Edit:
OH... Jeff Capel Sr.

Mods can you change or delete this thread?

Obviously this is after the lockout ends but apparently Capel has agreed to be an assistant in Philly.

Good for Jeff, Sr.

Now all he needs is a season.
The strike/lockout situation looks bleak at the moment.

There's another thread for this, but this appears to be Jeff Capel, Sr., our Jeff Capel's dad.

The Capels and Collins' are all together! Jeff Capel II (he's not a "senior" as his dad was "Jeff Capel Sr.") with Doug Collins at the 76ers (assuming the NBA starts again at some point) and their sons, Jeff Capel III and Chris Collins, at Duke.

Thanks for the correction on II and III.

Sounds like there was some serious networking going on over the weekend as Duke parents/ NBA types were in town for the games.

Yet another benefit to tout for potential recruits?
Come to Duke and you'll be plugged in to a very strong NBA circle.

Well, not ALL together. Jason Capel is the head coach at Appalachian State.
