ESPN can say whatever they want. What matters is what happens in the living room. I think Duke just made a mistake in not going with Johnny Dawkins. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inequality Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 As we know, the ACC Network (ACCN) is a 24/7 national network dedicated to ACC sports. ACCN is owned and operated by ESPN in partnership with the Atlantic Coast Conference. I’m fine with spanking their little darlings around in the ACC vs B1G challenge. The only time of year I pull for the other B1G teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Dawkins is the right guy for right now in Duke? He didn't really do anything at Stanford except had NIT success. I think the allure of the unknown for Duke is greater than what they do know. Why do you think Dawkins would be the guy? Not arguing just wondering.

Mostly because the I played for 9 years in the league and know what it takes to get there angle sells on recruiting front. Plus he's been a head coach and taken two different programs to tourney. Former Duke legend, NBA player, proven track record in coaching....all that to me adds up to better option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The king of the NIT is your proven track record? I get the NBA angle you are saying but let's be real....Dawkins NBA connection is not the same as an NBA lifer like Woody. You could be right...either way K has plenty of assistants and former players coaching that it could take a lifetime to give them all a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting programs like Stanford and UCF to the tourney is impressive to me. Time will tell. I'll be curious over the coming season what former Duke players are going to say. I'm not talking Laettner and Hurley. Talking recent players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted June 3, 2021 Report Share Posted June 3, 2021 Not a Duke or K fan at all, but listening to the "tribute" shows already aired by ESPN and on Sirius, they make it sound like a eulogy, or at the very least that he retired immediately. He's gonna be coaching one more year, and I am certain that every opponent, at least in the ACC, will have their tribute videos, gifts etc. Just seems like the gun got jumped quite a bit here to start this. As I heard someone say this morning, it's like Sara McClaughlin's (sp?) "I Will Remember You" was or should have been playing in the background of every one of these. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Coach K as a coach. The way he teaches the game and the way he raised "men" for the most part of his career. I just think the last several years he really kind of sold his soul in chasing the OAD and more championships. I think he sees the continued trends and realizes the game is passing him by in terms of recruiting, keeping players, and the new landscape of what the NCAA will be and he is getting out before he loses credibility and so he doesn't have to navigate the new college basketball world....ala Williams. It was only a matter of time anyways. Or he is just getting old and its time to call it a career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interesting to see how much sway Duke/UNC will have going forward based solely on past reputation. Now that is a very interesting topic. Let's see... UK...Joe B. Hall(won a title) Louisville...Rick Pitino(won a title) UNC...Bill Guthridge(FF appearance) Indiana...Mike Davis(National Title game) UCLA...Gene Bartow(FF appearance, SS in just 2 years with a record of 51-10) Who else do you consider a blue blood? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of guys have followed a HOF coach and had success but did nothing once that HoF coach's players left. See Tubby, Weber, Davis, and Ollie who all made the title game and 2 of them won it. All were ultimately fired though. It's tough to follow a legend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
