It will be great when Duke starts K's final season 0-1 ... after we beat them in the Champions Classic.
Coach K retiring
- Thread starter RoyKent

K retiring?
This is a nice birthday news present lol.
Also, I have no idea whether or not they like Stevens but good lord if they can't do better than Scheyer hahaha

Since his team doesn't project to be a title contender right now, the refs will hose UK in our early season game as a consolation prize. We have zero shot of winning that game unless we shoot 75%.
Well we can't watch any basketball next season because it will be unbearable. We're talking about a sob-fest of staggering proportions. Imagine Mike Patrick all oiled up in salve being sacrificed by having his tear ducts carved out with Dick Vitale's collarbone. The misery awaiting college basketball is immeasurable and I will not watch ESPN for a full year henceforth.
You know he will, Cal is a true politician under that hair dye and Armani suits
Natty already being gift wrapped. It is a sure thing, just as it was with Wooden.
Jon Scheyer may be a good or great hire for Duke. But he will not wield the power that Coach K does over NCAA policy and direction, and over amateur basketball in general.
End of an era. Say what you will of Coach K he was one of the great ones and was great for college basketball.
Like Wooden, if MK were to make the championship game ...nobody is beating them!
Being a president of an NBA team is a far better gig. I can't imagine anyone being excited about coaching in college right now if they have NBA options.
K to Pasture
Brad to Duke (IU fans jumping off nearest bridge)
Cal to Boston
OA takes over UK.

Yeah a cheating POS who covered up rapes. Good riddance.
I'm sure the Brad Stevens move is shocking to some here. But it tells some of us exactly what we knew: The NBA is still the top gig, it's desirable, and trying to keep up with the rat race in the college game isn't all it's cracked up to be. Give me NBA rosters that may have primadonnas but less turnover, any day of the week.
When Kobe was on his farewell tour it was so nauseating. I mean, my God, we get it. MLB did the same **** with Derek Jeter.
This may even be worse.
What happens when you are a one-trick pony and the pony dies?
The nerds of Cameron are about to find out. And the lesson will last decades.

As a guy who hates the NBA and finds it so incredibly boring, I’d take it over constantly recruiting 18 year old primadonnas and their handlers and losing your roster every year.
Well, 1-for-4 ain't terrible I guess, but the one was already publicly announced.
How hilarious would it be if his final season at Duke, and doesn't make the NCAAT??!! 
I know....I know.....not happening. But that would be glorious!!!

Of course he would announce at the beginning of the season so he can get the fanfare and farewell tour. What a scrot.
Scheyer's got this, don't think he doesn't. It'll be like K never left.
At least the organization can’t gift players a title usually. I wish it was illegal for a coach to announce his retirement ahead of a season.
Yep. I have zero doubt that’s coming. UCLA was a one-trick pony and they have one title in 45 years (zero in 26 years).
I wonder what was the final straw? OAD killing his program, the transfer portal or Zion's freshmen year bank account.
Isn’t it a huge distraction all year? Takes the eyes off the team and placed directly on you. Announce it at the end of the season and be gone .
Much as I dislike Roy Williams, he did it the right way. No need for a farewell tour.
I just don't get the animosity for K getting a farewell tour? The range of allowable behaviors, according to many on this board, for anyone not associated with UK is incredibly narrow. Do you all judge people constantly like this in your personal life?
Because of course K needs a sunset tour. Why can't he just lock the door behind him and move his coffin to the villages like any normal vampire would?
