Beleaguered Syracuse basketball coach Jim Boeheim was greeted by another loud ovation Friday night before his fourth-ranked Orange met No. 10 Florida - and former star Carmelo Anthony had a front-row seat.
Boeheim, who received a mild welcome when he first strolled onto the court that bears his name, waved off the applause after he was introduced.
Former associate head coach Bernie Fine was fired Sunday night after a tumultuous weekend of new revelations in the investigation of child molestation allegations against him.
Some advocates for sex abuse victims have said Boeheim should resign or be fired after three men, including two former Syracuse ball boys, accused Fine of molesting them and Boeheim verbally disparaged the accusers in defense of his long-time friend.
