Duke next hire will be a former Duke player

But he’s never been a head coach!  ;)

The very likely next hire at UNC is Wes Miller.

When his was mentioned in the coaching search thread, his name was met with laughs and yawns

It's damn near impossible to replace a legend/hall of famer and get the same results.  Unc and Duke are going to find out soon enough.

Maybe if I wanted to go and show all the coaches UCLA has hired since Wooden retired it would not be a lot of big time names

Turned 50 last year and promised myself I would do it.

Mike Woodson would definitely be in my top 10, my top 5. Dude played 12 years in the NBA, coached 25 years in the NBA, the highest level of basketball plus they added Matta. Where did Beard play? Oh he went to one final game and loves Texas. His daughters, and girlfriend is in Lubbock. We got the guy who loves IU

I think you hit the nail on the head as to why I am excited. Yea, it may not work, but this time, it isn't a guy chasing a bigger job, or bigger paycheck. MW knows full well what he is getting himself into here, he understands the pain the fanbase has gone through longing for a winner. He knows he doesn't want to fail at his Alma Mater, in his home state. He is here because he loves the place, and it really is his dream job. If IU was really BS dream job, then he would be coming, period. I say fine, stay in the NBA, give me someone who wants it. I keep wondering why no one is mentioning the stones on MW for taking on the challenge. He could have ridden millions in assistant coach or head coach NBA dollars into retirement, but didn't, because this place is special to him, and he knows how special it is to us..

My least favorite procedure. Because of family history, I'm on the every 3 year plan.

5 years for me. Go back in 2 years when I'm 30. I just put a tv close by and play video games.

Guessing, based on your account name, I'm pretty sure I know you and your brother. I graduated in '92, played tennis and baseball. My brothers and sister went to NSHS. Small world.

Had one at 45 and just had my check up when I was 50 and can go another 5 without one. I was happy when I found out they check your prostate by a blood test now than the old way

Just know that if you were excited about Archie and Crean then your instincts aren’t all that great. So there’s no need to trust them now that they’ve got you down. 
 

As a wise man once said, if it’s inevitable lay back and enjoy it. 

I love RMK, but that was the most asinine thing he ever said- I have 2 daughters and pray they never have to make that choice.

Sorry to dampen the thread, but I just can't...

I think Parker Stewart is an important player to retain. I know we didn't see him play this year, but in the proper NBA system and development, a Lander, Franklin, Stewart backcourt can compete right away. 

I would think Franklin would thrive with the coaching of one of the best wings to ever wear the Candy stripes.

If a player CHOOSE not to go, that makes it easier on a roster spot...

Yup. Whoever it is, I would be working immediately to fill that spot. There isn’t a player on that roster good enough to not hear Woodson out. Good riddance.

This is Indiana and who cares who those guys would hire.  UNC hired Matt Dougherty so they did the same thing.  Maybe Iu heard the same thing about beard that UCLA did when they decided not to reach out to Beard.

And they had the other old fart before Doherty who tanked the program. Unc begged roy to come home and were lucky they had a tier 1 coach in their ranks.
 

 Ucla hired Alford who is an iu guy but wouldn’t make many top 10 lists. And lavin. 

UK has had a few stinkers even though pitino and now cal were big boy hires. But cal came with baggage and Pitino was a young guy walking into a dead program. 
 

Duke has had the same guy for 40+ years. 
 

Really, Kansas is the one that seems to nail it every time. We should hire ADs that are KU alums, i guess.

Again, who cares what he thinks. I wish IU fans would stop interacting with him on Twitter. He is getting what he wants. This is the same guy that ripped people for saying Archie wouldn't work back when he was hired in 2017. He is like Skip Bayless- an entertainer.

I love how these media guys continue to be wrong and carry on with the same, cocky attitude.

This is the guy that said Archie was a home run hire, right? The same guy that lambasted people who questioned the Archie hire?

To be that wrong, and carry on like you've never been wrong takes a special person.

The old fart you are talking about went to 2 final fours in 3 years
