I would think it'd have to be. Most wins ever vacated in D1 basketball and they are on the slide this year. Sounds like the perfect time to get rid of him.

Couldn't have happened to a better guy. I absolutely can't stand him. Always has, and always will be a crook. Nothing made me smile more than when OU beat his @$$ behind a Tony Crocker lights out night in the NCAA tourney
Yes, that was a feel-good night that still feels good to this day.
Oh, and my guess to the question about "what they'll do to North Carolina," is absolutely nothing.
Yes and he's about as arrogant as any of them! Great way to end his career!
Britton Banowsky, commissioner of Conference USA and the chief hearing officer in the case, said during a teleconference that Syracuse’s behavior went “to the core values of the N.C.A.A. and higher education.”
Banowsky argued that N.C.A.A. policy was clear that head coaches bear responsibility for violations in their programs.
”A head coach has a duty to monitor those in the program and is also presumed to be accountable for their violations, and the presumption in the case was not effectivley rebutted at all,” he said.
Anyone else here who as old as me remember Britton Banowsky? He is the son of Bill Banowsky who was OU Prez for a while and he attended OU while I was there.

Syracuse also had the assistant coach whose wife was allegedly sleeping with players. You really get the full service treatment at the Cuse.
And couldn't happen to better guy. Boeheim may be the biggest jerk in high level athletics coaching, and that's a profession that is overrun with complete jerks.

Yes, that's what I was saying. I ran across him every once in a while because we had some common friends.

Best road win ever was when we went up to the Carrier Dome and beat them with Washington and I believe Coleman. David Johnson was a freshman was a beast.

Hopefully the win over KU won't be oe of hm.
No, Derrick Coleman was still in high school, but Pearl Washington was a freshman on that team. A guy named Sean Kearns kept them in that game. I was there, so my memory is vivid. My dad was in charge of taking the photos since he was better with a camera than me. I asked him to get as many of Wayman as possible, but he used most of the roll on the OU cheerleaders.
We beat them 2 out of 3 in the Boeheim era, all being important games. I've never been a huge Boeheim fan, but the guy can coach. However, like the others on here, I'm not going to lose any sleep tonight over what he has to deal with. This may be as good a time as any for a "retirement party."

Didn't we lose to them in the NCAA tournament when Hollis was a senior? Wonder if that is one of their 'vacated wins'.

Upon further review you are correct. It must have been great to be there. An atmosphere like that was new at the time and it must have been nuts. I just remember our guys from the Big 8 going toe to toe with the Beasts from the East.
What was even more impressive were the number of OU fans that traveled to the game. They were all seated in one section in the bottom set of rows. Most of them were OU students (game was between semesters), and we talked a bit at halftime. Syracuse did not have cheerleaders, and a bunch of their fans at halftime came down to talk to the OU gals. It was just a great atmosphere all the way around. Wayman really brought excitement to that program. Another historic fact resulted from that game. After that win, OU would be ranked in every poll for the next 7 years, save for the end of the 1987 regular season.
Of course, the 2003 game in Albany resulted in the polar opposite set of emotions. Without a healthy Hollis, we simply could not figure out their zone defense. I asked a few of the Syracuse fans if it was really that great of a defense. They said something to the effect that it was a very good defense, but we were amazingly inept at trying to figure it out. I think Hollis playing injured coupled with only one full day to prepare for it were the main factors as to why we couldn't score. As for their fans, overall, let's just say any OU fan attending that game took some extra pleasure in the 2009 Sweet 16 payback rout of the Orange.

I was also at that 2003 game in Albany, so I know exactly what you mean. The 2009 Sweet-16 win in Memphis over Syracuse was especially sweet, as I was there also. The 'Cuse fans seemed a lot like their basketball coach.
