July 1, 200421 yr Wow.. Latest i have been hearin was Rudy Tomjanivich... I am surprised :o :plain Atleast im not a lakers fan :mischief
July 1, 200421 yr Author Wow.. Latest i have been hearin was Rudy Tomjanivich... I am surprised :o :plain Atleast im not a lakers fan :mischief 435109[/snapback] He is the leader for the job but if the interview goes well with the Lakers you never know. If I am the Lakers I would get Rudy T, No Brainer.
July 1, 200421 yr Wow! I thought Duke was going to be bad enough next season. As a sports fan, I'd love to see this happen.
July 1, 200421 yr Wow, I didn't even think about that one. Coach K is like Rick Pitino and Steve Spurrier, he needs to stay in college.
July 1, 200421 yr NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! He won't go. Why would he even think about going? The early departures of Deng and Livingston must really be taking a toll on him. That has to be it because from his comments in the past, you would think this would be the last thing he'd want to do. I don't think he'll go in the end. I have complete confidence in Johnny Dawkins, though, if Coach K surprises me and takes off...

July 1, 200421 yr NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! He won't go.? Why would he even think about going?? The early departures of Deng and Livingston must really be taking a toll on him.? That has to be it because from his comments in the past, you would think this would be the last thing he'd want to do.? I don't think he'll go in the end. I have complete confidence in Johnny Dawkins, though, if Coach K surprises me and takes off... 435118[/snapback] I am sure Tommy Amaker would get the nod over Dawkins. Heck maybe even Snyder. 435119[/snapback] I disagree. Those guys are with different programs now. They've been grooming Dawkins as the next HC for years, and the promise of coaching at Duke is probably the only reason he hasn't bolted thus far. Not to mention that Dawkins is familiar with the current players and the current recruits.
July 1, 200421 yr i heard about this on my basketball/spurs board...... its interesting...i think its just the lakers wanting a big name.... coach K i am convinced would be a mediocore NBA coach.
July 1, 200421 yr NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! He won't go. Why would he even think about going? 435118[/snapback] Have you looked at Duke's roster for next year? Coaching the Lakers is a once in a lifetime opportunity, even if they'll suck.
July 1, 200421 yr Have you looked at Duke's roster for next year? Coaching the Lakers is a once in a lifetime opportunity, even if they'll suck. 435128[/snapback] Duke should still contend for the ACC title, at the very least.

July 1, 200421 yr coach K i am convinced would be a mediocore NBA coach. 435127[/snapback] I agree. He will fall into the same path as (as DetroitWhat22 pointed out) Pitino and Spurrier....and Dennis Erickson.
July 1, 200421 yr coach K doenst have to deal with the egos or the 'bad apples' at duke. he will in the NBA.
July 1, 200421 yr and he consistently gets the top talent molded around his style of coaching. Professional sports are different.

Coaching the Lakers is a once in a lifetime opportunity, even if they'll suck. 435128[/snapback] Ya I guess being in the Top 25 sucks. :plain 435137[/snapback] But for Duke being ranked around 20 or so is mediocre, eh?
July 1, 200421 yr even some of my friends up at Furman (these friends being from North Carolina...mainly Charlotte area) who are big Duke fans think this season will be an off-season. We all saw what happened that season Coach K was out....they blew. It'll happen again if he leaves.

Coaching the Lakers is a once in a lifetime opportunity, even if they'll suck. 435128[/snapback] I'm all for it, Rudy T. does not get me excited. Lakers in 2004/2005!

July 2, 200421 yr I think that the Lakers just want to make sure that they have one big name on there roster and maybe Coach K is that name.

Coaching the Lakers is a once in a lifetime opportunity, even if they'll suck. 435128[/snapback] Duke should still contend for the ACC title, at the very least. 435130[/snapback] It will be easier to make the Final Four than win the ACC next season. You can bet on that. The last time Duke was predicted to have a down year, K took the year off with a back injury now... without Deng and Livingston he's going to the Lakers? I'd hate to see what he'd do if he only had 5 McDonald All-Americans on the team. :lol
