Miami is interested in hiring Jai Lucas as its next head basketball coach and, according to the Associated Press, Lucas is planning to accept the job, though details are not finalized.

Overall, losing Jai Lucas would be a blow to Duke basketball, especially to an ACC rival. But having assistant coaches being hired by other major programs is a positive reflection on the Blue Devils' success. Jon Scheyer is in his third year as head coach. And this program is getting better each year under the former point guard.
