This has somehow devolved into one guy who lives in the woods spouting uninformed opinion as fact based on views from the interstate.

Jesus did they really do that?

K really turned Duke into a classless crew!

 

Many Moons ago the duke fans would cuss out the opposing team/player/coaches using some of most dirty language known to man. Shocked the TV didnt pick it up, they had to edit it out. Ive been to 3 games at K court, even some of the poorest HS had better gyms. That was the most shocking deal to me.

At me next time once you make it out of your crime stricken city and I lived in the triangle longer than you’ve probably been alive. Just because I have a different opinion than you doesn’t make it wrong or right you don’t have to get all upset about what I think of Durham… I don’t give too shits about what you think about Asheville or any other city in the world.

Sensitivity is at an all time high.

Who cares if Duke didn’t shake hands… player’s shaking hands is the most ridiculous thing in sports along with the national anthem.

NBA players only shake hands when they feel like it but aren’t required, NHL players only do it after a seven game series of punching each other in the mouth, soccer players only do it when they feel like it… coaches should shake hands because at that moment they are the highest representative of the organization that is available…. Players, who gives a poo.

I hate Duke as much as the next person but I don’t give a poo if they don’t shake hands.

Yep, I wouldn’t be surprised if Love has a long pro career with that natural scoring ability. See a lot of Terry Rozier in his game, with better defense.

I was thinking the same thing.  Hopefully, Love hangs around another year and develops even more.  This comment also got me thinking about Leaky Black.  You don't hear much scoring from him but he is on the court full time playing solid defense.  That shouldn't be overlooked and if he can limit one of Kansas's stars to minimal points Carolina has a great chance of winning on Monday.  

I think that is what sets UNC aside from many other programs.  They teach full fundamental of basketball.  Not only scoring but playing tough defense.  Those traits go a long way for a Pro prospect.

How many draft picks drift into obscurity because they just can't play defense.

It's a tradition in college basketball and only sore losers disrespect the tradition.  Duke has always been sore losers.  Duke didn't seem to have an issue with it when they won their region.

    • Are you now equating best/worst rush defense with best/worst defense? Those are separate things entirely. For rush defense, depending on how you quantify it, he has been largely in the bottom third of the league his entire career as a defensive coordinator.  As you can see, aside from his one year in Denver, he has never been above 20th in yardage. Now, there is context to consider which is most coordinators choose to run on him(24th-32nd ranked in his three year in Carolina). So, if you just simply look at Y/A, it has been a relatively mixed bag. Twice a top 15 defense but twice a bottom 15 defense.  The thing the should make all this good/bad run defense a lot clearer is the right most columns. Evero's defense has always prioritized pass defense and confusing QB's. That's the core of his defensive philosophy, as has been reported relatively widely. As much as there are ample personnel issues on that side of the ball(many of which he contributes to with his below average talent evaluations) his defenses may never be truly elite in rush and pass defense unless they are stocked with defensive talent. Like....his Denver defense that he inherited was. To that point, if you look at all those rankings from the three years Fangio(of whom Evero is a noted disciple) it shows a progression of getting steadily better into the far more elite defense it is now under Vance Joseph. As far as his HC interest, recall that he was a hot commodity after Denver and that cooled significantly after his first two years here. I suppose if you count getting interviews for HC positions as a benchmark for being a good coach(most would not) then he is middle of the packish.
