anyone watching the GT BC game? Dan Dakich is butt hurt from all the criticism thrown his way over the Bagley comments. He said “Duke fans have been saying some really mean things to me”...I’d Dan D doesn’t like criticism then don’t call a college player selfish

I don’t know why should the guy just come out and only say things that people want to hear?
He wasn’t the only one who said that about Bagley .

I have no issue with Dakich and honestly people who feel it’s okay to be nasty to someone through social media are worse then the person who said what he did publicly.
Dakichs comments are more aggressive then needed on a kid he doesn’t know but had he said that about a UNC kid then Duke fans would be assuming he has inside sources and it’s true.
Everyone is so ready to be a critic on the other side of a cpu to those who are trying to make a living in front of the camera.

So people aren’t entitled to their opinion or address them to him or others publicly? You ever talk **** about your boss to a co-worker or friend? Ever get on social media and disagree with someone???
And if he can’t take the backlash from the public then he’s in the wrong field.

Comes with the territory. He's a big boy, if he can't handle some backlash from fans then maybe he should just stick to calling the games and keep his opinions of individual players to himself. Not saying he should, just that he shouldn't whine on television when people respond to his comments.
When you say something that isn't true, you should expect to be called out on it
That’s the thing in this case: Bagley has done exactly what the coaches have asked of him. He made good grades, he represented his school well and has been mature on the court. I have wished at times that he prioritized defense and passing more, but it wasn’t due to selfishness, rather he was tired or just being a typical freshman. Dakich decided to make a hot take and now he must pay the price for that type of move. That’s the business. As long as the comments directed at him are things like “you’re an idiot”, I see no issue. Hopefully no one got personal.
Because he once held michael Jordan to 13 points hahaha!
He said that for real? So he can dish it but can't take it huh?
Hopefully, he's calling the early games and Jay is calling the night games (like usual).
I actually hope K runs into Dan and give him a Brooklyn beat down.
To be fair though he's mostly that way to everyone. It's his most redeeming quality
I think at one point he tried to save face and say that he loves Bagley’s game...kinda reminded me of the guy who hates Muslims but says he has lots of Muslim friends
There was a coach in 2015 that basically dissed K's defense after thrashing Duke in Cameron. The next game Duke played zone and we know the rest of the story.
Maybe Dakich's comments will cause a similar end result.

It is what it is....I thought Dakich was a tool before those comments.
Hell, we had plenty of posters on this very board who said and insinuated just as much as Dan about Bagley. And guess what? If we lose early this year they will start right up again. Marvin quieted a few posters with that second half on Saturday....for that I thank him.

The only thing he said about Bagley was that he was a bit selfish. He also said he was an emince talent and a great basketball player but sometimes he should look to pass instead of attempting his shot. Billas said just about the he same thing earlier that day when asked about Bagley and Jwill said the same thing at half time just didn’t call him selfish.
The guy is doing his job and while I agree if you can dish it better be ready to take it. I do think he’s pointing out volgarity and personal attacks on him. I didn’t take not one thing he said about Bagley as being bad or be little he the kid. Most on this board have said similar things it just gets over looked because it’s a Duke fan saying it.

Here's the difference....this is a fan message board. Dakich is supposed to be a professional.
Grayson faced a lot of attacks the last two years, too. Much of that was brought on by himself, but some of it went overboard. I think those comments he made the other night crossed a 'professional' line. That's where my issue lies.
Dean Smith held Michael to 13 points. Dakich just stole the credit.
And that’s where we di
That’s where we differ. He will face the same criticism in the league. He will only be a year older next year, still a young man. All Dan Dakish did was say he’s selfish if that hurts his feelings and hurts some Duke fans feelings then Duke fans might as well get used to it because all he said was the same thing that gm’s and scouts are asking. That’s why Bagley is not the unanimous number one over all pick.
If saying some one is a little to selfish is crossing the line I don’t hear no one complaining about Jwill saying,” why not to Dans tone I would have to agree Bagley does need to look to kick it out to his teammates more instead of just putting up unmakable shots!”
One is point forward the other is beating around the bush either way they were both saying the same thing

Great so he wasn’t the only one who said ignorant, dumbass things. Oops okay Dan, sorry there are other asshats that agree with the lies you spewed on National television. Give me a break.....
But yet it becomes a subject that people will continue to talk about just like click bait. We wouldn’t be having this conversation if it was any other teams player.
If the brotherhood is about preparing these boys for life then they better teach them not just about the highs.
No, they weren't saying the same thing. How one can even decipher that is beyond me.
If I say, "I think Marvin needs to recognize at times, when the defense slides over, that he needs to make quicker decisions or react better." That is not me calling him selfish. That's critiquing someone. My point wasn't even to begin calling him selfish.
Second point....if I say, "Duke played really well the last four games without Bagley in the lineup." That is not me saying or suggesting that the team is better without him. Dan Dakich flat out said, Duke is better without him on the floor.
So no, one is not point forward and the other beating around the bush. Not even close.
When I made my original post, a BC player had just committed his 9th turnover but Dakich couldn’t keep track because said something to the effect of “that was his 7th turnover, make that his 8th turnovet, actually it was his 9th turnover”

No he didn’t he said Duke looked like a better team without Bagley on the floor. The fact he said it during a game is the only reason it’s still being talked about.
If it was said on sports center, college game day live or any other talk show half the fan base wouldn’t know anything was said. So when Seth Greenburg said at the half that Duke has been playing better with out Bagley on the floor and maybe it might benefit Duke playing one big because hey Carter is just as good might be something coach K needs to think about going forward bringing one of them off the bench.
The fan base is just butt hurt because he called Bagley selfish. I didn’t see half of them as mad when the twenty plus sports commentators were saying worse about Grayson. I’m done with this but I hope the kid don’t end up in Philly, Detroit, or any of the lower teams in the league because he’ll get called way worse.
Put me on ignore then.
And no I don’t see a problem with what was said I looked at it during the game and forgot all about it because it’s an opinion of someone’s not fact.
Dakich is angry his son will never sniff the NBA lol. NEEVVVERRRRR (squintz from sandlot voice).
I’ll admit it. I said Saturday he looked like a doofus trying to rebound. I’m not gonna lie about it. He looked lost. He looked lost until the 2nd half Saturday. Whatever K said to him I hope it sticks the rest of the year. If so, I’ll be in Durham watching them hang a 6th banner.
Biggest (anything positive) Duke contrarian on the entire board. You’re argument doesn’t even make sense for crying out loud lol
I will say a part of me thought the team was maybe better without Bagley. Right before he went out, it didn't look as if the team was having fun, and that's even before the loss to the Holes. Maybe they felt pressure to not lose, I don't really know.
During his injury though, the team looked to be having fun. It seemed everyone knew their role, and Grayson seemed to get his mojo back. There was even a moment after the home beat down against VT, I think, where after the game Carter came and jokingly got into Grayson's on court interview with Maria Taylor from ESPN. Add to it what the analysts were saying about the team made me wonder, not going to lie.
What changed fully for me was the on court hug Marvin gave Grayson after beating Carolina. There IS a connection with the team. I should never have thought that. Bagley is a great talent and teammate, not selfish at all, just has probably had to learn that this isn't high school, and his teammates are not chumps.

Then put me on ignore dude I said I’m done with it. If it bothers you that much contact ESPN and file a complaint. This is a message board I don’t have to make one hundred complete since. It’s “ My opinion” not to be ridiculed or correct how ever the difference is, I don’t care what I am in your opinion I Know what I am and am capable of which I’m very sure Bagley knows the same thing and hasn’t looked back at any negative comment made about him.
Dakich is pretty outspoken in his comments, and definitely has a different style putting it mildly. I dont have a problem with him because hes consistently that way, and doesnt just give you the party line so to speak.
In retrospect I think maybe did Duke and Bagley a huge favor. "Bags" was as fired up as I've seen against UNC. OFC

Maybe I misunderstood Dakich, but I thought he called him selfish and a hole that if the ball went inside to him it wasn't coming back out. I have to agree with Dukiejay, he could have critiqued his game, but he flat out dogged him on national t.v. The kid is still a teenager and amateur even though he will be a millionaire in a matter of months. Dakich was very unprofessional.
Hope I see Dakich tomm, will have few choice words for him. Can't run your mouth & play offended when fan bases fire back.
