Kansas vs Duke

Coach K is a great coach and great motivator. His m2m defense was once incredible (not anymore with OAD as only Coach Calipari has been able to get OAD players to play tough m2m) and his players shoot 3s better than any team I have ever seen. He has also brought us both the defensive and offensive flop, has been unwilling to discipline GA which has led to more issues, and constantly harangues officials with language unbecoming a leader of men. All coaches have good and bad to them.
Meh...not rooting for either
Just want Nova to beat whoever wins.
Feel like Villanova would have an easier team with KU than they would Duke
Nope.
And until Jimmy V died he would have been a lot better than K by now had he stayed out of trouble, but seeing as how the NCAA avoids punishing those programs, they'd probably have gotten past his slime.
K is benefiting from really bad competition and the ability to sign kids that cant get eligible anywhere else. It matters.
Adolph Rupp won more titles than 4 when it comes down to it and helped invent the style of basketball that resembles todays game. I think Rupp was far more revolutionary and better.
Pitino messed up his career but he is a better coach who, had he stayed put, would be the coach of this generation.
K didn't leave Duke and has nearly been there half a century. He also receives selective enforcement and is allowed to do things others simply aren't. He also gets the benefit of easy whistles.
I also think it's important to look at who adapts to who. K adapted to Pitino's style, Pitino didn't adapt to his. K adapted to Cal's style, Cal didn't adapt to his.
What coach can we name that has actually adapted to the Duke model?
None.
If Kansas has a lead with under 7 to go, get ready for the Duke bench and coaches to whine like 4 year olds every time something goes against them.
Last year I thought Kennard was going to seriously start throwing a fit at the ref.
Grayson will try and hurt someone.

Kansas is +10 on the boards and they play 3 guards under 6-5 and a skinny 6-8 wing the majority of the game.
Cue K throwing the clip board and faking a heart attack on the sidelines and after he gets up he'll grab the PA mic and announce his retirement but will continue to coach the next 10 years
Has a team that lives and dies on 3s ever won a national title? Kansas would rather take a contested 3 than a layup.
Not sure if serious.

If he does, they should send in that big white guy from Kansas to clothesline him.
Their bigs are good enough to win.. it was nice of them to get FR eligible in time.
Kansas staff should have warned him about about the Sullinger rule that was passed in 2011. One big man a year gets a 3 foot halo around him and if you enter it's a foul. Bagley was this year's pick at the annual ref conference.
Of course they gave him that **** call. Trent leans way over to initiate contact. And they get away with everything. Fix is clearly in.
It is incredibly annoying when a player purposely leans into a player in order to initiate contact and then shoots. They shouldn't call fouls on stuff like that.
