A close friend of Boeheim’s says the coach is devastated:
Boeheim is “devastated” … according to his good friend, Adam Weitsman, who spoke with the coach Thursday morning.
WTVH reporter Michael Benny spoke with Weitsman who says Boeheim is clearly affected by the crash.
“He says the man was in the middle of the road, not along the side or anything like that,” Weitsman told Benny.
