Scheyer’s last three tournaments…
- Thread starter MdWIldcat55
- Start date
Pope could go 39-1, win every game by 35, lose the championship due to the whole team catching diarrhea at half time and people on this board would still be unhappy. Me included.
Punctuation rebel. Don’t worry, adding punctuation would not have helped your point. Lol
It’s been going on for a while but now the media is finally taking notice and it’s the talk of college basketball.
just how may NBA players does it take towin a title play for a title?
Said it in his first season. Scheyer is not a good coach at all and doesn’t command his team like Coach K, but he’s got the machine of NIKE sending him players so he maintains. Coach K is just now beginning to slide out from the scene, I don’t think his influence can go much more. We’re on year 4 and Coach K was already having issues. We’ll see what the little bich can do without him.

Well I don’t know but I sure hope hiring a guy with 10 years no major signed recruits no tournament appearances and a 63% winning percentage makes all 100% of the UK fanbase revolt. It’s unbelievable makin that hire here.
I think if you have the following:
Who knows if Scheyer could be successful at another school, but he's proven that he can do those two things well at Duke year after year. Yes, if I were a Duke fan I'd be concerned about the blown leads. But I actually think that's a function of having young teams as opposed to his coaching. The adjustment I'd try to make is to work in a few senior transfers more effectively.
- Consistent good recruiting (i.e., having the horses required to win)
- Consistent regular season success

“Does a coach survive that at Kentucky?”
What? Let’s see,
Cal had a losing season, a loss to a 15 seed, a second round exit, and then another loss to a 14 seed in the first round. He wasn’t being fired.
In Tubby’s last four years, he had a second round exit to UAB, Elite 8 loss to a 5 seed, second round losses as 8 seeds. Again, wasn’t fired.
Cal was still running off of four final4s, two title appearances, and 1 title. That bought him a lot of runway to have some bad seasons before things really went south.
Scheyer is still young, so hes got a lot of time to learn. But Cal took these same types of classes, with out any help with the transfer portal, and was able to get big tournament success early in his time at UK. Scheyer didn't. And he also didn't despite having a TON of officiating help. One can certainly question "What coaches would have done better with what Scheyer was given?".. and I think that answer is: a lot of them.
Umm, fix this. Nike is recruiting their *** of for Duke.
Of course a coach at KY survives that.
Our current coach is still here after losing 26 games over two seasons, many blowouts.
Finished 5th in the SEC last year and 9th this year.
If a coach can survive that surely they can survive winning conf championships and making the elite 8 and FF.

They may have choked but dude is still killing it for a guy with no experience as a HC prior to taking over Duke. They're getting every recruit they want. Deep runs in the tournament with a final four last year (something we haven't done since 2015) and great regular seasons. He's going to win multiple championships before he's done. They'll be a favorite to make the final four next year. No way in hell that dudes seat would be hot, it'd be ice to me. Also it took probably the most boneheaded decision I've ever seen to keep them outta the final four this year. Have said all that phuck Duke, their fans, their coaches, K, Wojo and Laettner.
