Possible landing spot for any number of top coaches.  Who's got next?

[cheebs09]

Scheyer being the leader is crazy to me. Wojo has a better resume.

Legendary Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski to retire after 2021-22 season, per report

SUPERBAR

First time, aina?

[MomofMUltiples]

Ignore my thread - 4ever beat me by milliseconds.

Just in time for Brad to leave coaching for back office role with the Celtics... hmm

yeah...that shocks the he11 out of me...

First Roy, now Coach K.  I think the older guys don't want to live in a world where they have to re-recruit their guys every year.  Can't be too tough on a lot of guys. 

Or, he's just tired and has had enough. 

At any rate, his legacy is secure.  It will be very interesting where they pull their next coach from.  You have to have a huge ego to want the job immediately after Coach K.

Saw Theo eating a weight and decided he had enough.

[The Lens]

Coach K will only retire after he gets to coach Theo John.

[tower912]

Once you've coached Theo, there is nowhere to go but down.

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

No idea why that would shock anyone.  It was clear that he was going to pick his successor.  And I don't think a lot of high level coaches are going to want to follow in his footsteps anyway.  You want to be Scheyer's successor. 

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Jon unnatural carnal knowledgeing Scheyer?

Dude can’t even spell Cat if you spotted him the C and the A.

This is gonna be great.

Scheyer being named the coach-in-waiting.

[WhiteTrash]

Obviously I don't know Scheyer and he maybe great  but this feels like Duke hitting the pause button before hiring a real coach. Plus Coach K is happy with his guy taking over.

[fjm]

Once you've coached Theo, there is nowhere to go but down.

Bingo

[CountryRoads]

If Wojo was competent even in the least bit, this would have been his final year at MU anyway. Good riddance.

[MUBurrow]

If K is going to do the farewell tour thing, you kind of have to name a coach in waiting.  So maybe Coach K handpicked him or maybe it was right place, right time.

[94Warrior]

Wojo would tread water in that role, Scheyer will sink.

Should be fun!

[The Hippie Satan of Hyperbole]

I just don't think you understand how hard it would be on a coach from outside "the family" going into a situation like Duke's immediately post Coach K.  Any sort of slip up, and it would be very difficult for him.

That’s fair. But I also don’t know if Scheyer would make a top list of coaches in the family. Granted, K might see something in him and being on staff takes away a distraction.

I would think Capel would have been a better hire.

[Galway Eagle]

Wojo would tread water in that role, Scheyer will sink.

Should be fun!

I'm not entirely sure. If you put Wojo in a situation where all those 5 stars he narrowly missed on suddenly come running it might've been enough talent to overcome his horrific coaching.

Either way It doesn't matter just my opinion.

I would say that Jon Scheyer, assuming he is the guy, has the worst job in college sports up until whoever replaces Nick Saban
