The coaching of Jon Scheyer

I want Proctor back because we need some continuity. Proctor can be frustrating but he is not that far from being an elite guard. Who knows what Foster is going to do. We need program guys that will stay. Pat, Evans, Brown. Proctor. I think we caught lightning in a bottle this year, mostly due to Cooper and Kon; returning only 2 guys is normally not a recipe for major success.
***Just checked the score Houston up 6 on Florida. Now tied.
Did Sampson really refer to the ACC as a toy poodle league? Damn.

In fairness, I'm not sure Sampson was referring to the Acc. I think he was saying that they dominated a great conference. I think the Big 12 was grossly overrated this year. That being said, I think he was touting his conference, not dogging ours.

Jon is smart, and will win a lot of games, but he got out coached by Sampson. Simple as that. No substitutions were made to give our main guys a break in the 2nd half, and it showed. Kon didn’t play like a lottery pick down the stretch. Other than a few free throws, he didn’t do much in the 2nd half. But he plays at Duke, so he’s a lottery pick and I doubt we see him as a tougher sophomore.
I’m not trying to hate on Proctor, but I just don’t get people hoping he stays. He wilts under pressure, and his ball handling is actually below average for a guard.

In spite of all that, we still should have won because we had Cooper. He’s that freaking good.

Can of worms

D
Wasnt sure where to post so adding this here...talk about a can of worms...if former players sue and win these types of lawsuits....oh boy
"Former NCAA tournament hero Kris Jenkins, in a lawsuit filed last week with the Southern District of New York, is suing the NCAA and six major conferences for limiting athlete pay and restricting his ability to capitalize off his name, image and likeness while he was at Villanova University"

Jon is a good, not great coach just yet but he’s already accomplished so much. Make no mistake, 98% of the programs out there would take him in a heartbeat. However, it’s okay to be critical and he had a very poor game Saturday at the worst time.

That loss hurts and it’s one that will never fully heal. This team without a doubt was the best team in the country and we should be about 2-3 hours away from hanging #6. I’m upset still at the moment and anyone who voices their frustrations here isn’t saying we didn’t have a great season and Jon didn’t do a wonderful job, but it’s okay to be pissed off.

The Duke train will roll on and we will be in a good spot to go to our 19th final four next year, but this is 99 team letdown. Sh*t sucks!

I was tough on Maluach with my criticism of his play on Saturday night and that wasn’t fair to him.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio had announced that the U.S. would be immediately revoking visas issued to all South Sudanese passport holders due to the African nation refusing to accept its citizens who have been removed from the U.S. Maluach and his family were escorted by police all weekend in San Antonio. In addition, he may not be able to finish his classes at Duke this semester. When Maluach is selected in the NBA Draft, he may have to wait until the situation improves before he can work out with his NBA Team.

Maluach took the proper steps to enroll at Duke and create a better life for himself. The situation between his home country and the U.S. had to have been weighing on his mind all weekend.

🙏 Prayers for Maluach and His Family

Official game day thread- THE final four- Duke vs Houston

D
Still hard to imagine. Tonight Houston plays, and they may very well win. I wanted to play Florida. I’m still irked by Coach Sampsons comment about a week ACC. Last I checked he came from the AAC and Big 12. Big words from a Houston team that was bounced last year in the Sweet 16 and has no Houston banners to show of.

Sports can be a nice distraction, and this board is certainly fun. But I try not to get too emotionally involved. Not saying I don't care, but you can't hitch your happiness/hope wagon to something you have zero control over. I think after the Zion year I distanced myself a little bit. That is exactly why I do not predict natty's; because so much has to go right. Final Four is a more attainable goal; even sweet 16 is a good year. The game is also changing; and the constant roster turnover means less 4 year guys, etc. The NIL mania is a turn off for me but it is what it is.

Thanks, brother, for the kind words! I have a lot of personal stuff going on of late, but the distraction of Duke basketball gave me such a positive emotional lift. The loss hit harder than usual because of it. Well, I take all my teams losing hard, but none harder than Duke or my dysfunctional Raiders. I get way too upset over sports. I have for years, and I need to be calmer. I love hiking and going to movies which I need to do more. Anyway, man, your kind words of encouragement mean so much; thank you!

Best advice I can give you Brother is to distribute your energy towards other people and things that bring you happiness.

For me it’s:

Working Out
Family
Friends
Grilling Out
NBA (follow the former Blue Devils throughout the playoffs)
Being outside and enjoying the weather
Watching good shows (Last of Us Season 2 premiers on Sunday 04/13)
Going to the movies

I wish our guys were playing tonight too Bleed, but it’s very difficult to win it all and Duke bowed out in perhaps the Most Stacked Final 4 in Men’s College Basketball History, it’s not a failure in my eyes. All 4 Teams in this year’s Final 4 are some of the Greatest Men’s College Basketball Teams in the tournament’s history from both an Offensive and Defensive Efficiency Standpoint

Keep Your Head Up Brother
