We may learn more of the backstory soon, but Jon Scheyer’s pursuit of Kentucky assistant Jai Lucas was on the radar several weeks ago and about a week ago, he turned Duke down.
So what happened?
Well we’re not sure. As Matt Jones of Kentucky Sports Radio pointed out on Twitter, Kentucky would surely have matched whatever Duke offered, and that that was “not a good look.”
Well, maybe.
Look, obviously for Kentucky fans, losing to Duke in any way is not good. We get that. But there might be other reasons why he decided to move to Durham.
