Amen.Jesus dude, you're so over dramatic.
Get well Coach K. This is just a bump in the road. Drink a beer or your beverage or choice and enjoy the weekend everyone!
If that's what you were referring to, then ok. timo, thanks for the heads up people have opinions, I wasn't sure.
No problem!If that's what you were referring to, then ok. timo, thanks for the heads up people have opinions, I wasn't sure.
I think K is covering for someone/something. Fine by me. He doesn't owe anyone outside the program any further explanation. Get well, Coach.
I agree...I think it's more than just his surgery
We may never know though
Coack K seems like he's taking one for the team. I bet ya'll there's some other reason we're not wanting to go and this is a PR cover. I'm sure he needs the surgery, but the timing makes no sense. He could've done it earlier. It's not like the pain just started.
Question: does this count as our once per 4 year trip now that we've been granted early practices?
Extremely and anyone who don't has blinders on
What did you think I meant LOL
I have no clue; his statement just seemed odd to me. What if they were not pleased with accomodations and didn't want to embarass someone in the DR? What if one of our players could not go for an embarassing reason? There's also the Bagley/chemistry thing. It just doesn't seem likely to me that K would all the sudden decide his knee is the reason to cancel such well made plans. It feels like he's protecting something else. If he felt like his knee was that important to the season, he would've gotten the work done earlier in the summer. I feel like the team could travel without him too, unless chemistry is really that big of a concern.What do you think he is covering. OFC
Okay, so K has had a run of orthopaedic surgeries. This is not like he's got COPD, or congestive heart failure, liver disease, etc., just means he probably has a lot of osteoarthritis of his joints...like I do. I've had 5 operations myself, and need several more, which I've put off.
Chronic pain, and how it affects you is something that would be hard to describe unless you've experienced it yourself. Believe me, you can be 'grinding it out' day by day, and then all the sudden you feel like you can't stand it anymore...then perhaps the next day you change your mind again, and decide you don't want to go through with another surgery (and the rehab that goes with it). That's what I've did for quite awhile now (flip flopping to do or not), but I'm not the coach of a major basketball program. K has a lot of responsibility...to his employer, his players, his coaches, his family, and last but not least, to himself. I'm sure he's given this a lot of thought, and doing what he feels is the best thing...for everyone.
And finally, he's just about replaced all the lower weight bearing joints...he should be good to go for awhile , and I expect to see him coaching for another 5 years, or even more.
OFC
Well your comments were "WHAT A JOKE" and then you insinuated something "fishy" was going on? Just sounded kinda off base to me.
I have blinders on. It seems a few of us feel something is going on that is not quite on the up and up within the Duke basketball program. If any of you know what's going on please let it be known. Are we going to have hear it from another source such as guru gary-7,flatarheel/frankthetarheel. For goodness sake they seem to know all the inside info. OFC
Oh no I didn't mean anything fishy I just meant concerned we couldn't let capel go and that coach is a surgery man now
Hope you're jokingHold the hell up! Where is Capel? He can coach in ACC games but not against the DR. Coach K is trippin. Have your surgery but don't take our joy away. We were all hyped about watching these games
What do you think it is. OFC
Don't honestly know but I just find it strange to happen at this point....and the fact Capel don't just take them makes it weird too
Maybe I'm looking too much into it...who knows
This may be a blessing in disguise...#2moremonths
This wasn't a decision that was made overnight.
What is amazing on a sports forum board, be it a tidly wink pee wee league team or a major university basketball program like Duke is the fact that so many fans assume they know everything there is about what's going on in their beloved program. The truth of the matter is no one knows a damn thing as we are just fans of the team and not privy to anything unless the schools SID or the schools coach tells us. The only thing and I repeat, the only thing we know is very little about nothing.
Don't think anybody including me ever said they KNEW what was going on...people like me questioned it and I still think there is more to this but pal you are right I don't know for sure...just a guess...like I'm sure you do on things too
