RE: If Coach K left.

[dfairchild]

When things get tough, Coach K goes to LA.

Given the pass Duke basketball always gets, I have to give my cynical take.

Coach K has enjoyed a good ride at Duke because of the clear advantages he
has had over the past 7 years (or so).  He has been in the premier
conference and his biggest rival has been in a constant flux with coaching
changes.  Now that is changing.  With expansion, the ACC is no longer
special but just like every other conference.  The Big East can arguably be
judged a better basketball conference.  With Roy Williams at North Carolina,
the recruiting competition is definitely stronger.  Unprotected by these
previous advantages, getting out now must look pretty appealing.

Go Cats!

  Tubby should already be used to the UK rednecks.  Does he want to have to
go through all that again?

    The UK job is a great job with great perks. So is the Duke job.  The
problem with both jobs is that success has spoiled the alumni and fans.  I
don't see a difference between either job.  The only way you leave one for
the other is if you want a change of scenery or you think you are on the
hotseat in your current situation.

    I posed the question that if Coach K left that if offered Tubby would
take the job at Duke.  A friend of mine who is a UK fan says that no way
would Tubby even consider the job.  What do you guys think?
