If Indiana hired Hubert Davis or Jon Scheyer this board would’ve been apoplectic. 

Well ... yeah. There would've been absolutely no reason for IU to even consider either one.

He’s just going to try and continue on what K has already built. It’s no different than what Davis is going to do at UNC other than their age. With a program that’s established it’s stupid for a school to hire someone that’s going to come in and start changing things to do it their way. 

Definitely Duke and UNC are using the same 'apprenticeship' model. The difference is who each school picked. Hubert Davis was a former NBA player with media experience before coming back to UNC; he seems to be outspoken and have outgoing personality. IMO, he would probably try to establish his own program with minimal intervention by Roy Williams. Scheyer seems to be quite the opposite; he could well be a great coach in the making, but I'm suspecting that K picked someone he can easily control. So Scheyer will be the new coach, but he will not really be the coach if that makes sense. I wonder if 5 stars and high 4 stars would want to come play for 34 year old coach who doesn't have much on his resume.

I have said the last few years that Duke would keep it in the family.

Good news with the number of new players as well as new staff we have.

And now the hiring of Thad Matta looks even better. Too bad Roberts jetted but there is still that GA they hired.

[Alford Bailey]

I thought with everything that happened in the last year we would see some big names move on. Wouldnt be shocked if Izzo retired soon as well.

Probably not

Brian Walsh and Ben Sander more likely

I'm honestly okay with it although not surprising.

In that article, there was a link that mentioned the women's 3 pt line is moving to the int'l distance same as the existing men's line which should make the courts look a lot cleaner.

According to Woj, Juwan Howard is in the conversation for the Portland job. Hope, that doesn’t happen, but it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world for IUBB.

In consideration for the Celtics job too maybe?

So Wisconsin could've become the IU. That'd be dreadful.
