The announcement marks the first time that Boeheim and SU officials have put an actual date on his retirement.
Boeheim, 70, will enter next season with a career record of 858 wins and 333 career losses. He lost 108 coaching victories as part of the NCAA’s penalties. Boeheim was second on the NCAA’s all-time wins list before the NCAA penalties were announced. He now ranks sixth.
