Message: [QUOTE="Bayareahusky, post: 2360814, member: 2136"] [USER=2136]@Bayareahusky[/USER], to follow up on your point about Coach K (and for some background information), he was hired because Team USA finished SIXTH. The team won a bronze medal at the 2004 Olympics (under Larry Brown and his assistant Roy Williams, both UNC guys...sorry, could not resist). After Coach K took Duke to the bronze medal at the 2006 WC, the team won gold medals at the 2008 Olympics, 2010 World Championships (played in Turkey, the home country of the silver medalists), 2012 Olympics, 2014 World Championships (played in Spain, the home country of the 2008 and 2012 Olympic silver medalist), and 2016 Olympics. Coach K went 88-1 as Head Coach of Team USA (2006-2016) - and that last loss was in 2006. But going back to the original point (and what [USER=5823]@CocoHusky[/USER] reminded me regarding the previous posts in this thread), Coach K had two Duke players on three Olympic teams - Carlos Boozer in 2008 (Boozer was All-NBA when he was selected) and Kyrie Irving in 2006 (Irving was All-NBA and the 2014 WC MVP when he was selected). Hard to argue that there is any Duke bias there.[/QUOTE] Man Oh Man - You are tuffer than a 3 dollar steak..... either it was you or our other big Dookie poster.... put forth the facts and corrected..... and I have already waved the white flag of surrender..... Coach K is good stock [/QUOTE]
