Coach Jim Boeheim defended Syracuse’s basketball program after a newly released book suggested that the Orangemen were guilty of recruiting violations.

Boeheim said there was no truth to the allegations made by Alexander Wolff and Armen Keteyian in their book, “Raw Recruits,” which links Syracuse to a “street agent” whose job is to sell the school’s program to elite New York players, giving them tickets to games, expensive sneakers and free transportation and other incentives.
