an assistant's wife?

I asked a friend who is a former D1 coach what he thought of the hire. "Such a joke, but the AD is an idiot so I'm not surprised." This coach knew the AD when the current GB AD was a JUCO AD.

Yeah I'm failing to see how they made an upgrade here. I mean they'll get some mileage on Bo's son, but that's going to wear off without wins.

The IRS issued guidance on Friday that implements a change in the 2017 tax overhaul, and levies a 21 percent excise tax on some nonprofit employees' salaries above $1 million. The tax could also hit many highly compensated private college coaches as well as non-profit hospital executives, such as Kenneth Davis at Mount Sinai in New York or Yale New Haven Hospital's Marna Borgstrom.

The tax is paid by the organization, not the employee.

I can't see Duke going for a new hire in his 60s that plays slow-down basketball and doesn't recruit at a high level.

Bray aslo hasn't been a Duke assistant for 25 years.  Maybe if Coach K retired ten years ago Bray would have been the choice, but I can't see it now.

If I were Duke, I would see how the next couple of years to see how Capel does at Pitt.  He can at least recruit.
