It almost as if he had a choice to end it on his own terms and chose not to do it.
According to NYT and SI, Boeheim announced plans to retire after the 2018 Tournament (which may have had to do with the then recent sanctions) but any Orange being honest with themselves should be able to admit that Boeheim should have retired for the good of the program after the season - 2016 - he made the initial announcement. Then Syracuse made the Final 4 as a 10 seed, which covered up the notion that the game may have past him by.

Hopkins leaving for U-Dub and Boeheim's son joining the program didn't help the original timeline either, but his own terms prevented him ending it on his own terms.

Jim's in luck! They are putting together a live-action Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and they have a part for him:

I'm saying if at any point in the past 10 years Boeheim wanted to retire, he could have made the call and done it however he wanted- early in the preseason and get a retirement tour, at end of last game of the season, whenever.

He chose the curmudgeon route of forcing his boss to make the move and when you choose that path it gets done on the boss's timeline.

I was agreeing with you before the clarification.
