Down goes Duke

[bendm]

In their defense, it is nearly impossible to stay at a championship level when a program loses its iconic coach. In fact, I can't think of one program that has pulled it off. Not a single one......

Kansas? UNC?

Kansas? UNC?

UNC suffered before Roy Williams.

And Kansas had to suffer like 15 seasons with Roy Williams not winning jack at Kansas.

ETA - since Kansas is a blue blood, Roy Williams didn't win jack at Kansas.

Some Duke fans on their board are saying they've lost interest in Duke basketball and the NCAA tournament because of NIL. Duke has too much money to pay kids and the players are no longer interested and it creates disharmony.

They're not coping well under Scheyer.

Schysterman strikes again.

I think he was being facetious. Prob thinking uconn

It is nearly impossible and extremely rare, but "it's doable." I read ya.

I mean. Kids make dumb mistakes. He could have went to UCONN and had a chance to potentially lead a 3-peat

Wait till they dont win anything next season with their burger boys. Theyll start to realize Scheyer isnt very good. It worries me because DH once said that would be the only job he`d consider leaving for. To be faif that may have changed obviously.

I call bull dinky on Danny wanting to coach Duke

Well there’s also the angle that he could be watching this mess with the thinking that he’s got the talent to single-handedly restore his childhood team to its former glory (right or wrong).

I don’t remember Hurley ever saying that either. @TheChamps990411, can you find the Hurley quote where he said that?

Consider me triggered. You better have receipts

Cue the Cooper Flagg to UConn comments

 

[Fishy]

Yeah that’s happened many times without a technical called.

No matter Duke lost the day gets better and better. Looks like they tripped over themselves.

Noooooo…..that one is a technical foul.

He was up there for like three seconds for some reason. He had enough time to commit the technical foul and basket interference while he was there.

And they are literally getting the exact same kind of kid now than they were before NIL when all they had to do was things like making Chris Duhon’s mom CEO of IBM or something.

Tried finding it cannot find but i am 99.9% sure he said it. It wasnt a long discussion but he mentioned it. I cant be the only person here who saw it so hopefully someone here backs me and has the quote.

You actually might be. I've never heard it before.

 

[NJHoops]

There were a handful of jobs Hurley always said he could see himself aspiring to have. Duke is one of them, but so is his current employer. And, he’s not trying to collect them all, just wants to be comfortable and win.

As for all the NIL and transfer stuff- I find that a lot of people hate it and complain about it the most when their team loses and tend to tolerate/embrace it when their team is good. Lose to NC State? I hate the state of college athletics and, frankly, couldn’t care less. Win a championship? Clearly, the sport has reached its final and perfect form.

No way Duke gets a 2 seed now right?

They'll be a 4 seed in the east with Uconn.

Happy birthday to me.

Danny’s blue blood blue collar. Not a good fit for Duke.

Honestly I don't see them that high. They were not impressive this year. They moved up by the name.

Geno said it once. I don't remember Danny ever saying it.

UNC was another one, which is just a way funnier story line.
