I guess, in the sense he just set the stage for a season-long attention fest like roi was expected to do, instead of just stepping down without making a yuge deal about it like roi did.

It will be interesting to see how Scheyer does there for the next few years. I wouldn't put money on him being the Duke coach 10 years from now. He'll be the same age K was when he took the Duke job but fans and athletic directors are much less patient than they were in the early 80s.

I think it's a supremely terrible goddamned idea to pick, in this case, a guy who was around for Bagley and Zion and whatever else the last 7-8 years.

I think it's probably a huuge mistake. But, not that surprising. It just FELT like that was the plan from a few years back.

In 90% of circumstances, I wouldn't be surprised.

But, this is thee blueblood basketball brand and they are passing on a guy that went to two championship games for a 33-year-old guy that hasn't been a head coach just to keep it in the family?


Are we OK in five-ish years if Bill demands that Jeremy Case take over our blueblood program, because that is kind of what UNC and Duke just did. Crazy.

Oh, it's a surprise from the perspective of Dook being a national program and all that.

It's not a surprise because if felt like it was happening. And because when coaches become transcendent they do shit like this.

I might be way off, but I hope, and even think that Bill's ego won't be big enough to pull this on KU.

I hope not too.

But also, who would it be? Other than Townsend, who is no longer even a possibility, he doesn't have the longtime loyal old fart who never got his chance, and he doesn't have the young protege he's been grooming either.
