    While MSU is preparing for Butler, suddenly rumors about Oregon having interest in Izzo come out. Now, rumors of the Nets having interest in K are coming out while Duke's getting ready for the Bulldogs.

    It's the only logical solution! ;)
    Rumors are also abound that Oregon officials are in Indy and have offered Stevens. Just saying :D

    Coach K is Duke. He's also not very young anymore and I saw him pulling out a stool a few times during the national championship game because he wasn't able to stand the entire time.

    He's always had some health issues. Whether his back or what not.. I just don't see him moving anywhere. He's got a ton of money and he has it made at Duke. NOT going ANYWHERE.

    He had the stool just like Butler's coach did. The floor was raised 3 feet or so above where the benches were, much like last year.

    But he isn't staying at Duke because he's 60+, he's staying because he IS Duke. Just like everyone has said.

    ah, didn't know Brad Stevens was using a stool too.. Only time I saw it was when K had it out.

    But I definitely think age will play a factor in his decision. If he was, say, in his 40's maybe early 50's, he would probably look at this opportunity a lot harder.

    At his age, I doubt he's looking to make a change.

    But yeah, like I said, he IS Duke.

    If Krzyzewski had Sam Gilbert hanging around Duke the way Wooden had him at UCLA, who knows how much more success he'd have had by this point?
