Not a battle. I just like to ask questions about motivations and the why's of a situation to see where the persons thoughts are coming from. AU's are obviously coming out of his ass.
Jon Scheyer over Tommy Amaker..

As you are. All you have are your opinions. I dont pretend to know the motivation of people I have never met on decisions they make in their lives. And neither do you.
You have no idea how, what or why Duke decided on their coach. Neither do I. Just admit it.
@AuHoosier420 I just wanted to say thanks. That is all.
Do you feel there was any racial motivation in Scheyer over Amaker? Amaker just seemed more qualified, IDK. I’d have been interested to see what he could do having some HC experience, to see if Duke and his hiring would be symbiotic.
Sorry, completely forgot about Tubby. Duh. Stupid me.
Always liked him. Now he is down the road from me in High Point.
Not at all. What, Coach K doesn’t want a black guy as a coach? A guy who has spent forty years guiding young black men… who has had tons of black coaches, including his top assistant for like half his career… and a guy who seems pretty in touch with the current state of race in America? At a school which is, lets be frank, incredibly PC? No, there is not only zero evidence of race playing any part, Id say there is actually forty years of proof that race DIDNT play a part.
Is anyone really thinking this is a race thing? There is no way anyone legit believes that.
A trans African American woman. Although I’m still confused which one that is, if it is a man who is now a woman or a woman who is now a man.
Well, to be fair, you also had a different kind of AA on the bench at one point. Pretty sure Billy Clyde had some problems with the sauce.
Between your suggestions and Lurker's suggestions, I'm starting to doubt how sincerely you two care about Duke's future success.
Either coach scares absolutely no one. Duke made a terrible decision but as a Kentucky fan, I absolutely approve of the hire. Going to be nice watching Duke go the way of Indiana.
K was a pretty decent coach so I'd like to see Duke take it down a notch. Nothing personal, just sports.
With that said, this is a story.
HIring Scheyer was dumb for the same reason hiring Hubert was dumb. That doesn't mean it won't work out but it was a bad way to do business regardless.
And what Uconn did with Calhoun and Ollie (although Uconn did win a lucky title)
Power coaches like K, Roy & Calhoun-that's what they do...
K's handing Scheyer a better recruiting class than Roy gave Hubert.
No doubt. UNC's lineup is kind of a mess. But that doesn't change the point regarding hiring someone with no experience. Even if it works out long terms it is silly. If you want the job that bad go somewhere and learn how to do everything involved with the job, prove you can win, and then come home.
As a UNC fan, does it matter which one they hired as long as it's not another K clone?
Oh, I am happy they hired Scheyer. It isn't like he is some guaranteed star coach like they could have hired.
Stevens, Few, and Jay wright would have all had to say no first if I was the AD at duke. Then go to the next group. Scheyer nor amaker would have been in the top 10
