Coach K to Hang ‘Em Up After This Seask
Not sure how I hit save but here we are.
Anouncing it now is at least fair to his recruits. Calhoun certainly didn't give his that courtesy.
Sorry OP. Imagine if we had one of them new-fangled websites with one of those edit thingies I've heard tell about. Word has it that with one of them edit thingies users can go back and CHANGE WHAT THEY FIRST WROTE!!!!
I mean can you even conjure up such digital sorcery? That would be like electronic white-out or something.
Seask is one of them new-fangled words from the Urban Dictionary, isn't it?
Seask is a misspelling of seasick. Which is the feeling one gets if they think about Duke basketball too much.
NSW - not safe for work. I made the mistake of googling "seask" and was sent to HR.
I would settle for a site that doesn’t crash as often
Jon scheyer will be fired inside 4 years
It's gonna be a long offseask.
Good riddance.
Good riddeance!
Good riddeculounce
My best coach K memory will always be the NCAA final against Maryland, where, as usual, his team was getting all the calls (just as they had in the semi-finals against AZ), and the crowd actually started booing violently. Then, intolerable suited and mic'd cretin Billy Packer actually called it out, and said the crowd was booing based on the perception that Duke always get the calls their way. That is K's legacy in my mind. A crowd having their final four spectatorship ruined by Duke's faux M.O. of somehow being the cleaner, harder-working team.
Not shocked by this move. I think it's the right time for him to move on.
Yeah, before the NCAA starts caring about cheating. Maybe Calipari and Wade will take a hint.
There are three givens in life: death, taxes and the NCAA not giving a shit about cheating.
wasn't it recently proven by our former president that taxes are no longer a given? Provided you have enough money in your bank account
I hope he misses the tourney again in his last season.
He'll be 75. I did not know he was that old.
Lots of good hair dye. Much better than Rudy's.
Rats are surprisingly resilient
It would be nice to see JH give him a nice going-away present in March.
Jim Harbaugh coaches football, silly.
James Harden doesn't even coach!
....nor can he be.
Maybe now Izzo can remove that "PWNED BY DOOK" tat off his ass.
He’s headed out the door before too long, too.
That's what we kept saying about Dantanio's corpse.
The image of Izzo looking at his bare ass in a mirror with that emblazoned on it made me laugh.....
hopefully they make the tourny and have to play Michigan so Juwan can win get some revenge on coach K
Krinklezeffskis agent: “Mike. This Zion shit aint goin away. My advice to you is we wait a couple of weeks and then announce that youre retiring at the end of next season. Meanwhile, I’ll put out some feelers to the NBA.”
I hate how these cheaters always skate.
Silly you, pretending the NCAA is going to do anything about it. It's cute!
You know how such a thing ends, right? Any allegations which may come to light at Duke mean that Tulane or a similar school is going to get all but erased from the face of the planet. The wheels of NCAA justice grind slowly, rather roughly and usually in a place other than where they should grind.
Dude is not going to take an NBA coaching gig at 74.
In a way, it’s a shame. Last few years, Duke seems to have fallen from its long-standing perch. I wouldn’t have minded watching Coach K scuffle for a few more years.
they've been really good except for the 2020 season lol
Last season notwithstanding, they've usually still been very good year in and out, but they seem to have not been the same program the last 6-7 years that they once were. Not that they got worse necessarily. They were just different.
It seems like in that time there was a shift to going after more of the one and done type of guys vs. the guys who would stick around in Coach K's system for a couple of years and gel. I can't say that it was a good or a bad idea, but it didn't net him any titles or Final Fours. In fact, during the 2018-19 season with that "Greatest Duke team ever assembled" lineup with Zion, RJ Barrett, Cam Reddish and a few others, they barely even made it out of the first weekend of the tournament. They arguably had no business making it out, and UCF probably should've beaten them.
Jay Bilas takes over in a Herm Edwards-like CEO role, with 14 former Duke players as bench assistants.
The best part of this whole situation? Chris Collins is in no position to take over the Duke coaching legacy.
IMO, he's one of the most egregious self-aggrandizing windbags in all of college basketball. Add that he' a cheater only makes him a worse person.
Nothing to add here ... also, user name checks out obliquely.
You forgot "hypocritical, foul-mouthed, and whiny" too.
Lol at Duke getting Jon Scheyer as the replacement.
I have a John Scheyer story! Not much of one, but as a fellow north-Chicago-burbs kid his age I kicked his ass once in a lacrosse faceoff during our senior years.

Nice! Boo GBN
Not that I have any real connection to Chicago area schools as a transplant, but I live about 25 minutes from there and my daughter attends a different, non-rival HS.
As a try-hard-but-not-that-talented kid, that's about the only real action I got as a Senior FOGO. I was our 3rd faceoff guy - probably our best at faceoffs, but definitely the worst of the 3 at lacrosse (I think the other 2 walked on when they got to college. I did not). GBN was one of the better teams around, the game was tight in the 3rd Q and we had lost a couple of faceoffs in a row, so I was shocked when our coach yelled for me in a close game - I was a mopup duty senior. I walked out to the dot on our next faceoff and looked up at Schyer, obviously a superior athlete. But he was 6'6" and I'm 5'11". In a lacrosse faceoff low man wins. I drove him back a couple of feet, not worried about possession - again I wasn't that good at lacrosse, so I'd let one of the wings grab it. We got possession, I ran off the field for a sub and waited till the next faceoff opportunity. When GBN changed faceoff guys, so did we. One of our better lacrosse players went back out, and thus ended my playing time in a competitive game.
My wife has already asked how many times she'll hear "I beat that guy in a lacrosse faceoff" for the next 30 years...
Nothing wrong with preaching that from the hilltops!
I'm tall but not particularly athletic, so everyone around me has to hear about the one time I blocked Michigan's Mr. Basketball in high-school intramural volleyball.
My other brushes with greatness are less successful. Phil Kessel scored on me on a penalty shot. In athletes playing other sports like the above, I once tried to guard Mike Massey in a basketball game in the IM Building (or CCRB?). I was our 3rd biggest guy. He was theirs. He was much bigger than me. It did not go well.
Good. Can’t stand that rat faced bastard.
