Jim Boeheim was yet again honored with his counterpart from the University of Connecticut, Coach Jim Calhoun, on April 21st in New York City. Both Hall Of Fame coaches were honored with the "Spirit of Jimmy V" award for exemplifying former NC State coach Jim Valvano and his famous 1993 ESPY Award speech. Both cancer survivors, their work off the court has proven to be invaluable to the fight against cancer. As someone who has lost someone to cancer, as well as being an alumnus of Syracuse, I felt it was necessary to mention Jim Boeheim’s lesser known accomplishments. He really makes his alma mater proud, even if it’s not always on the hardwood.
