Official game day thread- Duke va Kansas

[sheyduke]

Proctor and Foster are not your issues...neither is James. What can Cooper, Kon, Ma, Brown, Gillis and and others give you???

Huh? What are you even referring to? With out Kon, Flag or Brown Duke has one more loss then two .
Mal was always going to be a project he hadn’t been playing basketball but for the last three years .

Flagg is not failing. He showed up against Kentucky and Arizona. Yes, he had the two turnovers at the end of the Kentucky game, but Flagg is producing.

How has he really failed ? I mean he does it all and yes he’s headed to the league next year but the kid is generational. Now I hope everyone sees why I wanted him at SF . Bigger power forwards with experience are always going to be trouble for a 17 year old Flag especially when they have an experienced center. Auburn is going to do the same as Kansas against Flag .

Agree with you on Cooper doing it all. He’s really good, no denying that. But I don’t think it matter whether he’s a small or power forward. The issue is we lean on him too much offensively. It makes us predictable. And good coaches with solid talent are making it tough on him.

It also seems to be a yearly conversation about our lack of ball movement, and why so and so isn’t getting any playing time.

Despite his poor and abbreviated tenure at Pitt, Kevin Stallings took Vanderbilt to seven NCAA tournament and two Sweet 16 appearances, Stallings doesn't remotely qualify as a "bad" college coach. And quite frankly Jon hasn't shown anything thus far to suggest he could produce better results at a program with the stature and resources of a Vanderbilt.

Haha, Jon is infinitely better than Stallings.

At recruiting. Jon may yet get there. He has done a solid job.
But no one outside of Duke fans calls him a coaching savant.

 

[bleediteveryday30]

At recruiting, Jon may still reach great heights. He has done a solid job thus far. However, outside of Duke fans, few consider him a coaching savant.

While I’m not calling him a savant, I do believe he is far better than everyone I previously mentioned. I think he will have a long and successful career at Duke. Fair or not, our expectations are high because of the legendary status of the GOAT. Jon feels the pressure to bring a championship to Durham, and I believe he will succeed.

Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance - translates to experience and knowledge will beat youth and talent...unfortunately we are the latter,....every year

We have both but we choose to go to a freshman with the game on the line.

We all seen Flip with so many turnovers doing the spin move in traffic. I hope Cooper nips that in the bud quickly. Not sure who is teaching that lol

It’s not teached , it’s his instincts. It’s trying to force the the action . Trying to do too much . He’s done a lot of that thus far . Jon could have a hand in it also. But it needs to stop . I’m confused, he’s surrounded by top tier talent. There’s no need for flag to try to “take over a game, carry a team on his back” which he’s proven thus far cannot anyway. Makes no sense to me . Hes young, why put that pressure on him anyway….

 

[christophero]

J Will mentioned Cooper getting the ball, passing it back, and getting it in scoring position. You would have to set a screen. If you get the ball too far away you have to work harder.

For those including me criticizing Jon's coaching, you ain't seen bad coaching until you just saw what happened to Eberflus and the Bears lol

 

[bullcity gamer]

The Only Blue. Eberflus needs to be relieved of his duties. Unacceptable to not get a field goal attempt with a timeout available with 20
Seconds left in the game. Nothing that happens to the bears surprises me anymore. I’m just used to them letting me down!

Sorry bullcity. That was awful. Why not just call a timeout and then run a play. Even if you get 10 yards, you still have maybe 20 seconds to run the fg team out there. Ridiculous to let 25 seconds to run off the clock and not even give yourself a chance

Now THAT is bad coaching. How the hell do you not call a timeout?!

 

[bullcity gamer]

According to [Lieser] Incredibly, Matt Eberflus says of his clock management in the final sequence of the Bears' loss, "I think we handled it the right way."

Can’t make this stuff up!

Seriously Blue, the Game Winning Hail Mary by Jaden Daniels against Washington and the game winning fg block by the Packers a couple weeks ago with the Bears being on the short end of those games did not surprise me one bit!

The Bears Organization will probably give Eberflus a contract extension and I wish I was joking!

 

[christophero]

Yes they mentioned if you snap it at 10 seconds you can run another play.

The coaching and QB play in the NFL is terrible. This NY giants QB #2 is pathetic

 

[hart2chesson]

Stallings left PITT in dumpster fire. Capel just now getting it back together. Bleed I am with you all the way!
