I don't know, it's not like they lost to a team that wasn't great. Also, Zags have great recruiting classes lined up. 22 hours ago, China said: Sports World Reacts To Charles Barkley’s Final Four Performance Barkley was mostly praised for his performance analyzing the Final Four on Saturday night, though he did have one confusing segment. The former NBA star went on about the “Jims and the Joes,” which seemed to confuse some people. “The difference between Baylor, Gonzaga and all these other teams: Houston’s got some Joes,” Barkley explained during Saturday’s halftime show. “These other two guys got Jims and Joes. And that’s what will win games. A lot of teams got Jims. A lot of teams got some Joes. Baylor, Gonzaga they’re the only two teams in the tournament that got Jims and Joes.” Click on the link for more So did it turn out that this is the language that Coach Drew from Baylor uses? Did I hear that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdcskins Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Lol that Jims and Joes rant confused me too. I love Charles but that was the opposite of brilliant analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Wiggles Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I understood what Barkley was trying to say. He butchered the quote tho and then made it worse by rambling on about Jims n Joes. Classic Chuck. 😆 The original quote is.... Quote "It's not the X's and the O's but the Jimmys and the Joes." No clue who originally said it tho. Google seems to attribute it to numerous coaches.

Yeah, it sounds like they’ll be getting Chet Holmgren next year. Timme may end up staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Reports: Duke's Mike Krzyzewski to retire after upcoming college basketball season Mike Krzyzewski’s legendary coaching career is reportedly nearing its end. According to multiple reports, the longtime Duke men’s basketball coach will retire following the 2021-22 season. Jeff Goodman of Stadium was the first to report the news. The 74-year-old Krzyzewski, known to most as "Coach K," has been the head coach of the Blue Devils since 1980. Along the way, Krzyzewski has coached Duke to five national championships, 12 Final Four appearances, 15 ACC tournament titles and 12 ACC regular season championships.

Ball Security Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Who’s going to replace Coach K? Brad Stevens? Someone in house like Sheyer? A return of someone from his coaching tree like Wojo or Dawkins? Alumni outside of his tree like Hurley? Unknown from the Service Academies? None of the above.

PleaseBlitz Posted June 2, 2021 Author Share Posted June 2, 2021 I doubt it would be Brad Stevens, he just took a front office job, and I suspect Coach K would have given him a heads up. My money is on Capel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I'd be annoyed about there being 20 Duke games on National TV or the media constantly jocking Coach K, but that already happens every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry.Randolphe Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I don't think playing for Jon Scheyer is really going to motivate the recruits to come to Duke after next season....should be an interesting transition period for Duke now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will all still be true so long as Scheyer (or whoever they pick) can actually coach. ESPN has a HUGE interest in keeping Duke relevant. That said, I hope whoever takes the reigns crashes and burns so I don't have to hear about Duke during ****ing Big 12 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drowland Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 I wonder if Duke will look at Quin Snyder. He started real well at Missouri before getting hit with NCAA violations and ultimately resigning and taking shots at the AD. He's carved out a nice place for himself in the NBA though. Mike Brey's been the most successful former assistant/player K's had but he's likely too old at this point. Duke will probably look for someone younger. Wouldn't be surprised if it's Jon Scheyer.

Looks like Nate James left a season too soon. He was the associate head coach and left for Austin Peay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
