Syracuse head basketball coach Jim Boeheim joined Twitter on Friday, one week before the Orange tip-off their season against Kennesaw State at the Carrier Dome. He is posting under the currently unverified account @therealboeheim. Boeheim may be late to the Twitter game but he appears to be ready to talk basketball. His first five tweets are below…
Seems like yesterday I got a cellphone and here I am on Twitter. I'll be signing BLEEDING ORANGE at DeWitt B&N tomorrow at 7 #myfirstTweet

Re Notifications: I won't be able to reply often. If I want to stay employed for another 50 years, see, the team is still my top priority.

The team and I had a great visit to Ed Smith School. We presented an NABC program "Stay In To Win," about the importance of school.

I'm new to this and getting some help. But this IS me. We'll have some fun, talk some hoops and a little bit about BLEEDING ORANGE.

If you are interested in my book, Bleeding Orange, I'll be signing copies at the Barnes & Noble on Erie Blvd. in DeWitt on Saturday at 6 pm

Seems like a natural? According to various media reports, this is indeed the real Jim Boeheim and not a staffer posting on his behalf.
