guess he would counter that he’s paid for his opinion.

I just realized that Jimbo has averaged 13(!) losses the last five years.

Syracuse coach Jim Boeheim defended his son's apparent sucker punch of an opponent during the Orange's 96-57 win over Florida State in the second round of the ACC Tournament on Wednesday. Buddy Boeheim, who is Syracuse's leading scorer, appeared to inflict a cheap shot into the gut of FSU's Wyatt Wilkes during the first half of the game.

The blow caused Wilkes, who is 6-8 and 220 pounds, to double over, but there was no foul called. Jim Boeheim saw it as "inadvertent," he explained to media after the game.

"The kid pushed him twice and he swung around and hit him," Boeheim said. "I think it was inadvertent, but that's OK."

The elder Boeheim added that he was not worried about a potential suspension for his son.


"The kid pushed him twice," Boeheim said. "You can't just let push you around."

Well Jim hitting a pedestrian and his kid hitting a player are the only thing they will hit against a good defensive team.

Guys get pushed on every single play. What fucking sport is Jimbo coaching that it’s fine to sucker punch someone who is literally just playing the game?

It's Jim's world and we are just living in it. He was the one that said Akinjo was the problem at Georgetown. Let's see he was all PAC 12 and probably all conference at Baylor. You make the call.

I'm not seeing how Buddy's sucker punch is worse than Juwan's.

No one brought him up before you, so who's comparing the two separate incidents

This is very odd commentary…

One guy threw a punch, while on the court. Another guy threw a punch, while on the court.

One guy was suspended for five games. The other will play in his next game.

Never mind...he's suspended.
