Maybe he misspelled it while searching the info.



Boeheim enrolled in Syracuse University as a student in 1962, and graduated with a bachelor's degree in social science.[1] During his freshman year, Boeheim was a walk-on with the freshman basketball team. By his senior year he was the team captain and a teammate of All-American Dave Bing, his freshman roommate. The pair led coach Fred Lewis's Orange to a 22–6 overall win-loss record that earned the team's second-ever NCAA tournament berth. While at Syracuse, he joined the Delta Upsilon fraternity.

After graduating from Syracuse, Boeheim played professional basketball with the Scranton Miners of the Eastern Professional Basketball League, during which he won two championships[2] and was a second-team all-star (SU Athletics).

Basketball was invented when he was that young?

Edit: I see Big Wayne and OPK have faster fingers than I do.

Bzzzt. Incorrect. We all know who invented basketball (and a delay offense and finger-pointing and jumping under the shooter and intimidating the refs and countless other advances).

Did Dean do that on the seventh day while he was otherwise resting?

I think it was in between teaching Gandhi the principles of non-violence and inspiring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to do something about racial discrimination in America b/c Dean couldn't solve the problem all by himself.

Well he could — but all he asks is a point-to for the assist.
