The coaching of Jon Scheyer

It still burns me inside that we lost the other day. Keep playing those last few possessions in my head over and over again. 😢

Sampson been coaching nearly 40 years and he finally is getting his chance tonight. Izzo been there many times in 40 years and only won once. Although Geno Auriemma has won a bunch of championships, until yesterday he hasn't won one in 10 years. He said something to the fact that he wasn't sure if he made the right decision to keep coaching.

Point being is that we're going to feel the pain of the other night many more times in our hopefully very long lifetime. I'm sure it's hurt Jon more than anything that he's gone through. Hopefully he learns from this and continues to learn.

i agree with all of this. In the last few minutes of the game there was a string of several bad things that happened, all of which went in favor of Houston. In thinking back on it, if any one of those things had gone our way, we would have won and there would be a different tone to our discussions.

Jon had accolades and praise all week. He can take a little criticism about what happened. He is in the big chair making the big money. You blow a 9 point lead in 2 minutes there are going to be questions. Jon will learn from this. But I agree it is staggering how the press turned on us. But to be fair it was a very public and dramatic meltdown. I still think we had a great year, but that was a painful end. The year UNLV boat raced us in the finals was painful as well, but we won it the next year. The difference is we had 4 starters back. Jon's job now is to keep the team from scattering to the 4 winds, besides the obvious NBA departures.

I'm sure Scheyer would have liked Proctor to pass the ball to Flagg . I believe Flagg would have scored or if he was fouled would have made the free throws. Scheyer was upset for the defense giving up the three pointers they were giving up too much space

I know Duke will lose the 3 lottery freshman and all the players without eligibility left. I really hope they are able to bring back everyone else (Brown, Proctor, Foster, Big Pat, Evans and Harris). Add the 4 in coming Freshman that would be a very good/great 10 players. That would leave maybe 1 or 2 transfers of need (depth big and guard). That would be perfect case scenario.

The players got tight is what it boils down to. Only thing I fault Scheyer on is running same inbounds play with Sion. This loss is on the players they were in a position to win and couldn't finish. Sion and Tyrese committed awful turnovers and don't keep the ball to get fouled and fold at the line. Scheyer coached a good game and can't be on the court to make the play.

If that's our starting lineup we'll have a very good chance of getting back to the Final Four. I'm kind of operating under an assumption that Proctor and Evans are going to enter the draft but so hoping they come back. If Henderson is ready that would be fantastic considering he has great size and is a good rebounder. I think our problems with defensive rebounding would be solved. And while I love Maluach and see tremendous potential, I think Ngongba next year can be better than Maluach this year. I also wouldn't mind seeing us add a fourth big, unless Kamenia is further ahead than I realize. Given Ngongba and Brown's injury history and propensity for foul trouble, having another big would be nice instead of moving Cam to the 5.

I’ve been reading all the negative posts about Jon on several different sites. It’s amazing how opinions can change in only a few days. He goes from being the perfect choice for the job to he wasn’t ready for the job. I still think he’s going to win several championships in his career. He values defense and seems to relate really well to this generation of players. I think he’s using a lot of K’s philosophies and is slowly adding his own. He played some zone in several games this season to disrupt the offensive flow of our opponents. I can’t count the number of times I wanted Coach K to switch things up. We know he knows how to construct a team. I think he has a winning formula now, it’s going to be interesting to see how next year’s team is constructed. I know we’re all down after the way we lost the game, but I trust that Jon will learn from this and he won’t let it happen again. I still think we’re lucky to have him as our coach.

With the coaching carousel, it's great to know we have one that 100% bleeds Duke basketball! I would like to have seen him change it up when we couldnt score to at least disrupt UH's defense and give them something else to think about...even for a possession or two....Evans, Pat with Malauch and Flagg go big...just something. I think it would have also given the rotation rest to be fresh for the frantic last few mins...although no one predicted those. JS proved he can get teams to buy into defending so lets hope next years team does too....just need it for one more game next year!

The sport has changed dramatically, it will never be the same. I’m in my early 50’s, I do not believe that Duke will win a title in my lifetime. Not until the entire model in Durham shifts from gangly teens to portal men. I absolutely believe that and the jury is out on whether Scheyer can deliver one anyhow. So we have a title game tonight featuring a guy who somehow dodged serious accusations by a number of women for sexual harassment and stalking. And another who has a very sketchy history himself with the NCAA. How lovely. 🙄

Senior guards....both teams have them in the final...they've been through game scenarios 1000x and are calm and ready to execute...same for interior....grown men around the rim are more effective than kids coming out of high school no matter how talented. I'd like to think that we can get one more National title in my lifetime...or before my interest wanes to zero thanks to the NIL/transfer rules in College sports....I was hoping this year was it since this group was locked in and had chemistry, didn't work out unfortunately...but it's increasingly difficult under these rules and our recruiting strategy to win it all.
