If you really want to hire a 70 year old coaching legend, go after Coach K.While at Duke he repeatedly stated that the only place that could make him leave Duke was ND. Remember the core of this team was on the court when it trailed North Carolina by 52 in an ACC tournament game. Duke wants me. Its not amateurism and its not professional sports, but rather somewhere in between. We've not seen Starling's true skills. Ask yourself why, then remember P-Hubb.

Terry: How is it that the ND Womens BB program can continually recruit the top players in the country and the mens team cant even sniff a top recruit?

Now, when that dream materialized, Connaughton chased it and made himself an NBA player. Thoughts? No throwing NIL money at recruits. Swarbrick knew she was right. Everyone at the party is telling you/begging you not to leave the party yet. I get it a sloppy pass like late in the cuse or fsu game I'd on the players, but consistent minimal effort defense with no repercussions is on the players. Tom Noie: Dan: Somewhere beyond the bottom, and even then it might be too generous. My apologies. One program competes, another doesn't overanalyze.
