    Mitchell could play the 3 or the 4 and Flip could play the 4 or the 5. Scheyer could tweak the offense to allow for this to accomocate all three of those guys and still maximize their offensive games imo. However, I get it.

    If you were coaching vs Purdue, what would you have done differently?

    Rather than run a traditional double from the weak side, I would have decided if there was any player out there in a Purdue uniform that i was willing to live and die with them shooting open threes and I would have doubled on the post with that guy every time. If there was no Purdue player like...

    GG Jackson….

    I could see Keels coming back based on advice he could get from inside his own locker room. Being patient is about to pay off big for Moore and he may embrace one more year with Roach.

    Desire, Toughness and Hunger...can't coach or teach it!

    I am headed to Greenville assuming Duke is sent there. Ironically, the last game I attended in person was the Michigan St. regional final vs Zion and company and we lost that game because of a miscommunication on a switch!! Maybe it's time to go old school and guard 'our' man.

    Desire, Toughness and Hunger...can't coach or teach it!

    I think the softness you see is encouraged by a defense that switches anytime two offensive players get within 10 feet of each other. The constant switching makes the defense look like keystone cops, puts Roach defending in the post, and constantly puts Mark 20 feet from the basket guarding 3...

    Virginia Military for 8 years as an assistant, then 15 years as a head coach at a D3.

    Likelyhood of Greenville?

    Appreciate the insights. I'll keep my fingers crossed but it sounds likely. 20 years ago while an assistant in the Southern Conference we played our conference tournament there I think, if it was called the Bi-Lo center back then?

    Likelyhood of Greenville?

    Anyone really understand what determines if we go to Greenville for the 1st round or somewhere else? I went ahead and purchased tickets for the family today assuming I can sell later if we get sent somewhere else because I don't really have a clear understanding on what will unltimately...

    ***DUKE VS MIAMI OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    Last year K went to that switching pack-line defense for the ACC tournament and I thought it produced our two best defensive games of the year before Covid bite us. I wish we had developed those concepts this year. I love overplay, denial defense but it is so much more affective when you have...

    Jordan Goldwire commits

    Can someone explain this to me? Jordan became a good story, under recruited kid who came to Duke and worked himself into a solid ACC player. He becomes a team leader and Coach 'K' rewards him with a ton of minutes. Now he transfers for his final year?? Jordan was a good player but often his...

    Most Important shot in Duke History????

    I've always thought Hurley's three was the biggest shot in Duke history though it would only be a footnote if not for Brian Davis's and 1 moments later.

    DJ Steward

    Why wouldn't you come back and play your way into the 1st round to at least guarantee yourself a good initial payday even if your career doesn't pan out? William Avery left before he was ready but at least had a 1st round contract to justify the move. I sure hope all this helps us with Keels...

    ***DUKE VS COPPIN STATE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    While I like Goldwire, I think starting and playing 25 minutes exposes the weaknesses of his game. 10-15 minutes where his focus was intense defense and his efficiency would skyrocket. I 'think' the turnovers will decrease naturally as these guys get comfortable playing together. The defense...

    Biggest “What if’s” in Duke basketball (BK-Before K)

    What if we played man to man vs Kentucky and doubled Givens on every catch rather than watching him carve our 2-3 zone for 40+?

    Matthew Hurt Returning to Duke

    I think this is HUGE!! Hurt has all the tools to be special but could never quite put it all together as a freshman. The biggest jump kids often make is between their freshman and sophomore years though they rarely get the chance to show that improvement these days. I see him returning...

    Duke signature plays.

    Three more that I like: 1. Brian Davis dunk late in UNLV game off penetration from Koubek. 2. Brian Davis with very similar play several minutes later in same game to give Duke the lead late. It was an and 1 off penetration from Grant Hill. 3. Jeff Capel's behind the back pass to Tony Lang...

    92 Duke-UK game

    I had forgotten how many big shots Thomas Hill made in that game. Kid was such a huge part of all that success while being a 4th option (on offense) at best.

    Duke signature plays.

    Sky beat me to the Gene Banks jumper on senior day so I'll take Johnny Dawkins reverse slam vs Navy in the NCAA's as well as Phil Henderson's dunk on Alonzo in the East Region final.

    Keep playing Goldwire and Duke is an easy out in NCAAs

    Sounds like we are pretty close on our thoughts. Just for the record.....I agree that Hurt isn't physically ready to defend 5's. With that said......we could double down to help him and rotate on the kickout. I think his confidence rises when he can take his guy off the bounce which opens...
