Jim Boeheim Was a Condescending Jerk to a Reporter Asking a Relevant Question
Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim is the absolute worst, as many important historians have said. On Monday night, he continued to bolster that reputation by being a jerk to a reporter who asked a relevant question any head coach should answer.
Virginia beat the Orange 67-62 at the JMA Wireless Dome Monday night. It was the third-straight loss for Syracuse and dropped the team to 13-10 on the season. Boeheim was in a salty mood after the game when a reporter asked why sophomore forward Benny Williams wasn't with the team. As is his personality, Boeheim was a condescending jerk when answering.

When a player who has started 20 games this season isn't even on the bench for a game, it's absolutely fair for a reporter to ask why. Part of Boeheim's job is being a grown up and answering questions like that. But apparently he's incapable of that.
