Bonheim defends assistant coach against sexual abuse allegations...
Keep your mouth shut Jim.

Syracuse quickly responded to allegations that assistant coach Bernie Fine sexually molested at least one boy and is now being investigated by police. The school issued a statement and placed Fine on administrative leave.

But Orange head coach Jim Boeheim (pictured, with Fine to his right) issued an emphatic response of his own.

“I’ve known Bernie Fine for 45 years, and there’s absolutely no way that I believe any of this could possibly have happened,” he told the New York Times. “That’s the bottom line.”

Fine, in his 35th season as Boeheim’s assistant, has been accused by Bobby Davis, a former Syracuse ball boy who told ESPN that Fine allegedly molested him starting in 1983 at multiple sites, including Fine’s home and Syracuse facilities. Davis, 39, says he tried to have police investigate Fine in 2003, but was told the statute of limitations had expired and they would not investigate.
