    Rex...... Here we go again

    I thought it was fascinating that the UK/Drake minor self reported violations got more headlines than the entire UNC 3 decades long cheating scandal that is the largest in NCAA history.

    Was there ever a coaching hire where you thought "Man, this just isn't going to work?"

    Kelvin Sampson to IU was very strange to me. Almost queasy. That was just a total non-fit.

    Phil Jackson: Duke Players Fail To Live Up To Expectations In The NBA

    You want the thread about Phil Jackson calling Duke players busts to die slowly? Not me, I want this baby marquee neon lights fireworks and monkeys clanging symbols for about 9 years.

    Phil Jackson: Duke Players Fail To Live Up To Expectations In The NBA

    Okay, to you the best PG in the NBA at the time who also won an NBA Championship was not a superstar at that time, to you. Got it.

    Phil Jackson: Duke Players Fail To Live Up To Expectations In The NBA

    If you're the best or one of the very few best at your position in the NBA you are a superstar.

    Phil Jackson: Duke Players Fail To Live Up To Expectations In The NBA

    Hacking, slapping, eye-gouging, and flopping are not defense. That's why your players do not perform well in the NBA as the greatest coach in NBA history has so succinctly pointed out. Had they learned actual legitimate defensive techniques instead of ballet, acting, and judo then you'd have a...

    Phil Jackson: Duke Players Fail To Live Up To Expectations In The NBA

    If they went to UK instead of Duke they'd be able to play defense instead of lay on their back in the flipped over turtle position. You think Okafor is a clueless oaf out there on D if UK had him for a year banging with Willy and Dakari?

    If push came to shove Karl was out the door and everybody knows it... except maybe folks that don't think AD is a superstar.

    The Kings were ready to fire Karl to make Cousins happy... that's pretty damned superstarish.

    I think AD would be the top pick around the league if GMs were building a team right now. Everybody knows AD is next.

    Anyone that thinks Kristaps Porzingis is going to be the next Darko doesn't know what they are talking about and is probably making an assumption on race. Porzingis is going to be a star. Much better comparison to a more athletic Dirk thank Darko.

    Phil Jackson: Duke Players Fail To Live Up To Expectations In The NBA

    I have been wanting flopping to get T'd up in college now for about 20 years. I hate that crap. Any Kentucky player flops or floor slaps then they should be taken out of the game immediately and benched. I am so happy that Kentucky has never taught that crap like Duke pulls. I cannot stand to...

    Phil Jackson: Duke Players Fail To Live Up To Expectations In The NBA

    Phil has a solid point that has a lot more to do than just not wanting no defense Okafor. Duke players are not taught defensive skills that translate to the league.
