The student section at one end of the basketball court named after Syracuse's Hall of Fame coach is a raucous place, and it reached a fever pitch Saturday when a 5-foot cardboard cutout of Boeheim's head debuted in the stands.

Coverage of Hudson splashdown
gets APME award

AP's fast, multidimensional coverage of the splashdown of a passenger jet into the Hudson River has been honored for Deadline Reporting by the Associated Press Managing Editors Association.

"The world expects The Associated Press to react well to breaking news, especially when it occurs in the main office's backyard," the APME judges said in making the award to AP's New York City staff. "But when a US Airways jetliner crash-landed in the Hudson River on January 15, the AP staff in New York ne, producing a series of insightful, compelling and exclusive stories that demonstrated the power of the world's largest news organization."
From the first alert at 3:51 p.m. until 11 p.m. the main story was updated 19 times. By then, AP also had produced sidebars, including profiles of the pilot and passengers, a reconstruction of the flight and the dangers birds pose to aviation, the judges noted.
"It was a company-wide effort that included several powerful and exclusive images by many photographers on the ground; multiple video packages; interactive graphics that explained how the flight failed; and bureaus around the country being enlisted in the reporting effort, from California to North Carolina to Washington, D.C.," they said. "A job well done on news that literally fell from the sky."
