I can dig it. What if Duke was giving 100% though and their 100% just wasn't good enough? Then Coach K was wrong for sitting those guys. How'd you think that'd make them feel'd?Red Rider Nation;1012964 wrote:Let me answer this. Ohio State beat Duke 85-63. It happened two weeks ago and Duke is 9-1 and Ohio St is 8-1. Yes Duke will lose probably 5 or 6 more games and I am OK with it. We lost a couple bad last year and the year before. Its college hoop guys and games right now are meaningless. Once conference play starts in January we start to see who the Top dogs are. Yes Ohio St beat us bad, very bad but it made Duke a better team. OSU is the better team and we lost our focus completely that night but have been a different team since that game. Coach K does not put up with his kids not giving 100% and that is why Ryan Kelly, Dawkins, and Curry sat most of the 2nd half in the OSU game. I agree with COach 100% and it has made our team better. My theory is if you are gonna lose and learn a lesson then lose bad and learn the lesson in a bad way. We did that 2 weeks ago and again I am fine with it.

I should not have said 100%. Duke is Duke on offense if they have an off shooting night they lose. However on defense is where Duke always stays in the game and they were getting out hustlled on defense and I havent seen that in a long time under COach K. He took them guys out because of it and taught them a lesson. I am just telling you it worked with those guys as those 3 have played well since then. I have seen COach K remove all 5 starters before if they are not giving it their all. He is that kind of guy!dwccrew;1012970 wrote:I can dig it.

He just waits til after the fact, then claims to have said that's waht he thought would happene all along. It's classic cbf.
