Former Duke Coaches

Of course, we hire Scheyer and suddenly Collins and Capel are finally good again.

They didn’t want to follow K.

NW hung on to win by 2.

I think this victory punches their ticket.

Game was tied with Northwestern getting the last shot but in single bonus. Indiana elected not to foul. Lost.

This is the happiest I've been for K in a long time. "Squeezing every bit of joy from that sponge" is perfect.

It was time. It was arguably time after 2020. I’m glad he didn’t trudge on for another 5-10 years and become our version of Boeheim/Bowden/Paterno.

 

[LastHearth]

I agree. In fact you can tell last year he had an extra spring in his step because he knew this was it, it was almost over. I do believe he squeezed every bit of joy, but he also squeezed every bit out of himself left it all on the floor. That's why he doesn't miss it, because he gave it everything he had and has nothing left to give.

K and co did a really nice job with the 2016 team, all things considered:

After the Amile injury, 2016 maxed out by reaching the S16 given our draw. I thought it was K’s best overall post-2015 coaching job.

Retired Coach K Spends Afternoon Screaming At Ducks To Get Back On Defense

DURHAM, NC—Pacing back and forth in front of a park bench on a beautiful sunny day, retired Duke University basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski reportedly spent Thursday afternoon screaming at the ducks to get back on defense. “What are you doing over there? Come on, hustle!” said the decorated...

Local park sources who observed the screaming retiree on the park bench noted that the man seemed to have a particular fondness for the whitest, most petulant duck.

Hahahaha

It's really too bad Ferry is not still the GM.

Snyder, Brey, Jalen Johnson, AJ Griffin...everyone's favorite collection of former Duke staff/players.

Grant Hill, owner

 

[rome8180]

So I guess we can expect them to do Duke a solid with other questionable draft picks. They've drafted Reddish, Johnson, and Griffin. Stocking up on Duke disappointments. I expect them to take Whitehead this year.

Watching Coach K get older is quite difficult for me and has opened a new pathway of thinking in my mind. It can be challenging, almost frightening depending on the context, to see people you look up to or admire get older. For so long Coach K was a monumental figure in my life to the point where I had this perception of immortality with him. Time and age come for us all. I truly hope he's able to live with adequate physical and mental health for years to come and enjoys retirement to the maximum with his wife, daughters, and grandchildren.
