Duke and UNC didn't hire big names

Agree. What are you honestly going to do? They had 3 candidates, all very high profile, and none of them wanted to leave their current situation. With every coach making $5M plus, there's not as much incentive to move constantly. Look at Drew.

Scheyer is going good at Duke. Pope's record suggests he's a good coach. Not a huge name, but not a bad choice either. But this is the rant.


Radio interview with Jeff Sheppard this morning locally, and he and Pope were roommates, and he's super excited for the hire. I think this will ultimately work out well for both parties.
