They are poking fun at all the people, including some Duke fans, who claim OADs are ruining college hoops. They are not serious about Duke and Coach K "ruining" anything.Seeing this post made me curious so I went to their message board and found several hilarious quotes... similar to THR.

It's comical how they keep saying Coach K is ruining college/high school basketball because of the OAD/reclassifying... uhhhhhhh you're kidding, right? Look in the mirror. Cal did/does the exact same thing?
I guess that's what you get when you marry your cousin. (Too far?)
No need to emulate a UK board with misspellings in our posts.So are UNC and KU fans. Three beheamoths of college basketball, three gigantic schools, jealous and downright terrified of Duke.
Funny how they complain about Coach K coaching the national team, but they ignore the fact that a bunch of other college coaches actually coach the high school players, and technically have more access to them than he does. They also ignore the fact that Cal gave Towns a spot over an NBA player on the national team he coached.
Don't think they're jealous so much as upset we 'stole' their title last year and that our recruiting is really impacting the guys they're getting. They're very proud of having the 'best recruiter in the game' but they can't say that with a straight face anymore. I think most would agree that Coach K is a better strategist and X's & O's coach than Cal. If he's now getting better talent, where does that leave UK? No place those fans want to admit.
I've posted at KY rivals for many years. It's one of the best boards to talk hoops since it's so active with a lot of good insight and I really appreciate the Kentucky passion for the same sport that I have such a passion for. It's great and there are many great fans over there. With that said, no question there's a percentage that is absolutely butt hurt over Duke winning the 2015 National Championship and that percentage has yet to recover from it.
Nobody is terrified of duke. Certainly not UK.So are UNC and KU fans. Three beheamoths of college basketball, three gigantic schools, jealous and downright terrified of Duke.
With the addition of Jamal Murray I believe UK now has a better class coming in than Duke.
Skal, Briscoe, Murray, Matthews, Mulder
Why would we be jealous of you when we have those guys coming in? Ulis, Lee and Poythress are all returning as well.
Yeah, pure objectivity right?Of course you feel UK has the better class, you're a UK fan.
Did I say 40 - 0? Also, Kentucky was pretty damn close to that this past year.
Keep laughing... Kentucky leads the NCAA in wins and has 8 Championships. All of Duke's titles have come from one man. Kentucky has had 5 different coaches win championships and has competed at a high level in every decade. There is no jealousy here.
The most commonly used reference for class rankings is RSCI. Per that, both our 2014 and 2015 classes were better than UK's. https://sites.google.com/site/rscihoops/home/the-winners/2015-winnersWith the addition of Jamal Murray I believe UK now has a better class coming in than Duke.

what does this "your championships have all come from one man" crap mean? I hear it all the time from opposing fans as a way to say Duke won't be good when K leaves but all it really is is grasping at straws HOPING that's what happens but honestly deep down you all know it won't. If UK didn't play a joke sched last year and go into the tourney undefeated people woulda took off the blinders and realized Duke was the best team all year. Also not believing our class coming in is better is delusional. All the UK fans are still ticked about not getting Luke which is who you all wanted most of all. After Nov when we beat you again how will you be acting? Wait I already have it..."I know one thing they better hope they get a cupcake tourney road and we get knocked out again so they can win a ship" hahahaha stay in your delusional worldDid I say 40 - 0?

We didn't have a blowout loss in the national title game did we? It's one thing to bring in the number one recruiting class year after year, but it's another thing to actually be able to coach them to a championship.Skal is ranked higher than anyone you have, and your highest ranked guy(ingram) needs to put on some serious weight to be an impact player for you. The kid is a string bean and we be pushed around. Murray is a top 10 guy and most sites haven't updated the rankings to include him with the 2015 class. Then you have Briscoe who isn't far behind talent wise from your incoming point guard, and obviously Charles Matthews is a talented wing.
You can talk about the SEC but the Cats played a very tough non conference schedule and destroyed everyone. We didn't have any blow out losses at home to teams like Miami, the best team didn't win the championship this year. It happens, congrats on the title.
I look forward to the upcoming game as well.

KYFord,
Coach K and Duke have won a title in 4 different decades. That is some serious sustained success. One coach or not.
Now as far as recruiting classes go, I do think UK;s class got a whole lot better with the addition of Murray. Skal could be the top pick in the next draft and with Briscoe and Newman also coming in, that is a heck of a class. I think a clear argument can be made for UK and thier class being tops. However, Duke's class is pretty darn good as well. UK fans should not have anything to be jealous about in regards to Duke, but that does not stop some from getting sour grapes.
