In our quest to provide Syracuse Orange fans with the most extensive #jokesandgarbage content we embark on a new feature here at TNIAAM- The Official Jim Boeheim Jacket Toss Tracker™ or TOJBJTT for short. (Sponsorship opportunities are available so leave a comment if interested).

Obviously the most famous Boeheim Jacket Toss came at Duke on the worst charge/block call ever, but lately the tosses are becoming more and more frequent. You’ll recall that we were able to snag exclusive interviews with Boeheim’s jacket last year and also grabbed a follow up in December after the Cornell game so it’s safe to say we’ve got this pattern covered down to the smallest stitch.

In each of our #FakeNunes ACC previews we’ve even given you a jacket toss meter and I think Jim’s been reading them because he’s tossed the coats when we’ve least expected it to happen. We attempted to get a comment from the jacket but it’s decided to button up right now and keep all of its’ feelings hemmed in.

So we’re left on our own to try and pull this thread together and to do so we need to take some measurements. We’ll start by pulling out the tape and charting each time we saw Boeheim launch his sports coat at the Orange bench. Here’s what we have so far:

At this rate we are looking at three more jacket tosses in the remaining this season. Will Jim continue to fully suit and shed the jacket in the Dome or is the BC toss his way of tailoring his game to secure key road wins? Stay tuned to TNIAAM where we’ll be covering every thread of this developing story.
