Heh funny story.

I'm not so sure on Jim's involvementwith Coaches vs Cancer anymore. He has always had a fundraiser for CvC at Turning Stone Casino which raised a LOT of money. Seems sombody at CvC started raising a stink about being associated with gambling and wanted it moved. Boeheim told them no and basically set up his own charity. I think the quote was "Somebody will get a lot of money donated, it just won't be Coaches vs Cancer" or something along those lines.
