Jim Boeheim’s legendary run as Syracuse basketball coach has come to an end, the school announced Wednesday.

Boeheim, 78, ranks second in Division I history with 1,015 wins. He coached his entire 47-year career at Syracuse, advancing to five Final Fours and winning the NCAA tournament championship in 2003.

“There is no doubt in my mind that without Jim Boeheim, Syracuse basketball would not be the powerhouse program it is today,” Syracuse chancellor Kent Syverud said. “Jim has invested and dedicated the majority of his life to building this program, cultivating generations of student-athletes and representing his alma mater with pride and distinction. I extend my deep appreciation and gratitude to an alumnus who epitomizes what it means to be ‘Forever Orange.’”

Assistant coach Adrian Autry has been installed as Boeheim’s successor. Autry, a former Syracuse point guard, has been on the Orange staff since 2011.

Boeheim’s departure comes on the day Syracuse lost to Wake Forest 77-74 in the second round of the ACC tournament in Greensboro, N.C., ending its season at 17-14. He was evasive when asked if he was retiring in his post-game press conference.

“I gave my retirement speech last week, and nobody picked up on it,” Boeheim said, via ESPN. “This is up to the university. I just said it. I don’t know. I said this is up to the university.”

When pressed about when he might make a decision on returning next season, Boeheim replied ”you’re talking to the wrong guy.”

Boeheim — who was not quoted in the release announcing his departure — grew up Lyons, N.Y., just west of Syracuse. He walked onto the basketball team at Syracuse in 1962, and was a team captain as a senior.

Boeheim joined Roy Danforth’s Syracuse staff in 1969, and ultimately replaced Danforth when the elder coach left for Tulane in 1976. In addition to the national championship in 2003 and Final Four berths in 1987, 1996, 2003 and 2016, Boeheim’s teams won 10 Big East regular-season championships and five Big East tournament titles.

“I have spent my entire career surrounded by the biggest and best names in professional and intercollegiate athletics. Few people are on the same playing field as Coach Boeheim,” Syracuse athletics director John Wildhack said. “Jim Boeheim is synonymous with excellence, grit and determination. Jim is a rare breed of coach, building a program that is among the best in college basketball for nearly five decades. I am incredibly grateful for what he has done for Syracuse Basketball, Syracuse Athletics and Syracuse University as a whole.”

Boeheim was inducted into Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2005 and the College Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006. He was an assistant coach for U.S. Olympic gold medal-winning teams in 2008, 2012 and 2016 under Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, the only Division I coach with more career victories.
