Really good episode, Coach was loose. They talked a lot about the NBA and Jon said that he has particular affinity for guys like KD and Steph because they were in his high school class. We know Coach is young, but it is just a reminder of how young, and how the destiny of a Joe Ingles finger to the eye gave him the chance to succeed K. Do I think he'd trade being the Duke HC to have gotten to take his shot in the NBA as a player...yes I do. When we think about the younger generation of head coaches that succeeded K's generation, we talk about guys like Dan Hurley, Nate Oats, Tony Bennett, Scott Drew...these guys are 15-20 years older than Jon and have years more head coaching experience. Jon's already good, and is only going to age like a fine wine as long as the insanity of the current environment gets re-organized into something with more predictable roster construction and conference affiliation.
Anyway, there isn't a ton of new stuff here, but they are stressing defense, and he thinks the strength of the team is versatility. I was also happy to hear him plug Jabari as a recruit who was really important to Duke as it entered the final era of K's reign.
