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.

Yea but he's the main recruiter for kids to play UNDER Coach K.. not head coach Jon scheyer 

 

Duke is absolutely going to take a step back

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.

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.

The old man was slipping.  Apparently another pasty-faced Dookie will be replacing him...Jon Scheyer.

 

He set the bar pretty high for whining about every little call to have his way with the refs! That will be tough to live up to!

K built the Duke brand.  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.

Yeah but that will only last so long if they're not winning anymore.

What do you classify as "winning"?

 

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

Winning/going far in the tournament.  The hate dies down, as does the exposure, the less winning that occurs.
