The temptation to compare Hubert Davis and Jon Scheyer is strong, and for good reason. Coaches at Duke and North Carolina are always linked, through history and circumstance, but these two especially. Both were stars at their alma maters, where they took over for legendary, Hall of Fame coaches who became synonymous with their programs and were in a position to influence the selection of their successor, one right after the other.
That impulse is natural, but misguided.
From a distance they may blur together, but up close their situations are very different, and it has nothing to do with the coach or the school, and everything to do with the players.
