March 24, 201313 yr And surprisingly none of them have really had great, or even good success. Because the Duke way only works at Duke.:lol2:
March 24, 201313 yr Wow. Never even thought about the pros. We hardly ever hear of college guys who want to go pro. Wouldn't that be something. His demeanor would be pretty much perfect for the NBA. He isn't a scream and shout guy, and I would bet a lot of cash his style would translate on a very high level. He is all business and would relate to NBA guys at the highest level IMO...
March 24, 201313 yr That's why I started the thread. I'm not convinced he'll have success wherever he goes. I feel like he will but I have been wrong once or twice before.
March 24, 201313 yr Stevens and Smart would be 1A and 1B on my list of young coaches I'd like to have. I don't see him going anywhere else this year. Nothing worth leaving for on the NCAA level.

March 24, 201313 yr Author I feel like he will but I have been wrong once or twice before. I would lean that way, but not a slam dunk in my mind.

March 24, 201313 yr If he goes to the Pacers I fear he would make Hansbrough an All Star and then I'd have to hate Stevens too.

March 24, 201313 yr Vogel has done a pretty nice job with the Pacers. Might be a few years before that job is open.
March 24, 201313 yr Good points. I was having a conversation with a national guy that is 100% dialed in on everything tied in to Indy hoops when the topic came up and tried to brush it off at that point as well. The reality is Stevens wants to keep his family in Indy and the Pacers job is the biggest prize available. I do think he would be a top of the line NBA coach with the proper resources in place...
