What former Duke player would you like to see come on as an assistant coach?

[T-Bone]

Cherokee Parks. 

Seconded.

[NavinRJohnson]

Jay Bilas. Not close.

[ChicosBailBonds]

Roshown McLeod

Here's the most recent interview I can find from him regarding coaching: http://www.maxpreps.com/news/VgrMaGGDEeCkhgAcxJSkrA/st-benedicts-prep-coach-roshown-mcleod-resigns,-plans-return-to-college.htm

He was Creaned from his Assistant job at II,II in 2009.

Wojo should know whether or not he's the type of guy he'd like to bring on. Solid experience, but a strange career.

Uhm, no thanks

He was Creaned because he's a terrible coach with a bad attitude.

[ChicosBailBonds]

He runs the Roshown McLeod basketball academy in Atlanta.  He was (Ro)shown the door at IU and hasn't been back in the college ranks since. He was St. Benedict's high school coach for one year before resigning.

Alaa Abdelnaby. Could open new doors to the basketball hot bed of Egypt.

If its Reggie Love things will get interesting around here

I knew Langdon was the assassin...but since Derrick's from Alaska, too, what would his AK nickname be?

Juneau So-so

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

What about Jon Scheyer?  I think he's from Chicago.

Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.

[MUHoopsFan2]

Nate James
Jeff Capel
Christian Leattner [If he is even interested in coaching which I doubt...]
Trajan Langdon [If he is done playing...which he might be.

*I wonder what Jay Bilas said about this hire...I respect him a great deal. He is an excellent analyst. I wonder what his take was on this hire?

Nate James
Jeff Capel
Christian Leattner [If he is even interested in coaching which I doubt...]
Trajan Langdon [If he is done playing...which he might be.

Langdon is an advance scout for the San Antonio Spurs. I think he'd be a great choice, but not sure he's eager to leave the NBA to be a college assistant. From what I've read, he has his sights set on a front-office gig rather than coaching.

Nice. How about the "Anchorage CLANKorage".

[Wojo'sMojo]

Nice. How about the "Anchorage CLANKorage".

Lol, that was a good one!

[mujivitz06]

Chris Carrowell

[Silkk the Shaka]

Anyone but Christian Laettner.

Shane Battier would be my choice too.

Laettner is the epitome of why I hate Duke. Silver spoon a-hole that reeks of condescencion. The HS he went to costs ~$20k/year and the parking lot is lined with Range Rovers & Beemers the kids drive to school. Seems like the kinda guy that would yell at a homeless veteran to "get a job" then purposely drive into a puddle to splash the guy while driving past in his Maserati. Maybe that's just me.

Conversely, what I liked about Wojo in his opening presser is that he was a 1st generation college student. No stranger to working his way up in the world.

Did you not go to Marquette?

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Did you not go to Marquette?

Yupp, unfortunately sounds like many of the kids I know that go here...

[swoopem]

Battier is from my neck of the woods in Birmingham, MI which is right outside Detroit. He went to Country Day which is a powerhouse in basketball (also produced Chris Webber). I think he'd be a great assistant being familiar with the midwest and if we can open a pipeline to Detroit that'd be amazing.

I have heard he's interested in politics though. Which might be roadblock unless he wants to campaign to 16-18 year old kids.

Lmao. 

I would be down with a 7 foot Sheikh rejecting shots left and right.

This is priceless, Keefe.

I wouldn't want any Duke player sitting next to Woj during his first couple seasons, and I'm sure neither does he.
I would actually vote for a former MU player -- Todd Townshend. He's got several years' experience recruiting in Chicago, plus he has a nice John Thompson II look going these days.

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

Maybe salt in the wound, but what about Jon Harris?

Cuz all kids that go to expensive schools are paying full freight, or don't work....it's all given to them.

[Eldon]

Bingo. The way you describe Duke students is exactly how everyone in WI describes MU students

Wow, do you not know what you're talking about. Might wanna check Laettner's history before spewing this. Dude fricken grew up on a farm and had to work off financial aid in HS. What he got, he earned. Pretty sure you don't become one of the greatest college players ever by being a Silver spoon a-hole.
