Dawkins to Stanford

This has been probably the worst offseason for Duke basketball in recent memory.  Johnny Dawkins is a solid coach and he's going to be sorely missed.  I thought for sure he was going to be the next in line to coach Duke when Coach K decided it was time to hang it up.  This is a big loss for Duke, I really hope they find a decent replacement, Collins and Wojo are not prepared to take on the role that Johnny Dawkins played for this team the past several years.  To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if Quinn Snyder or David Henderson showed up on that bench to be beside Coach K.  Snyder is coaching in the NBDL, which is like coaching in a playground league and I don't even know what David Henderson is doing.  I think Snyder would be a good choice to come back.  Let's hope it's someone who knows what they're doing!

I think that Dawkins is leaving because he IS planning on being the next coach at Duke, as dumb as that sounds.  I think they decided that he had to get some head coaching experience and make a name for himself as a coach and recruiter and be hired back as the head coach when ever K decides to leave.  The worst that could happen is Dawkins turning out like Snyder. Best that could happen ,he turns out to be Duke's version of Roy Williams, coaches 10-15 years,  and makes a couple of final fours or something.

If this doesn't work out, what about Capel at Oklahoma, who if im not mistaken, built that VCU team that beat Duke in the first round last year.
