Coach K Retiring

[Cusefan0307]

Omg a coach K farewell tour will be the most insufferable season ever!

Just thinking about the "Farewell Tours" of pro athletes - even if they are hated by rival fans, they are also respected. I'm not sure if the reception at opposing arenas for Coach K on a Farewell tour would be too positive, if he's going to get gifts or a video or whatever.

This is why I don't think he'll have a Farewell Tour. While part of his ego may want his ring kissed as he goes out the door, a bigger part doesn't want to be booed.

Oh god ESPN is only going to be more insufferable.

I don’t see the Coach K situation any different than any other high impact person. I think sometimes the time picks you.
None of us know his true health situation, poor, or declining Heath could be the reason K leaves earlier than perhaps any of us thought.
In short, a guy whom has accomplished as much as K has doesn’t walk away before his time, or at a minimum picks his time.
One only has to look at JAB for the proof.

Yeah...smoke fire

Boom goes the Dynamite. Brad Stevens?
Does JB try to pass K or go out in the same season?

JB needs to pass K, as long as he feels healthy enough to carry on.

Let’s see how many clown Duke fans there are in upstate NY in 5 years now

If this is Buddy's last year, I don't think JB goes out at the same time as both his sons. If Buddy plans to take the 5th year, I could see both JB/BB riding off together in 2023.

1.Looks like Celtics had to promote Stevens to run basketball operations replace Ainge or lose him to Duke? Curious timing.
2. Looks like Roy and K both know the NBA is destroying college hoops and what's left will be destroyed by allowing boosters to openly control the sport by legally paying recruits/players. Boosters will call all the shots not the coaches.

won’t be Scheyer. No head coaching experience.

It is interesting that Stevens just moved into a admin role with the Celtics. Could be a nice way to get back into coaching after a year off.

He's going to PBO, no? I mean, IU offered him the world and he passed. I don't think he wants to deal with recruiting and now he gets to be head of ops for one of the most storied NBA teams with two all stars under 25.

I wonder if the AD at Pitt is a nervous guy at this moment !

 

[Cusefan0307]

If you follow the NBA you know the word is Stevens is sick of coaching and doesn't want anything to do with college anymore. I guess we will see if that’s true, but he wouldn't take 8 million from Indiana.

 

[MikeSU02]

JB has frustrated me to all get out lately, but holy cow if he lands a stellar 2022 class, the thought of sticking around to try to catch K has to at least be in play, right?

 

[Cusefan0307]

All but secures the fact that our future HC will be an alum.

Hello,
May I speak to Coach Capel

Brad Stevens is taking over as a Celtics executive so doubtful

 

[orangefog]

Makes sense, he knows the recruiting $y$tem.

Isn't Capel an awful in game coach though? Think Duke lucked out by him leaving first.
