Coach K is washed up. He hasn't had a real contender in years.

Washed up?
OMG. I will say Duke does not have the players they have had in the past. But if Coach K is washed up, Pillow has no desire to ever place a bet again.
K will get players again.
And I still dont get the Duke hatred entirely. Guess I am from the wrong part of the country.

Out of all of their players I will take McRoberts, and thats about it. If Paulus is a point guard, I am a 5' 6" center. He is a gutsy little kid, but he cannot be the show, he just does not have the quickness or athleticism. Any PG having that much trouble bringing the ball up the court man up... not good.

I'm not a duke fan but if the team was any younger they would be playing AAU ball. It't the strong team of games past but they'll be better next year. P hit the nail on the head, paulus is just not a solid point guard. Also, I totally dont understand the love fest the announcers have with McRoberts. The kid is a decent player, but these guys talk as if he's the second coming

He should of been the starting QB at Syracuse

Upside. He can use both hands, he handles the ball very well. He has multiple inside moves. Playing out of position. I did not know the announcers loved him though. He is not Kevin Durant, but I think he is very versatile and could possibly be a decent 3 or 4 on the pro level. Definitely not a center though. And thats where Duke must play him.

McRoberts would look great next to a good big man. Put McRoberts on Ohio State next to Oden and you would definitely hear all about him. I think he is the only player on the Duke team the opposition fears one on one. And he is playing the wrong role, but he must on the team Duke puts on the floor. Got to be a bit frustrating for the kid.

I hate Duke just as much as the rest, but Coach K being washed up. lol Are you serious?? I guess 2004 must seem like it was 50 years ago, because if my memory is right (which I know it is), he coached Duke to the Final 4 where they played the soon to be National Champion Huskies toe to toe. I hate Duke, but Coach K is not washed up.

I can't believe I agree with an Irish Fan

Hasn't anyone from the South ever taught y'all how to spell--Dook--?

Well, now you know. And it's always spelled this way when they lose.

GPK · #12 03-15-2007, 09:23 PM

my Heels are tapping that ass right now....

IrishofNDMan · #13 03-15-2007, 09:26 PM

Irish fans are wise!

IrishofNDMan · #14 03-15-2007, 09:26 PM

Also, take ND and -4 to the BANK tomorrow!

That guard they have, I think he is a freshman, Carter? That kid is something. I like the ND basketball team.

But I still dont get the Duke hatred. Rich kid private school? Or they just win too much?

IrishofNDMan · #17 03-15-2007, 09:51 PM

Russell Carter is #43 and he is a senior. The freshman guard you are talking about is Tory Jackson, hell of a player.

#18 03-15-2007, 10:15 PM

Coach K did a horrible job of getting those kids ready for competitive basketball. I don't care if they're 12 year olds...judging by their conditioning you could make a case that a few of them could be that young.

He won't win jack **** with the kids he has now and by the time he gets some talent he'll be too old to coach them. Also if you watch Duke every year on a regular basis you'll notice he's getting a little senile.

ALSO Roy Williams is beating him on the court and in the recruiting war.

Stick a fork in Coach "F-Bomb" K

The kid has great instincts on the court and could be the
premier point guard in the Big East the next couple of years.
You know he's going to be fighter on the court being around
13 brothers and sisters in his family

Also...

The Duke hatred card is way overplayed. The only real reason why I dislike Duke is due to Dick Vitale acting like he's having an orgasm whenever he talks about them. Coach K, "RICKY!" Pitino and the rest of the moose-eh-rella clan should get a suite in Vegas and sanctify their marriage.
