Syracuse men's basketball finished at 17-15 (10-10) for the 2022-23 season. The offseason kicked into full force immediately after a season ending loss to Wake Forest in the ACC Tournament as it was announced that legendary head coach Jim Boeheim would retire after 47 seasons. In addition, the program announced its next head coach would be longtime assistant Adrian Autry. Autry is still in the top five in assists at Syracuse, was a McDonald's All-American, has extensive coaching experience and played for Boeheim. Autry, during his introductory press conference, indicated that Syracuse would be "versatile" on both ends of the floor in order to give themselves the best chance to win. Now his focus will be on retaining as many players from this past season as possible.

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
