Message: [QUOTE="Husky68, post: 3852387, member: 173"] Coach K article after ND loss a week ago. Looks like Coach K could be coaching for next year where Johnson won't help and has decided to go with returning players. That is at least the impression this part of article gives. This suggests coach K has quit on Johnson, not attempting to make him better by letting him play through mistakes 'cause he is of no future use. "Freshman Jalen Johnson, likely headed this summer to the NBA where he’s a projected lottery pick, scored only eight points while turning the ball over three times. But, really, Johnson isn’t relevant to what Krzyzewski was discussing after the game. Duke’s rare struggling teams played hard like this one but, also like this one, weren’t able to win. Yet they set the stage for teams that did win. And they won big. Unlike Johnson, Steward and Roach look like multi-year players. They figure to join the next group of top-rated recruits next season to help the Blue Devils forget this year’s losing experience. “Over the years in our program, when we have had that, you learn your lesson may be better for the long run,” Krzyzewski said. “But for the short run, it is really, it’s tough. It’s just tough, and I have to be their coach, and help them at this time.”" [HEADING=3][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
