Yea, im just going to go out on a limb and say you hate the man

Look at his record. He had two of the best players in college ball for four of the past five years and only made one Final Four. This year's team was no less talented than normal, but their performance was entirely mediocre. Not to mention that he hasn't done squat with Team USA.

Who ? JJ Redick and Sheldon Williams ?

Come on man, they are not 2 of the best players in the nation.....JJ is great at what he does and thats shooting, Sheldon was a good low block player but that was it...

Have you looked at their team last year, its filled with crap

McRoberts was their best player and he was a 2nd round draft pick.

Paulus has tons of flaws

And Scheyer will be JJ Jr in 3 years but he was just a freshman this year.

And everyone else was pretty much worthless, Nelson is decent but nothing specia

Duke has no doubt hit a rough patch in recruiting they arent getting the Hills, Latenears, Hurleys, Brands, Boozer types anymore they are getting the lower end of the McDonalds All Americans they arent landing the Durants. I believe they have a good class coming in this year but I have to double check, I think they landed a handfull of McD's All Americans so it could be turning back around.

I hate Duke as much as anyone and it pains me to defend them but I just dont see your point on this topic. Just seems like a UNC fan to me lol

JJ was co-POY as a senior. SheWill was an All-American. But their Dook teams accomplished squat for their last three years. One has to wonder why. I think it's because Krzyzewski no longer has what it takes to craft a winner.

Once again, look at JJ and Sheldon as players and tell me that you think they were 2 of the top 10 players in terms of talent in the nation....

They were the only 2 good options on the team so their numbers were great but if you are going off talent then they are not in the top class
