He looks like he doesn't have a care in the world, which means his parents are doing a great job.

Thank you hart. You are a real gentleman.
Me, I certainly try, thx - OFC
Oh I know, don’t worry, I adapt well lol
More like spoiled and wore out swimming lolHe looks like he doesn't have a care in the world, which means his parents are doing a great job.
Right, because Democrats were the ones that called the racists in Charlottesville lovely people and are the ones who oppose renaming the military bases. Hate crime are up under Trump’s watch. He is the one letting Steve Miller run his immigration platform. You can keep sticking your head in the sand, but that doesn’t mean the neo-nazis are not continuing to crawl out from under their rocks and support the current President
Unreal some of the posts that have been made in this near dozen page thread. We will wrap it up as I’m not sure what else needs to be shared from both ends of the spectrum here. I could say a lot more, but it’s not even worth it. It’s impossible to have any sensible dialogue when you have two groups that are so entrenched in their own talking points. Both sides can link things to back up their side. It’s like the Spiderman meme where he’s pointing to himself.
Have a great and safe weekend everyone.

ACC Football teams have announced starting dates for practices, workouts, etc- well all but 3,
BC, UVA and Duke. I am hoping we even have a season with many health experts predicting another wave of the virus.
I know Coach Cut is no spring chicken, but Coach K is about 10 years older than Cut. Just wondering if we do have DUKE BASKETBALL(fingers crossed we do!!!) will doctors advise K possibly to sit season out. His advanced age becomes a question, because of the susceptibility of elderly individuals to the virus.
I imagine it would be an interim thing at this point, but would think he would put team in hands of Coach Scheyer. You can poke holes in this scenario all day, but it is a REAL POSSIBILITY per virus stage.
One thing it would also do (although not a consideration), is shield our coach from pestering by the wolves. The media in this state is foaming at the mouth to talk to K about the Zion situation. OFC

We can do like Sheldon did in The Big Bang Theory. He put a laptop on a robot thing with his shirt and pants to avoid exposure to the flu. If you've never seen it, it's hilarious.
If there is another wave of the coronavirus like they’ saying there could be and Coach K were to decide to sit out the season as a precaution because of his age and Duke were to struggle then opposing fans and the media would have a field day and would be saying things like “Coach K knew his team was going to be bad, so he made up an excuse to not have to coach them so that the losses wouldn’t go on his record” like they did when he had surgery in 1994-95 and then again when he missed a month of the season because of surgery a couple or so years ago.
If it's the difference between life and possibly death he very well may and who could blame him
Agreed Va. Sometimes I feel we think he's going to be our coach forever, we like him so much and hes such a tough sonovagun. However fact remains this scenario could unfold per the pandemic. I would think Jimmy Boeheim would fall in the same category of susceptibility as well.

Question is, if the situation would unfortunately play out with K this year, would he decide to not come back and simply retire? A year as interim head coach may be just what a John Scheyer would need to adapt to handling the job. OFC
He’s not going to sit out - I understand the question but a majority of those who get covid (CONFIRMED) have a very low risk of dying from it, even those who are older.
At his age he’s not gonna “sit out” a season. He’d hang it up at before doing that.
I could see that sort of deal....If he doesn’t coach this year, he’s not coaching the next lol

its data my friend. I’ve been saying since day 1: covid is overblown. I’m right, but again it’s an election year so we need chaos, fear, etc.
Whatever Coach K decides to do he has my respect and support. I don't believe however he will just sit out a season because he's afraid of Covid-19. When he decides to sit out it will be retirement unless he may be ill . OFC
Ipsy are you getting senile like me? Repeatin yourself??? Just kidding, OFC
For the naysayers who imply COVID is "overblown" or Coach wouldnt step aside this year, keep in mind Coach K truly respects the health experts:

if you guys don’t want these basketball threads to get hijacked into political arguments perhaps you could refrain from launching grenades into the discussion.
SDevada we agree here. I am not throwing any partisan political thoughts here. This is just summer speculation on Duke basketball. We ALL love our boys and K.

thanks and i think it is a worthwhile discussion. i was responding to the comment about the virus being overblown. i fear that could start a discussion that sends us right down the same rabbit hole as the drew brees thread. As to your question, i saw one writer suggest that the older coaches might run practice but coach the games more remotely. not ideal to try relay texts or cellphone conversations but technologically feasible. Also K is not the only older coach. Ole Roy is getting up there.
Of course, K has earned the right to coach as long as he wishes. I just think this is the perfect time for him to retire. Times are crazy, we don’t know how much of the season we will have, or whether fans will get to go.
We always talk about transitioning to life after K. Well, I think this is a great time to start that transition.

Personally I don't want to start that transition, but there are more important things than basketball. We may get nostalgic really fast for those "disappointing Elite Eight" years.
Anecdotally, it seems like a lot of people who are around K's age are making that same decision. While I am not that age, I am within a year of retirement. We will not likely be back in our building until 2021 and even then not full staffed. Plus, the subway will still be pretty dangerous. There is a good chance that I will just roll up the rug and say goodbye. It makes me sad that I am thinking that way and I would hate for K to go out this way.
Maybe tryna convince myself haha
No way he sits it out, and no way he retires yet.
He will guide us through whatever next year looks like.

Grenade? It’s statistical fact. It’s part of what I do for a living. Covid is real, it can be lethal, but it’s not as contagious or lethal overall as they lead with. Mistakes happen in forecasting. Regardless both political parties are in need of something to argue about so you’ll see a “second wave”.
Go back to your political party fear and I’ll stay in the middle, citing clinical fact. Thanks!
Buddy, this shouldn’t turn political based on my one comment which actually calls out both parties lol. Clinically and statistically this covid is burning out, isn’t mutating, and is getting hit harder now here with developing immunity. Hell we are testing over 50x faster than ever as the big 3 labs can’t keep up with demand. The crazy part? Negative results are astoundingly high. We are seeing people with seasonal allergies convinced they have covid, for example. In spite of that there’s a chess game being played up through November, so please keep that in mind as the media (both sides) does their best to hype it up. Amazingly you’ll see covid disappear from the news come December.
Hope you’re well.
