SlapHands69 Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miami15 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Wow! I thought Duke was going to be bad enough next season. As a sports fan, I'd love to see this happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Wow, I didn't even think about that one. Coach K is like Rick Pitino and Steve Spurrier, he needs to stay in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabdul Doobakus Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mabdul Doobakus Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Texan Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 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.

miami15 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!! He won't go.

g8trz2003 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g8trz2003 Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bman8316 Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 First Deng and Livingston, now Coach K?? Oh, this is too good to be true..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
