The big timers all seem to be calling it quits. I would expect Boeheim and maybe Huggins are close behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Now, If we could only get Boeheim to leave after this season and replace him with a younger model I'd be pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eball Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The old man was slipping. Apparently another pasty-faced Dookie will be replacing him...Jon Scheyer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back2Buff Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 About time. These old guys just can't keep up. CBB is a different world. It's literally all about recruiting for one year. I can see why Scheyer would be next in line, he has been the main recruiter for Duke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 It's time. You could see him fading over the last few years. There is no way in Hades Coach K from the early 2000's doesn't get a banner with Zion, Barrett, Reddish, and Jones. 1 hour ago, The Jokeman said: I wonder if they'd call Bobby Hurley to replace him. I think the consensus right now is that Scheyer will be taking the reigns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That brand will still be there, meaning the top facilities, most national exposure, connections. good conference, etc. Not sure who would want to play under K's coaching recently. These players went there for the exposure they receive at being at a school that gets the most televised games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 Sounds like Scheyer has been named the Coach in Waiting I wish he would just go now or have waited until toward the end of the season to announce. Now it’s going to be one giant nauseating farewell tour all season on ESPNs coverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of traditional power houses are not winning national championships and it doesn't change anything. The hate will always be there that people will tune into.

Coach K is one of the best that's ever done it Even on a bad day he's better than 95% of coaches. They're absolutely going to take a hit for a bit Duke is absolutely going to take a step backwards. Does it mean they're going to be irrelevant? No .. but even Alabama took years to find her footing after Bear Bryant left Coach K is Duke. The brand will not be the same I'm not saying they're going to be trash either. I'm just saying they're not going to be perennial top 10 Edited June 3, 2021 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hate dies down, as does the exposure, the less winning that occurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordio Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 The guys and I were talking last night at the bar after our softball game about K retiring. What do you think the ticket price on the secondary market for the last game of the regular season @ Cameron against the Heels is going to go for next March?

Quite honestly, the last 5 years have been some of the worst coaching performances in CBB. Coach K has made Duke, but he is not Duke. They have become their own brand now. The college bb brand will never be the same, that applies to Duke too, with or without K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how you're saying they're not perennially top 10 with Coach K In the final AP poll they finished top 10.. 11 times in the last 15 years.. 7 out of last 10... more than any program 4 elite 8 in the last 8 years They're not winning national championships like they used to.. that doesn't mean they're not a top 10 team Which statistically they absolutely are Edited June 3, 2021 by Buffalo716 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 2015 National Championship, they have been largely a disappointment. There has been consistent good teams during the last 5 years, and Duke has not been one of them.

dpberr Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Gotta retire sometime. For a guy like him though, the current state of affairs in college basketball probably gets less inspiring with each passing season. You essentially work to capture lightning in a bottle for one year before all your freshman and sophomore superstars declare for the NBA Draft. It's something - since 1990 only Duke and Florida have won back to back championships. Duke did it in 1991 and 1992. Florida did it in 2006 and 2007.

When you are recruiting largely one and done and two and done talent Sometimes you have a few teams that don't gel for a couple years You have schools like Gonzaga and Villanova and Virginia which are upper classmen heavy , and they might not have the top 10 recruits that Duke has... But they have top 50 recruits And they're seniors with experience Talented Duke teams which are freshman and sophomore heavy sometimes just get outclassed on a day by an older savvier team Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
