Boeheim disagrees with [the assumption that he enjoys coaching]. "I have never enjoyed coaching," he said. "I hope someday if I need an operation, when that doctor walks into the operating room he’s not there to enjoy himself." What about after the operation is a success? For a moment he did actually smile. "If you have success, then you’re satisfied," he said. "That’s completely different." He paused for a moment. "I guess if you win a lot and you get a lot of satisfaction from the wins then maybe — maybe — you can enjoy it just a little."

From John Feinstein's piece in the Washington Post entitled "Jim Boeheim doesn’t enjoy coaching; he enjoys winning."
