March The Daily Utah Ckromide - y Syracuse Coach Lacks Image, but Not Victories " Al Continental Airlines Arena When New York City was hit with a crippling blizzard that disrupted transportation and games HAL BOCK AP Sports Writer Of all the Final Four coaches, none has received more grief from his team's fans than Syracuse's Jim Bocheim: He is the favorite whipping boy of central. New York, blamed for just about everything but the snow. And if he were the weatherman, he'd probably get naQed for that, too. Maybe it's his bookish look. He's not an Armani suir guy, often prefer- ring a blazer or sport jacket and slacks. He looks more like an English professor than a basketball coach. But his track record is flaw482 victories in 20 seasons less and the winningest program in the - tough Big East Conference over the last decade. So what's the complaint? "It's more image than coaching," Bocheim said. "I've always said it's the image people don't like about me."

When Lawrence Moten called a timeout Syracuse didn't have, leading to a technical foul that let Arkansas off the hook and allowed the Razorbacks to eventually beat the Orangemen in last year's NCAA tournament, Bocheim got blamed. In 1992, when UMass eliminated Syracuse in the NCAA tournament, Bocheim got blamed. And when Richmond knocked off Syracuse in the first round of the 1991 tournament, the first time a No. 2 seed had ever lost to a No. 15 seed, boy did Bocheim get blamed.

After four years in the Eastern League, he returned to SU, first as a graduate assistant and assistant coach under Roy Danforth and then as the coach in 1976. In four years, he had 100 wins, the fastest anyone ever reached that plateau. He got to 200 in less than nine seasons, 300 in less than 13 and 400 in less than 17. He gets grief because like most fans, who are usually a tad less Saturday. "We're looking forward to getting out of our tournament schedule and into conference play," Utah Coach Jo Evans said Utah is midway through the season, and is anxious to get back into 'the full swing of the things in Western Athletic Conference play. The Utcs' 15-1- 5 conference record is season. 2-- 2 Monday, u We're very anxious to play Southern Utah this weekend, and I sense the team is ready to win," Evans said "If we play up to our capabilities, we should sweep the doubleheader."
