Jim Boeheim tells Craig Sager he’s what we should ‘aspire to be’ in postgame interview
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
A loss in the Final Four is crushing for a coach, but Jim Boeheim didn’t let that get in the way of telling Craig Sager how he feels about him. Sager spoke with the coach moments after Syracuse lost to North Carolina and after a minute of basketball talk, Boeheim wanted Sager to know something from his heart:
“I’m proud of you. I’m really proud of you and what you’re doing. You’re a fighter. It’s something we should all aspire to be, and you’re setting an example that we all should be very happy to try and follow.”
This was a very cool moment. Kudos to Coach Boeheim, and we’re all thinking about you, Craig Sager.
