The Cooper Flagg mania at Duke is officially over! The Maine Event won’t be back next season –despite all the hype and hope. Instead, Flagg is headed to the NBA Draft after delivering one of the greatest freshman seasons ever. He led Duke in all five major statistical categories. Capped it off with a National Player of the Year award. And took the Blue Devils all the way to the Final Four. So close to the ultimate prize… yet just short.
But while fans were dreaming of a second season, frustration spilled over and some of it landed on Jon Scheyer.In a farewell video posted on Duke’s official handle, Scheyer praised Flagg, saying: “Really proud of Cooper for the special season that he had this year.”
The words were warm. The feelings from fans? Not so much.
“We can thank scheyer for one of the worst coaching jobs in a 2nd half i’ve ever seen for flagg not getting a ring” commented one fan.
