With all of Memphis' problems, How about getting Larry Brown to come over?
Scheyer staff

Hate if for Duke but happy for Nolan. Hopefully he and Kenny Payne can turn Lvile around.
Who? I didn't. But who is to say it wasn't a loss to the team's success? We didn't win any NCAA titles. And Duke had K as the HC when Capel left. Also had Scheyer on the bench.
If I had a dime for every time I've heard "Duke will be fine" from the fan base after which Duke would be knocked out early in the ACC and NCAA tourneys, I'd be rich. But in all seriousness, what does, "Duke will be fine" even mean? We will keep winning NCAA titles in the next few seasons, go to the FF 3 out of the next 5 years?
I hold out hope Scheyer will get a 20+ year run with Duke. Love him. And we will be competitive given the recruits the next couple of seasons. But I don't think there is any way to predict where Duke will wind up without K. The vast majority of the time a coach who follows an all-time great is unsuccessful. It is going to be a challenge for Jon for sure.
That's a possibility. Would he concede to Jon though? I mean, I feel like K had the power of veto based off of success and tenure. Would Wojo give Jon that?
That is the main question and truthfully only Wojo could answer that. But he would be such an asset to Jon as he starts out. In my opinion it would be an upgrade from Nolan as far as coaching. Nolan might relate more with the players though.
Speaking of assistant coaches, anyone noticed last night the UNC guy drawing up the final play for Hubert? Then take into account Larry Brown's doings on the bench. Makes me realize how critical this spot will be for us
I believe Hubert has ex UNC players that were also head coaches (except for Sean May) on his bench...pretty smart move.
Jon is in great shape. He’s got 2 message boards to get different viewpoints.
Here at DI, he can get all the criticism he can handle, with a few attaboys sprinkled in. Over here, we call it tough love.
Over at The Brotherhood, he will be showered with encouragement, inspiring words of affirmation, constant praise…
heck, if Jon decides to post there, they’ll ban him if he’s critical.
Jon, the choice is yours. You can’t go wrong.

My name is Jon….serious…take it for what it’s worth 🤷♂️
Is this good or meh? Don't know anything about him
We need experienced coaches. We aren't assembling a scrimmage team. I like the hire.
Nothing about the trajectory of JJ's career thus far suggests that he wants to coach.
no but if duke wants him he’d come. He even said that’s the only way he’d coach, if k asked him to come
I don't know much about this guy either. Hopefully he is worth it and we are not just bringing in another guy with "Duke" ties.
Here is his coaching experience...seems like he has the experience.
Coaching career (HC unless noted)
2008–2016 Stanford (assistant under Johnny Dawkins)
2016–2017 Butler (assistant under Chris Holtmann)
2017–2019 Ohio State (assistant Chris Holtmann)
2019–2022 Elon (head coach)
2022–present Duke (assistant)
We need someone who has been a head coach and Bill Self is busy.
he was there for three years, one of which was the covid season. not really a fair assessment of his coaching ability
I don’t know about that . Butler is probably his best reference and although he was with Dawkins when they had Reid and that guard they didn’t do much .
time will tell but I’ll hold my reservation.
My understanding is Schrage may not be a traditional assistant coach.
A 83 year old Larry Brown with his baggage does not interest me. He is not a Duke guy. Never was never will be. I'd rather get Hubie Brown who I think is 87 yrs. old. He is still brililant.

I think JJ is taking time off. Bump up Amile and bring in JJ for shooting and player development.
What's with this hankering for former players? Give me coaches. Coach K could do it because he was teaching those guys.
Alright...after much soul searching...discussions with my family...many meetings with my spitural advisor...talking to the magic 8 ball...flipping a coin...and a game of rock, paper, scissors...I have a made a decision...I will do it.
So is our staff done? Scheyer, Amile, Carrawell and Schrage. We still need someone as player development right?
Of course. No way Larry Brown is the choice. He hates Duke. Hubie Brown would be a great consultant. Former Duke assistant 56 years ago. They are both brilliant
I've talked to Schrage several times over the years. I would say Hard Pass. He was unpleasant and had no success at Elon
I like Hubie Brown but he's like 100. How on earth is he going to relate to 18 year olds? And he has such a great job.
I follow some NBA guys and supposedly there's rumor that the Utah Jazz are making changes once their season ends in the playoffs. Don't think Quinn would want to be an assistant though.
