In response to digamma
Any theories about why Amaker was vetoed by K after reportedly being offered the job (or at least Asst/HC-in-waiting)? Does K demand "absolute loyalty" like certain criminal enterprises - and not just the ones that decapitate horses? Was Amaker bolting Durham for Seton Hall seen as a betrayal? What about Wojo or Chris Collins who also left Duke's bench to take over big time programs? In particular, you'd think coaching at Northwestern would have some parallels to Duke, being the preeminent academic institution in a Power 5 conference.
Elevating Scheyer, who has no HC experience, seems a lot like a similar move when another ACC legend just down Tobacco Road retired. Anyone remember Bill Guthridge? That didn't work out so well, resulting in UNC bringing Roy Williams back into the fold after just three years.
