Jim Boeheim Is Awesome

by Sean Keeley on Mar 31, 2009 12:27 PM EDT

Condesention (kän-di-ˈsen(t)-shən)
Function: noun
Etymology: Late Latin condescension-, condescensio, from condescendere

1 : voluntary descent from one's rank or dignity in relations with an inferior

2 : patronizing attitude or behavior

3 : See Jim Boeheim in the below press conference (skip to 1:05 for the good stuff):

Flynn and Boeheim asked if Flynn will return

Jim, I hope you never leave us. And at the very least, I hope you pass your disdain for the common man on to Hopkins. If nothing else.

I would not want to be on the other end of that glare at the end.

Wow.

The best part...

is the staredown Boeheim gives the reporter after he stands up. Simply fantastic and vintage Jim Boeheim.

I was scared for myself.

I think the reporter (see "idiot") must have sh*t his pants

if you listen really close..

after boeheim says “some players are idiots too” he mumbles .. ‘paul harris’ .. almost inaudible but its there.

Do we have any idea

who it was?

Sounds Like Steve Andress of WAER in Syracuse

At least, that’s what we decided when we posted this a couple days ago…http://holdingonrubenbrown.blogspot.com/2009/03/jim-boeheim-may-or-may-not-think-youre.html

In the first video posted in the above linked story, Andress introduces himself before asking Jonny a different game related question (about 52 seconds into the video). The voices definitely sound the same.

It's definitely Steve who countered the glare with a smile

…and orngfan haha. i was thinkin the same thing about Paul Harris but syracuse.com readers are more sensitive than Nunes readers so i figured it wouldn’t go over well.
