Message: [QUOTE="Zelda Zonk, post: 3611129, member: 966"] I noted it, but it wasn't a "complaint." It was a realistic 'bullet point' that surely has to be in the notes of any potential recruit. It's a valid question for any kid who considers coming here, and because there's no answer, it's a negative. Whether or not the first one fell through is somewhat irrelevant. Hop's situation was pretty special, JB having a kid 'come of age' was unique, and the cookie happened to crumble that way. And the older JB gets, the more realistic it is to expect him to retire. I don't think it's as important for other schools with 'old' coaches, unless they've also already announced and then rescinded a retirement plan. If Coach K had indicated his retirement was imminent, and then changed his mind, sure, Duke recruits would have to wonder about him, too. [/QUOTE]
