A dream come true for Triad - Coach P. will not return [merged thread]

JPM resigns:

 

[CocoHusky]

First Duke call should go out to Beth Cunningham.

 

[Mdoggie]

Who takes over? Jumper?

 

[Goodgood]

As much as I hate to say this but Shea should be considered as the top candidate. Let the speculations begin!!!

First Duke call should go out to Beth Cunningham.

Why? Duke can do a lot better than her. Given the late date and uncertainty for the upcoming season, go with an interim (asst) and make a big hire next year.

 

[RockyMTblue2]

I tuned out when she started thanking the entire state of Maine.

 

[UConnCat]

No agreement on an extension. Sounds like Duke wasn't interested in keeping her.

Who is currently available that is better than Cunningham?

She mentioned uncertainty and being in the last year of her contract in the first few sentences.

guess a 90% proposed paycut (+ all the tips you can earn) did not go over to well.

Hmmm, thread title indicates for some it will be Christmas in July. Why I venture to believe some folks may even celebrate with fireworks.

GG. It shouldn't matter at this late date. Duke won't be very good in a season that may not happen anyway. Why not put an interim tag on an asst coach and hire next year from what would be a better pool of candidates. Duke can do a lot better than an asst coach who was let go by ND.

 

[Reypl21]

Duke should go for Karen Aston!

 

[UconnMark]

If they hurry, Holly might still be available.

My first thought.

 

[eebmg]

Out of the box. Jay Bilas.

 

[DeeHusky]

Michelle Clark Heard or Johnnie Harris. I’m sure Jeff Walz’s name will come up

McCallie exits as Duke's women's hoops coach

Joanne P. McCallie, who led the Duke women's basketball team to a 330-107 record in her 13 seasons and was a three-time ACC Coach of the Year, will not be returning, she said.

I'm shocked.

 

[newfrontier]

What a shame. This is shameful. Shame on Duke.

 

[Waquoit]

I read about this on the other board!

I haven't been this happy since McDonalds brought back the McRib

 

[Adesmar123]

She is as bad a speaker as she was a coach.

How about a rematch with Goestenkors? Reports say she's ready for a comeback.

 

[EricLA]

Great news for Duke fans. It seemed apparent that she was not going to have her job much longer - her contract ends after this coming year. It's wreaked havoc on recruiting for them. It will be several years before they can even begin to recover, unless they make a splashy hire like Schaeffer to Texas...

 

[Argonaut]

Has someone checked on @triaddukefan ?

Does he need smelling salts to come back around...
