All those injuries were too much to overcome. Not enough McDonalds All Americans for the best coach ever.

Finally this thread is showing a little life. Usually it's just Stinger posting in here.

bottom line, Duke needs a big man down center, the best Duke teams usually have them

so get a big man who can do shit, if he leaves after one year, get another one

Maybe they should develop some of the 5 star big men sitting on their bench.

Some rumors circulating that Duke is about to have a "mass exodus" of talent as guys transfer and/or go pro.

Not that Duke doesn't have a strong class coming in, but will be interesting to see how their roster ends up looking.

^So, like every year for the past 5 years?

They'll be fine, but this was clearly a piss poor coaching job by the other Coach K. Maybe the Duke fans will cry into the 5 national championship banners.

OP cries to the mod, continues IMing me spoilers of movies and shows because I (and others) post puke gifs in a Duke thread on a NCSU Sports message board. Might as well start one for UNC too, so that one TWW ST poster who went to NCSU but pulls for the Tarheels can talk to himself in it.

Eh I think K didn't do the best job this year, but pretty much everything that could go wrong this year, did go wrong:
- K missed a month for back surgery
- Allen kept up his tripping antics, relegated to the bench and received constant boos (moreso than any other Duke player I have seen, including JJ Redick)
- 3 of the 4 star freshmen missed time for injury
- Jeter and Allen were banged up
- Giles looked like he was still adjusting to his knee injury
- Both Jeter and Bolden couldn't provide serviceable minutes at the 5, despite both being 5 star centers

I guess K could have gone 8 or 9 deep like he did on his 2010 team and actually make use of the insane recruiting class he brought in, but it's really hard to get freshmen to jell when (a) you're not coaching for a month of the season, and (b) you didn't have a healthy rotation until February.

I think Giles/Tatum/Allen or Kennard/Jeter or Bolden are gone due to NBA or transferring. After 2015, when was the last mass exodus from Duke?

^^guy cries on a message board because he didn't get his way

he took mine out of your topic too, so its not like it wasn't fair

and I stopped the PMs once I saw they were gone, because its over now,
unless you need to keep crying

LOL, tattle-tale crybaby. Guess the things that people say about you who know you IRL are true. Makes sense that you're a Duke fan

No one here knows me IRL, they may have known me 10-12 years ago, but I doubt I'm anything close to the person they remember, so who cares what they say.

If they are still saying it after all this time, that says more about them than me.

Bottom line, your shit got taken down, and you cant do anything about it.
