Pay, benefits, etc..organization, people behind it, etc..are much more significant here than with Ball. Whether it is a success or not, we'll see.

Plus, no Ball = addition by subtraction.

Jim Ferry hired at UMBC today.  Not that I really thought Wojo would end up there, but just increases the likelihood (in my eyes) that he takes the year off to spend time with family, etc.

Duke has an assistant opening with Smith going to Austin Peay.

Good hire but UMBC. Ferry had some excellent years at LIU-Brooklyn before an ill-fated decision to take on the Duquense job.

Wojo should get on an NBA bench. I think it would help him understand the more analytical part of the game.

Would an NBA bench really want him?  I can’t imagine those jobs are easy to get.  It seems like most of his perceived value at the college level was as a recruiter, which he wouldn’t be doing in the pros.

they need to hire someone tied to Huggins and Martin has the experience and enthusiasm behind him.

Jerome Allen, former (and disgraced) coach of Penn had a neck tattoo (something in script, probably a name) and Penn made him wear shirts with extra high collars to cover it during tames.

Anyone ever catch how one of Huggin's players was wearing an ankle bracelet this year?

Dwayne Stephens must not have good interview skills. He has applied to every job out there, Izzo has been promoting him and he still has not gotten a Head Coaching position.

Sitting in a Quantum Physics class doesn't equate to understanding the material.

Wojo sat next to one of the game's masters for almost two decades. From seven years of hard empiricism one can reasonably conclude the man learned very little.

But I am not sure Coach K is one of the "game's masters" right now.  He is relying more on the talent he recruits than how he coaches them.  If reports are accurate that Wojo didn't use analytics much, he learned that from somewhere right?  And I am not saying you should be absolutely beholden to numbers, but they should definitely help drive your decision making.  I get the impression that K is kinda doing the same things he's been doing for 25 years.

Is K still a game master or simply winning with the most talented players that line up to go to Duke?

And I will also say, the worse thing that Wojo could do is go back to Duke.  That's not going to help him.  Sitting on an NBA bench, or on the bench of a college coach that thinks differently than K, would be the best thing for him.

And I hope he gets another chance and succeeds.  I have no reason to hate the guy or wish him ill-will.
