Still funny to me that Scheyer is put into this coaching atmosphere. He has had the level of talent equivalent to what cal had his first 5-6 years and sh** away two titles these last two years. And doing so with historically bad collapses to close games.
He is ***. He is just getting the special recruiting help from Shiteshefski, Nike, USA basketball, etc.

I also don’t think Sheyer will ever leave Duke, he was appointed coach by Splinter, he’s not going anywhere. NBA veterans are NOT going to listen to a baby faced kid who coaches at Duke, they just won’t. As for May, he might make it in the NBA but he’s got a baby face too. It’s a slippery slope for young college coaches to make it very long, although some have.

I don't see Dukes coach leaving. Not until he at least wins his alma mater a championship. Michigans coach could very well take off like flash to the NBA.

Agree, cant see Scheyer killing it in the NBA. Personally can see May way before Scheyer. Not many guys have had success going college to pro. Totally different animal.

Why ******* go to the nba? Leave a good thing you know your good at to coach guys who don’t give a **** and can be gone by tmrw
because to most in the actual profession.....NBA is the dream, not college. Dusty can go spend 10 years in the pros coaching for 3 different teams. and can still fall back to a great coaching job in college. college is the backup plan.

To be honest...I'm not seeing much difference between college and the NBA now days. Sucks because the NBA is boring to me. And obviously the passion for college sports is being sucked out. It clearly isn't the same when it comes to Kentucky Basketball and I'm not just talking about Pope and the last couple seasons

Sheyer will be another rat face, and be at Duke until he wants to leave.

Damn
If Pope could get that talent, $9 would come soon after.

No it wouldn’t. Pope is not a good coach. And his teams don’t compete. Give him Duke’s roster and he will win 63% of the games.

We need scheyer to stay at Duke. Any coach actually good would've already won a few titles already.
