Syracuse, N.Y. — Neil Gold had heard rumors that the jacket Jim Boeheim wore for his now infamous ejection from the Duke basketball game would be among the auction items available at the Jim and Juli Boeheim Foundation's annual Basket Ball. Gold, who stores his collection of at least 100 SU basketball-themed items in his Manlius basement devoted to the Orange, attended the Boeheim gala on Saturday with his wife, Helene. He had every intention, he said, of scoring the winning bid on that jacket.
"For somebody like me — this was perfect," said Gold. "It was the first time we played Duke at Cameron. It was the first time Coach was thrown out of a real game. It's part of Syracuse basketball lore now."

Gold said his phone has been "ringing off the hook" since his name became attached to the jacket. The $14,000 bid secured the jacket, shirt and tie Boeheim wore that day. The jacket has Boeheim's name stitched inside it. Gold isn't sure what size Boeheim wears, "but I would guess it's a 44 — which would be perfect."
