He’s gone. Who cares who coach K took? He’s not a good evaluator, developer or coach. It’s why he tried to take only top 10 kids
This is the dumbest of takes ever
It’s true , they have’t won crap & not even made the tournament with his 1 & dones. He doesn’t even coach anymore, just sits, sulks & looks like a rat on the bench.
Nah. He was a really good coach once. Back when he had time to develop kids. Then Cal changed the game with one and dones and he exploited loopholes in recruiting as the USA national team coach and decided to just assemble as much talent as possible and let them play.
What are you babbling about? JC shouldn’t be fired he gets 5-6 years easy. And Henry Coleman stinks. There’s nothing in any of those posts suggesting this is a loss.
Same old story. Generally the most desirable players in the portal want to go to programs that offer both minutes and the opportunity to get somewhere in March. The rest choose their programs strictly on potential PT. Pitt is a bottom feeder P5 program that is really not competing for the difference-making transfers. More like chumming in the warm bodies pool within the portal. Mostly middling players from middling mid-majors that want a shot to play P5.
Yes? When was the last time Duke took a kid outside of the top 30 that was a good player for them?
I think if JC cant find a way to build a winning program at Pitt playing around .500 ball in conference after 6 yrs then Pitt needs to move on .
I don't know what kind of player Coleman is, I'll take your word for it that he isn't Pitt material. The threshold for Pitt material these days is having a pulse and being able to fog a mirror, so he must really suck.
Absolutely. Probably the best of all time. I think his in game coaching, development and everything other than recruiting has slipped in the past few years. And the point about Cal in this thread is a valid one. Where it seems K has let the players go too much, Cal continues to run an antiquated system that slows down his players. I think both need to switch it up at this point.
He won the acct 2 years ago and went to the elite 8
Agree, but we’re Pitt fans. Any year they’re not in the FF is considered by the Duke faithful to be disappointing due to the standards Coach K created for that program.
Well if he had a guaranteed contract for 22 yrs then maybe I’d give him 20 yrs .( 10 I’d give 8 ) .
This past season was difficult on everyone . The Duke woman canceled their season and at 74 yrs old catching Covid wasn’t a very good idea . The only reason he continues to coach is because he obviously wants to , it’s certainly not about the money .
Actually, Krzyzewski's recruiting hasn't changed. He was pursuing, and signing, the same sorts of players 25 and 30 years ago. The difference now is that they leave. Guys like Christian Laettner and Grant Hill stayed around for four years. It wasn't until after Duke's loss in the NCAAT Final to Connecticut in '99 that Elton Brand, William Avery, and Cory Maggette all turned pro early, and only Maggette was a OAD. They were Krzyzewski's first early departures, and I am skeptical that he anticipated that when he recruited them. He's still recruiting, successfully, the same kinds of players he has since that Alarie, Bilas, Dawkins, and Henderson class in '82. Now, those sorts of players just leave early.
