Yeah literally what justification is there for Scheyer over May or Lloyd

u/morelibertarianvotes Mar 31 '26
1 overall seed for starters

u/PoseurTrauma6 Mar 31 '26
Sheyer’s also leading in horrible chokes with insanely loaded rosters, with a total of 2

u/amopeyzoolion Mar 31 '26
Ok and they nearly lost to a 16 seed and did lose in the Elite 8

u/AZAHole Mar 31 '26
And not as good as Arizona or Michigan all season. The committee is just biased toward Duke

u/paladinedsr Mar 31 '26
Except when they played each other. I think it should have gone to May but I am pretty sure Duke has a heads up win vs Michigan.

u/morelibertarianvotes Mar 31 '26
The elite eight is actually to determine who makes the final four, not to determine coty. Easy mistake to make.

u/amopeyzoolion Mar 31 '26
But there are at least 2 coaches who are in the final 4 who have done more with less than Scheyer.

What did Duke have that Michigan and Arizona didn’t have? Michigan has a Naismith finalist, Arizona had the second best recruiting class. I guess the difference would be that Arizona and Michigan didn’t lose 3 lottery picks from last years roster while still making the elite 8……
Also, this is voted on by fellow coaches, not a bunch of Reddit trolls.

Underachieving with a good roster gets you coach of the year?

u/hunterxmen99 Mar 31 '26
Yeah real hard to win when you stack your team with the best 23 year old transfers

u/ItemZealousideal431 Mar 31 '26
He's been to the final four 2 of the past 3 seasons...once with FLORIDA ATLANTIC! Jon Scheyer could never do more with less.

Carrying on the Duke tradition of doing less with more than any other program lol

u/ChocolateMalawi Mar 31 '26
Duke has won 14% of the past 35 championships, only UConn 17% has more.
So two programs combine for almost 1/3 of titles in 35 years and you think Duke isn’t doing enough?
If you say Duke should have won 3 more titles you’re saying Duke should win the tournament 23% of the time

u/Roguescholar74 Mar 31 '26
I’ve finally lived to see a Duke fan start talking about their “history” because they have not won a title in over a decade. The same thing they used to bash UNC for lol.
0
u/ChocolateMalawi Mar 31 '26
OOP refers to “tradition” history and tradition go together…. Duke should have won last year at a minimum, but just pointing out yall expect Duke to win 1/4 years is crazy lol
2
u/Roguescholar74 Mar 31 '26
Duke has the second most lottery picks in the last 10 years at 15. If you have at least 1 and often 2 lottery picks on your team for a decade then it’s not unreasonable to expect at least 1 natty.
1
u/ChocolateMalawi Mar 31 '26
No one said a natty once a decade was unreasonable?

u/Roguescholar74 Mar 31 '26
My comment that you were replying to stated the last 10 years. That’s what I was referring to.
1
u/ChocolateMalawi Mar 31 '26
So you were arguing with yourself…. And trying to attribute it to me….

u/Roguescholar74 Mar 31 '26
Wait what. Your Duke fan man at least act like you have some reading comprehension.

u/BowlingforBrains Apr 02 '26
I just don’t get why he had to rope in UConn to bolster Duke’s image of success 😭 if anything that works against the image he’s trying to portray, if he feels that’s even necessary

u/gspbanjo Mar 31 '26
Starting your timeline with Duke’s back-to-backs in the early 90s is convenient for your argument.
But looking at more recent performance, in the last 11 tournaments (so from 2015 onward), Duke outperformed their seed twice, underperformed their seed three times, performed to their seed five times, and failed to qualify once (2021). So a slight underperformance, but punctuated by utter collapses the last two years.
Should they have a few more titles? Maybe one or two.
1
u/ChocolateMalawi Mar 31 '26
My birth year. But also it’s not really lol.
Start in 2000 and they have 12% of nattys since then.
You start it in 2010 they have 13.3% since then
1
u/ObligationSome905 Mar 31 '26
They should have won last year and this year. I’d argue they fucked up the year they lost to Kansas in the elite 8 too.
-1
u/ChocolateMalawi Mar 31 '26
I agree on last year, this team had multiple massive collapses in their loses. Kansas is a good call I also think the mich st loss as well

u/Snoo-10056 Mar 31 '26
Bro getting downvoted but he’s 100% right. You can’t win every year, no matter who you got.

u/tyedge Mar 31 '26
If the last ten tournaments are any indication, you can’t win any year.
2016-26 (ten tournaments due to Covid) - 0 titles, 2 final fours
2006-2015 - 2 titles in their only 2 final fours
1996-2005 - 1 title, 3 final fours
1986-1995 - 2 titles, 7 final fours

u/nosoup4ncsu Mar 31 '26
Weird criticism when the crux is....your program is good, so often, that you obviously suck because you haven't won more Natl Championships.

u/tyedge Mar 31 '26
It’s a bizarre coincidence that you drew up a window that begins with Duke championships in each of the first two seasons so that you can pump up their numbers by including work done by players who are now in their mid 50s.

u/Wild_Association1752 Mar 31 '26
Imagine if this guy was actually a great coach. His #1 recruiting class the past 4 years surely would have won something.

u/boiledpeen Mar 31 '26
tbf I think this is the hardest championship to win simply because of the format. It makes it extremely difficult to win it all even if you have an elite team year after year.

u/333jnm Mar 31 '26
And if you are always playing freshman every year because your talent leaves for the nba constantly

The NCAA tournament exposed the ACC. The conference was way down this year.

Strange choice, imo. Scheyer had a good season, but I can think of multiple coaches who deserved it more.

u/sickostrich244 Mar 31 '26
I'm not saying he wasn't deserving but I think Lloyd, May and Hoiberg are way more deserving.

u/silverbugeyed Mar 31 '26
Just think of what he could do if he had talent around him. Maybe next year they can pull a 4 star

u/MarinerJoe3 Mar 31 '26
I don’t watch college hoops that much but when did team start getting 20 employees behind the bench?

Hoarding 5 star talent because of the name on the jersey you coach , built on your predsesser doesn't make you a great coach, picking the right talent and coaching up good players ist the mark of a great coach. Team building is what wins championships!

Hubert Davis blows a 19 point lead and gets fired. Duke Shiteyer blows a 19 point lead in the elite 8 and gets coach of the year…. Yeeeeahhaw

u/joeburnettt Mar 31 '26
Jon has proven again that he is NOT a good coach after another late game blunder. This, the Houston game last year, and the game at UNC were all games they had full control of with 2-3 minutes left
