Mavericks pursuing Jon Scheyer and Dusty May

As long as the Mavs stay clear of Billy Donovan. 
This happens all the time in the NBA. they will settle for a washed-up has-been NBA coach with 1000 losses. It always happens. Recycle Rinse and Repeat.
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 can't see Scheyer every leaving Duke. They will have to fire him for him to leave.
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.
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
Don’t see Sheyer as anything but a college coach. May could be another story.
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.
Yrah those guys last night looked like they don't give a ****. I swear we have the dumbest fans in the world
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
F Billy Donovan. He has turned us down so many times I can't believe anyone wants to fo that route again. Might as well tape a kick me sign to your rumpAs long as the Mavs stay clear of Billy Donovan.
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.
Thats bull**** and you know it lol
We need scheyer to stay at Duke. Any coach actually good would've already won a few titles already.
Disagree. Scheyer is an outstanding coach. If he were to stay at Duke for the same timeframe as K did, I won’t be surprised if he winds up with 3-5 titles. He’s a great in-game coach, excellent recruiter, and a wonderful motivator and is great at assembling rosters. I hate Duke but anyone saying Scheyer isn’t a good coach is probably saying so because that’s what they want to believe.
Winning titles is extremely difficult and he’s only been at Duke for four seasons and already has a Final Four and an all-time game winner was needed to keep him from a second one.
I think we want Scheyer at Duke for as long as possible. Hes their weak link IMO.
NBA is a better gig.
Coaches just have to coach.
They don’t recruit. They don’t have to schmooze donors.
They don’t have to win hearts and minds of fans.
They answer to one mega billionaire owner who most likely doesn’t give a F&@k because he’s so rich. Even the owners who are more hands on, that’s more of the GM’s problem.

and if you are terrible its ok because you get a high draft pick in the lottery (at least you used too). and even newbie coaches make a boat load. jj redick, who i think is an average coach with just 2 years coaching makes 9 million a year. plus probably a bunch of other stuff.
I don’t know. If he keeps knocking on the door then he will eventually break through it. We need their recruiting to fall off bad.
