Coach Search Options after Autry

[phil77]

GMac best qualities as a coach is that he gets his team to play hard and unselfishly.

 

[Franz69]

That was the longest 5 minutes of my life

That's what my last girlfriend said.

DISCLAMER: THIS POST PERTAINS TO THE COACH SEARCH OPTIONS AFTER AUTRY

in all honesty that 1st half result, considering everything, is significant

I'm gonna have a lot of "catch up " reading to do later. Hair cut and shopping this morning. I have a bunch of people coming to my house on Sunday for a lacrosse game watch.
AZOrange CuseCactus message me if you are interested in joining us. 10 am Sunday. I'll have bagels and lox.

I admit it.

I bet the under.

Thank you for locking the thread. I have caught up! Didn't learn anything at all but hey!

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

I understand there are a myriad of reasons why the announcement is still pending. But at this point, this feels like the lead-up to getting a root canal. Let's just hurry up and get it over with.

You can’t announce a new HC who is still playing and under contract

 

[Briancuse]

Seriously guys. Is there even a question at all at this point!?

Yes it is.

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

Just heard we are getting a nice little NIL boost for basketball. All I can share at this time.

The Lally’s are white knighting? Hmmm!

 

[granthath9]

if Gerry beats Duke he deserves the job

 

[SUOrangeSU]

Ya no thanks. See so much JB offense, it’s scary

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

They have a much more successful alumni base that stays involved with their school for starters. I suspect there's a lot more to the just three guys that were named in the WSJ story too. There's a reason it's secret and I suspect there's a bunch more folks involved. I have to imagine they all own/run businesses where having Duke basketball players show up to internal events or dinners with clients is worth it too. You get 10 who are willing to give $1M a year or 20 at 500k a year and you get dinners with the coach, private things with players...probably half are in NYC/Silicon Valley and a smaller group in the NC area and it sells itself.

Honestly, the "exclusive" part is probably part of the intrigue.

Lots of ways do it. I've seen NYC bars do events with football players from SEC schools because of those alumni bases and collective relationships. I've never see a NYC event for our basketball team tied to promotional NIL stuff. Perhaps they're doing it behind the scenes but given it seems our NIL for basketball has been tied to just a few individuals and no noticeable marketing deals...I suspect not.

Duke was buying players before it was cool

Reason why it looks better because Gerry does an amazing job of getting his kids to play extremely hard and very unselfish.

 

[Cuseregular]

Come on man, Regardless, after this showing, he deserves it

LETS FACKING GO

My lack of faith in GMAC may have been misplaced

“May”?! The dude is doing something I didn’t even think could be done making this a game at all

 

[CuseIn282xx]

And the price goes up $1mm/yr. But hey, it's not MY money...

 

[FrozenWaves]

It seems the Doty kid can play a little bit...

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

That was the longest 5 minutes of my life

That’s what she said.

 

[Acesn8s]

I do not want Gerry to get hired, but this has been a heck of an effort from his guys. Tough only playing 5 guys though my god.

 

[JRHEETER]

Just remember what Malik Brown said at half "We thought this would be a cake walk"

So I think the argument can be made that it may have been more on Duke not be prepared.

I really dont love that he has not used a single sub.
