Wait a minute what did he do to them this year ? Apparently "not " coach em up.

One of the best recruiting classes plus returning upperclassmen and GONE knocked out like a fat bi::ch playing dodgeball 

Not up to Duke standards .  But we still won over 25 games the ACC tourney and punched unc in the mouth twice..  Not great but we can't win it every year..

K is a very smart in game coach, tactfully he knows what the hell he is doing. No argument from me there. But this idea that he develops players NOW is a myth. There are numerous examples of this. Look at his bench of McD AAs that he refuses to play. Jeter, Bolden, Giles every single one of these guys saw their draft stock plummet. Bolden and Jeter should probably transfer. You can even look at Jahil Oakafor as an example too. Bordering on a big time bust status in NBA and the sixers couldn't give him away at trade deadline. 

K no longer develops players partially because he doesn't have to. He basically gets his choice of elite HS prospects. His coaching style changed when he was unfairly given a huge recruiting advantage by being allowed to coach Olympic team. 

It amazes me to see these elite big men continue to go there and be underused, undervalued, and under-developed. Bigs at Duke are there to set screens for shooters and that's it.

Yeah because Miles and Mason pumlee made it to the NBA on their skillsets alone..

Not to mention Jefferson right??

By comparison where are the Ware twins right now..

This. 

And the whole academic scandal around UNC really affected Roy's ability to recruit, other teams were using that against UNC. So what'd Roy do? Develop the hell out of his players. Look at all the big men and point gaurds Roy's been able to develop over their time at UNC. Duke's become a one and done school like Kentucky.

    • Btw... only Mitch fugging Marner has a better +/- than Key 🔑!!! And, Mitchy needed 5 more games and almost 100 more shifts to get there.
    • I was honestly flabbergasted to see Rod send out Stanky and the boys to to matchup against their top line to start the game. The reason that line has been so effective is because they've been matched mostly against 2nd and 3rd lines all year. You've got last change. Use it to your advantage.
    • Nobody played well on defense last night. But, the vitriol towards Chatfield (and to a lesser extent, K'andre) is bigly misplaced. People (not just you) just refuse to accept how bad Slavin has been this season. And, I get it. Canes fans (and informed analysts) have spent nearly a decade trying to explain to casuals just how good Jaccccob is at hockey. 4Nations happened and the hockey watching public started to listen. National media even started floating the idea of creating a new award in his honor. Then this season, he gets hurt. It happens. NBD. But, when he finally came back, it wasn't the same. He'll get back to his old self in no time. Probably just some rust, it'll be fine. Only, it wasnt rust, and he's not fine. He's bad right now. It wasnt just last night. Although, that was absolutely the worst game of his NHL career. Slavin (-4) currently has the 3rd worst +/- of anyone left in the playoffs. We've  been begging the world to recognize Jaccob Slavin's greatness. And, by the time we finally got people to listen, he shits the bed! I blame Kash!
