Syracuse men’s basketball coach Jim Boeheim has apologized for questioning the motives of the men who accused his longtime assistant of molesting them as minors.
The coach says he “misspoke very badly” in his response to their allegations.
Boeheim says: “I’m really sorry that I did that.”
He adds that his comments were insensitive to the individuals involved and especially to the overall issue of sex abuse.
Boeheim spoke Friday night after No. 4 Syracuse beat No. 10 Florida, 72-68.
Fine has been accused by three men, including two former Syracuse ballboys, of molesting them as minors. Fine, who was fired Sunday, has denied the allegations.
