OT - That did not last long, Hurley to Arizona St

[DarthGrumpy]

Well, that did not last long. Hurley is leaving the frozen tundra of Amherst NY and the SUNY Bulls for the burnt sands of Scottsdale AZ and the ASU Sun Devils.

I wonder if he gets a sign-on bonus to cover the costs of an entire new wardrobe?

 

[Jaker]

I would leave buffalo in a heartbeat

Wonder if he takes Ben Wood (former UCONN graduate manager) with him. Went to same high school as Ben. He was a senior when I was a freshman, both played for same basketball coach. Good dude.

Maybe but 1 thing is for sure...Bobby should be sporting plenty of "Woodies" coaching at Arizona State as the ASU gene pool is the best recruiter for that occurrence.

Yes, lots of "talent" at ASU

Buffalo? What kind of coaching opportunity is that for assistants?

IF you don't think 2 years in Buffalo is long, you've never been to Buffalo ; 0

Weird that he'd leave the flagship university of New York, for the second class school in Arizona.

Technically, Tempe, not Scottsdale. Potayto, potahto.

Hmm Buffalo or Tempe real tough decision.

So who will get K's job? Hurley, Amaker, Dawkins, or ?

I thought it was going to be Collins, but if Hurley is successful at ASU I think he will be the front runner, Dawkins really has not done much at Stanford.

Don't forget Wojo at Marquette.

That's a tough one. Dawkins probably would have gotten fired if he didn't go to the Elite Eight last year. Amaker's doing well in the Ivy League but he's also been fired from a P5 job already. Hurley, Collins, and Wojo all get incompletes so far. They're not giving it to Jeff Capel.

So unless one of those guys really distinguishes himself in the next few years, I think they have no choice but to go outside of the Duke family. Would Brad Stevens say no?

If he's winning with the Celtics? Of course he would say no.

Coach K is likely 5 years away from retirement, at least 3 so speculating right now is fruitless. Plus I'd bet he saw how Calhoun did it and if Coach K - even more of a control freak by the way. So when Coach K is ready to call it quits he will have his successor hand-picked, groomed and falling into the job. It'll probably be someone from Duke family and probably someone from Duke coaching tree but its all TBD
