Who Would Be The Heir ?

[CharlestonDave]

A friend of mine who knows that I am a big Duke fan asked me the following question :

If Coach K decided to step down who would be his successor , Capel, Wojo, Dawkins, Amaker , Collins or someone else?

I told him I would post his question on a Duke Basketball Board as its members are much more knowledgable than I am on a subject like this.

I would say that Capel has the inside track- but at the rate K is going- he may be coaching another 5 or more years.

As a world class medical center, I am 100% sure that Duke has a multitude of Klones ready, should the original need to be decommissioned. It has been debated that this top secret initiative began in the wake of the 1995 season.

Please come to the Miami game, and bring friends and family, and we can debate the future of Duke Basketball while watching the present and future of Duke Football.

[budwom]

yes, think football. Unless we want another 30 page thread of rampant speculation. No one knows. K is here now, when he wants to go he and Kevin White will sit down
and figure things out.

I think they prefer to be called fairies

Of course it already began. How else do you explain the lack of grey heirs? ;)

Yeah, this pretty much says it all.

Or maybe heteronymphs.

... not something I am going to think about...

[Mike Corey]

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

As to the OP, Coach has a lifetime contract. We're stuck with him for another 30 years.

[OldPhiKap]

Or maybe heteronymphs.

If I am crazy about them, does that make me a . . . well, never mind.

Old, old, old joke in the same vein: What do a bald man, a drowning man, a bachelor, and a gorilla have in common?
One has no hair apparent, one has no air apparent, one has no heir apparent, and one has a hairy parent.:rolleyes:

K is going to hang it up in 2020 - this is the start of the 5 season countdown.

In 2020, he'll step down with 7 National Titles and take over Jerry Colangelo's chairman role at USA Basketball.

Jeff Capel, his recruiting dynamo and right hand man for 3 late career titles and 8 consecutive #1-#2 ranked recruiting classes, will slide one chair over.

[NSDukeFan]

Pretty sure Popovich has next.

Hey, I'm not as dumb as I look. That's the waffle bunny...

Be careful with them speedos. If you want to impress chicks on the beach, you have to remember to put the potato in the front.

As to the heir apparent, it's gotta be me. I sent in my resume in 1981 (I was sending out a lot of resumes back then), and I figure they'll just take the first guy who applied.

Oh THANKS!!!!! I had forgotten all about the pancake bunny! Love him to pieces. Never die, pancake bunny! Never die!

Only 2 titles in the next 5 seasons?! K might indeed retire in 2020 out of shame for only getting 2 titles after 5 years of Thornton-Jackson-Allen-Kennard-Trent-Ingram-Tatum-Giles-Jeter-Carter-Bamba.

I don't think Jeff Capel has come close to showing that he should be the next head coach at Duke.

As far as recruiting goes we have no way of knowing how good recruiting would have gone during the last few years had he not been at Duke. I'm confident that Coach Krzyzewski and Duke University/Duke Basketball has been the main draw for recruits over that time span, not Jeff Capel.

Second, Capel's coaching career has been spotty. He did fairly well record-wise at VCU, but their strength of schedule was below average and VCU plays in a relatively weak conference. So that really doesn't prove very much. At Oklahoma his teams did well for two years with Blake Griffin dominating play, and very poorly his final two seasons after Griffith left school early. That is not the resume of the coach who would replace Coach K at Duke.

My dream coach is Brad Stevens. I think he and Duke University would be the perfect match.

It took 17 hours this time... we're slipping.

Geez, you can take a razor and slip it down this thread to determine long-time posters from noobz.

I thought everyone knew there was an existing back room deal and handshake that Calipari would leave whatever job he has to step in to his true dream job at the drop of a hat. I can't imagine that has changed. Just consider how well he could recruit at a school like Duke.

[OldPhiKap]

I am hoping that Ozzie gets it. That is, of course, if he can handle football and basketball at the same time.

At least he didn't say Hitler ...

He would have so many recruits that he could field 3 or 4 complete teams!;)

[Jarhead]

I haven't decided yet. That'll come along as soon as K lets us know, in five or more years.

[devildeac]

Ozzie will be able to handle FB and MBB at the same time, along with WBB, MS, WS, VB and all other Duke sports (no slight intended) because he's polishing up his credentials for yet another application for the AD position when Kevin White retires in 15-20 years;).

[Indoor66]

I am sending K a letter requesting that he provide at least 30 months notice of his intent to retire.

This will permit this Board to properly analyze the situation; consider all alternaive possibilities; properly apply all advanced analytic analysis; and render a vetted opinion that Kevin White and his colleagues will find irresistible or irrelevant.

Which will it be?

Perhaps by then Ken Pomeroy will have a coaching efficiency rating system so we can have tempo-free data to inform our choice.

So I take it all the hard work and brilliant insight up to this point has just been a warm up?

Obviously it will be entered into the data base for the analytical analysis. Not lost, just a data point.

[BD80]

What does Crystal Ball say on the matter?

[OldPhiKap]

KenPom favors Capel, but I think that's just recently bias.
