He can't control what team or situation his kids are put in.
He can't stop chronic injuries
He can't stop motorcycle and car accidents
He can't stop moronic trades
He can't stop poor signings
He can't do anything to influence the NBA

cry much?

Just out of curiousity, how many NBA championship players has Roy Williams coached?? How about Jim Calhoun?

While it is an interesting fact, it is no way a reflection on Coach K. He has recruited some very good players to Duke, which has resulted in him having some very goos teams.What happened to those players after leaving Duke was and is out of his control.

So if, Alaa Abdelnaby had won a championship while riding the bench in Portland or Boston it would mean something??
