Duke hired a coach who has zero head coaching experience.  And they are number one in the nation.  A good coach can coach no matter the experience. A bad coach can’t even with experience. 

This is incredibly naive. Jon is benefiting from the instructor Duke has. Coach K didn't walk away from the program. He is overseeing it--helping Jon, making connections to money people, connections to coaches, other influences and recruits.

Yeah, I don't mean it in a malicious way, but I get a kick out of that info after 2021 and now this coaching search.  A small part of me hopes it's BS, but I also don't want to fall for it.  Fool me once, shame on you.  Fool me twice, shame on me. 

No I dont believe that it was malicious at all. I dont know who the coach is going to be,  all I know is that whoever it is they probably will be better than Woodson. I was here for the 21 coaching search and I have to say this one has been far more wild and fun. I honestly just saw the post, and did a double take lol. No issues here

Scheyer has unreal backing from Nike and gets the pick of the litter. He seems like a competent coach with every advantage known to man.

 

Also recruited kids of this caliber and dealt with the egos and things that accompany big recruits with Coach K for years.

 

If we had Dukes advantages I’d be less worried as our coach could virtually hand pick his starting lineup every season.

We need to get back to basics! We aren't getting Cooper flaggs, so we need an x and o's coach who can get the most out of the Keith smart's and Steve alford's.

Brad Stevens will be the next coach at IU.  Done deal.

 

 

 

So I've been told. 

I'm still holding out for Stevens.  Maybe I'm a fool, but I want to believe.  I'm so tired of Woodson and company just about anyone would make me happy.  Bennett, McDermott, McCasland, Collins, and McCollum would all be guys that have solid systems that could win at IU with our resources.  If Stevens says no, I would be happy with any of these coaches.  I would root for IU if Beard or Wade was hired, but I just don't see either happening.  Please Brad, don't leave us waiting at the altar.  The nation is watching, we can't be a jilted bride again.

Don’t get me wrong…..It’s no secret that I am one of several on here that would love for that to happen, but…..please, the “done deal” is like the kiss of death. Please take that part back! lol

Long article on McCollum.  Worth a read.

Confusion should be the only available reaction for this thread (or IU basketball in general the last 30 years).

I was watching Creighton like you told me to. :-)

I would never lead your wrong when it comes to college basketball watching.   You are welcome for the 2OT game that delivered.   Must be nice to have a coach that can find a way to win a game when your kids are not playing well.  They never led in regulation but still found a way to win.   Delivering

K literally has an office on campus, and runs a podcast there. Scheyer is coaching Duke in the same way a kid is driving the boat from his dad’s lap. He’s also still benefitting from an absurd recruiting advantage due to K. When no one wants Duke and the ACC collapses, their silly run is over. Book it.
