wow, strong opinions. Fraud? Please explain the winningest coach in ncaa history ?


He's a great coach. He quit on his team in 1995 when is was obviously a down year for them. He also has great publicists who for the most part made him out to be a saint........
1995?
Interesting - They have been in the tournament like every year for two decades. Not many coaches are saints are they?

Such a tired cliche for Duke-haters.

When Coach K stepped away in January 1995, Duke was 9-3 and ranked #11. They had beaten #17 Georgia Tech in a neutral-site game, beaten three eventual NCAA tournament teams (Illinois and Michigan of the Big Ten, with the Illinois game at Chicago, plus North Carolina AT&T), and beaten eventual NIT team George Washington. Duke had also lost to Elite Eight-bound UConn by all of four points, at UConn.

Care to explain again how it was obviously a down year at that point, rather than becoming one because of K's injury?

Like it or not (I don't), Duke is our model for bball. I would love to sniff half of Duke's bball success from the last 25 years.

This was the first bball game I watched since our "theft game" because I was hoping the cheesers would pull it off. I was not disappointed. Dekker is a bad man. I watched it on TBS and thought it was ok. I also thought the Harrison twins are overrated. If they didn't have Towns, that team would have crapped out a few rounds ago - Calipari is annoying even though he's in LB's forest. Personally, I think LB can coach circles around him.
