Coach K Retiring after 2021-22 season
- Thread starter DSMCy
- Start date
I’m no fan of Roy Williams, but at least he had the courtesy to retire AFTER the season instead of taking a narcissistic victory lap.
John scheyer is really in a now win situation. If he succeeds, that’s what he is supposed to do. If he is average, he is doing horrible. Never follow a legend
I think he "retired" before this just completed season...he wanted to cancel it from day 1.
He wanted to cancel it after it was certain that his team wasn't to the level Duke usually plays at. Similar Irony to when he goes on leaves for his health when his teams are struggling mid-season...
Right. Roy is done, K is doing a farewell tour because it is, after all, all about him.
I imagine both he and Roy saw the writing on the wall with the NIL changes and growing professional options for kids right out of high school. They already had to adapt to the one-and-done changes, I imagine they didn't want to have to do it again.
The Media is going to have an orgasm like every night during the season following this. Woof.
Man, the day Brad Stevens becomes Celtics Prez.
If I was Duke, I'd try and poach Snyder from the Jazz.

Coach K will be 75 by the time the season ends next spring. He makes anywhere from 7 to 10 million a year, depending on bonuses, and has for quite a while. He has won numerous conference and national championships at Duke, has had dozens of All American players come out of his program. After all of that, maybe the man is just burnt out on coaching kids that only want to use the program for a year, to advance their name and likeness and then go off to the NBA. Or maybe he just wants to spend time with his wife, kids and grandkids, and kick back, travel and not worry about whether some 18 year old HS kid is going to sign with you or some other team.
Retire and enjoy life, because before you never know how many more good healthy years you have left at 75.

Are they full roster for next season? This might draw any remaining uncommitted to come play the last season of coach K.
