Hoping Duke fills the vacancy with Christian Laettner, who has expressed an interest in the past. He would shake things up for Duke and not be afraid to get into K for some of the things they've been doing poorly lately. My guess is Scheyer becomes a full-time assistant this season after being on the bench last year as a special assistant.
Gonna miss those lengthy "Associate Head Coach" halftime interviews next year. They always had that, they don't need me back there feel about them.
The Big Lead says Jay Williams is in talks about the assistant job. Coach K loves his former PGs.
That would be a much better hire than Scheyer. Williams has been critical of Duke as an ESPN analyst and would probably provide a different view as a guy who has been out of the program much longer and also has more experience dealing with coaches and players who do things differently. With Capel now the big man coach, it makes sense to bring in someone to coach the guards. Wojo was doing it this season, Nate James was working more with the big guys.
And Duke-bound Grayson Allen won the dunk contest.
He's a 6'4", 185 white boy. He'll be the new hate target, can't wait.

Alarmingly unathletic.

Leaving school might be the better term there. Not sure he gets drafted at this point, maybe a late 2nd-round pick. Had a chance to be a lottery pick early in his career, just never made the jump to being an elite post player. At this point, he would have been better off coming back and trying to show he can improve his jumper and consistency as a senior. UNC might benefit from this though, at times they were better with Johnson on the court and McAdoo on the bench this year.
James Michael was a heck of an on-court leader. When he hustled the team always responded. He was a good defender too.
Brice Johnson might score well, but he's going to have to put in the work to become much better defensively and on the boards. He'll have to work to stop picking up cheap fouls too, although James Michael did that too. It also allows Isiah Hicks to move to the 4, so he won't have to play out of position any more. We'll see if he improves with that change.

He's a thoughtful, articulate, and bright kid who has a big time future in whatever he does. That article was well-done. Good luck and hope you are in Celtic green.Greg29fan said:

The league announced the new schedule format for the next two years.

Thanks. Duke's "away only" schedule next year is brutal, and then UNC's "away only" schedule the following year is similarly brutal.
Louisville's whole schedule is brutal next year. Combined 2014-15 ACC record of over 20 games over .500.Greg29fan said:
There is absolutely no way Coach K goes to the Lakers this time UNLESS LeBron comes to LA. If and only if that happens, then he'll think about it. But, even then why would he leave Duke?
Obi is a CT kid who went to a small private school in Westport, Greens Farms Academy. Pretty amazing to see a GFA kid go to Duke.DukeSox said:
Duke goes to Wisconsin for the ACC/Big Ten Challenge. UNC hosts Iowa.

Holy crap--I may have to go.
Are you reading that somewhere, or just throwing it out there? IMO Roy would be a disaster in the NBA

keep in mind that Mitch Kupchak is a UNC grad and might just be giving Roy a PR boost or something. I can't see it ever happening.

I like it. Like the old Big East. Have always hated the Sunday championship game right before the brackets come out. Never seemed like enough time for the committee.
