SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Syracuse men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim did not address the Bernie Fine investigation at the start of his weekly radio show.
Thursday night’s show began with host Matt Park saying Boeheim made “extensive comments” Tuesday and nothing more would be said about the inquiry.
Three men, including two former Syracuse ballboys, have accused Boeheim’s longtime assistant, who was fired Sunday, of molesting them as minors.
More than a dozen students had put up tents and already were waiting by the doors of the dome for Friday’s night game against No. 10 Florida in a temporary encampment called “Boeheimburg.” Huddling against the cold, one group of students, who said they have been waiting outside since Tuesday, enthusiastically supported Boeheim.
Max Kaplan, a freshman from Randolph, N.J., called Boeheim “the face of Syracuse basketball.”
