Yep, he's closer to retirement and hanging it up for good. |

Probably not, hence the new thread. |

This guy says something is gonna happen involving the college basketball world that will shock everyone, the only thing I would find shocking is Coach K coming to coach the Lakers.. |
Coach K is actually intelligent and won’t cast his career on Lebron’s shoulders. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

What exactly is Coach K good at? It's 2019. He is not surviving an 82 game schedule + playoffs. The only thing he's been good at recently is recruiting. We have enough recruiters. |

Also, if we get a big name college coach, I bet it's Izzo (since all we know as an organization is nepotism and psuedo-nepotism). |

Coach K is one of the few coaches Lebron would listen to and respect, but I see zero reason for him to leave Duke to coach in the NBA. |

Maybe he's interested in developing a heart condition? |

And he’s the freakin’ king of his current domain. And wealthy, and unimpeachable, and basically, a hero. Why give all that up at his age?
I mean, he could have a longing to try one more thing before it’s too late, or maybe he’s sick of the one-and-done culture of college and doesn’t want to wait for it to change. I don’t know. |

If we have LBJ and KD with our young core players, then he might be intrigued otherwise he is not stepping into this mess. |

I agree. Sure, he could be a great NBA coach. But most of the college coaches that have gone pro haven't stuck in the league. |
Billy Donovan
Brad Stevens
Those guys came straight from college and are leading there team while they are contenders. |
Donovan is a rather average NBA coach though, he's even taken some of the blame for KD leaving because he was a bad coach.
Anyway, not only Coach K is 72, coaches are superstars in the NCAA, while in the NBA they're always in the hot seat. Just like the NBA is a players league, the NCAA is a coaches league. For a guy who's a superstar there, it makes zero sense to make the jump unless they are people with different motivations in life, like Brad Stevens. _________________ www.lakersbrasil.com

Not only that, but somehow the only logical conclusion is that Coach K is coming to the Lakers. lmao |

As much disdain as I have for Luke, I'd rather have him than Ty "stepped over by Iverson" Lue. _________________ “You can't be held captive by the fear of failure or the fear of what people may say.” - Kobe Bryant |

3-4 losses and you guys would all be yelling “FIRE COACH K” and saying you actually miss Luke. |
