    The Players Tribune - Grayson Allen

    Retired jersey he will receive.

    I also used to like Boeheim but I think that was manly because of K's high regard of him. Judging him without taking this into account really leaves me thinking that he's a bitter old man. Several examples of him being an a-hole. His antics when Duke beat Syracuse... his comments on Greensboro...

    ACC Tourney Thread...

    He may have given up in this one game but again you don't know what was going on in the background. Gottfried held no one accountable - Abu sits there firing up jump-shots to improve his draft stock, no one played defense (which again fingers can be pointed to the coaching), and a young kid hit...

    ACC Tourney Thread...

    Agree with you ticket. Yes there were examples in which he showed his frustration (Wake game for instance) but almost every win State had was due to his efforts. No one is perfect - especially those who are still under the drinking limit.

    ACC Tourney Thread...

    I disagree with this a bit especially because no one here really knows what went on behind closed doors. He's a kid who came in with huge expectations of himself, his team, and his program. All of those expectations weren't met. As an 19 year old kid, think he deserves a bit of a break on how he...

    I see both sides to this and as I've gotten older I've changed my tune a bit. In short, I don't have an issue with kids going to the pros ASAP in order to make money. The life expectancy of a basketball player is 35-40 tops which means the longer you wait, the less time you have to make money...

    ACC Tourney Thread...

    As a State fan I'm happy the season is over and I don't have to watch a Duke/State rematch. Ending to State's season was a joke and embarrassing on so many levels. As far as DSJ's draft stock, while he had a bad game I think he still goes high. Kid is a stud.

    ACC Standings are farce

    I think Pitt is much better than their record indicates and has played well as of late at home. I agree with you on UVA though and while I respect the hell out of Tony, attempting to hold UNC to minimal points is a tough feat. You have to be able to score some and that team they have just can't...

    ACC Standings are farce

    Yeah I think that Duke's schedule is tougher at this point. Before last night UNC may have had a tougher schedule given that Louisville > Syracuse. But again playing at home is a huge advantage that IMO puts Duke's schedule above that of UNC's in terms of difficulty (Duke before last night had...

    ***DUKE VS SYRACUSE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    Lateral quickness on this team is detrimental to achieving this IMO. Can't remember but I don't remember seeing zone at all last night. I think it's good to be able to switch things up so teams have to keep on their toes. That being said I'm not questioning the GOAT's tactics.

    ACC Standings are farce

    IMO its it's not worth complaining about the schedule. Think everyone can agree that it's not completely fair but it's certainly worth some respect if you win it given the strength of the ACC from top to bottom. While it appears UNC has locked up the regular season, there are still games to be...

    ***DUKE VS SYRACUSE OFFICIAL GAMEDAY THREAD***

    I haven't read this whole thread but few things I noticed. Grayson has the green light even when he is completely off. He made that one big three but in my opinion shot Duke out of the game. I also think his ankle injury is very much impacting his game - he settled for the NBA three way too many...

    Gottfried

    You certainly have to be someone that is ready to compete - the ACC is a monster now. Takes the right type of person but in order to be the best you have to compete with the best. If you seek mediocrity, the ACC isn't for you. Greg Marshall sure loves to compete and I'd welcome him with open...

    Gottfried

    I said the exact same thing in the main board thread on Calipari defending Gottfried. So many things wrong with how this situation was handled. At this point, if you're Debbie Yow, don't you find yourself pulling against your school so that this doesn't happen? Absurd. I'm guessing that she...

    Gottfried

    That's very interesting to hear. I remember hearing that Chuck didn't really have much control over the team but maybe that was due to the school (which is ludicrous - hopefully that has changed). As far as coaching expectations based on timelines, I tend to agree with you but a coach should...
